How's your french?

great post now as you said just need translator.

 

WHAT?!?!? Realplayer still exists? That, in itself, is the most amazing thing about this post!! I thought it died out during the transition to 56k modems!



p.s. cool vid.

 

If you really want to know, he says "I have a fantasme" which, as you have guessed, is a fantasy.

 

I made a quick translation:

They make a comparison of all the V8 Ferrari's.

Some of the most important comments:

308
The 308 belonged to the famous french moviestar Alain Delon.
The racing driver says it makes the same sound as a new Golf GTi.

328
They kept the lateral air intakes of the 308 throughout the different series.

348
7.21 The host asks who wants to drive which car. The racing driver would like to ask a big favour from the presenter and would like to drive the 348. It's his boyhood's dream.

360/430
The air intakes were put above and below.
Engine was put in a "display".

8:40 They don't want to drive the cars on a track because they weren't made for it. During a test a couple of years ago they took a 348 to the track and after 2 laps it shot through it's brakes.

9:08 he quite likes the car with the orange clocks. It looks modern and he isn't dissapointed.

9:44 people say that driving an old Ferrari is difficult but in 20 seconds I adapted myself to it.

9:58 were off with 320bhp. The box cracks a bit.

10:20 308; this car drives like a bike (positive comment, he means it's light).

10:44 348 I'm a bit disspointed by the car. I thought it would be more sportive, noisier, with more caracter but I think the car feels quite 'assisted".

11:10 when the 308 accelerates, my cabin fills with smoke.
308 driver: it's slow, but it's magical and makes a great noise.

12:00 458 with one click we have passed them all and noone is in our sight anymore.

12:12 348 when you push the brakes they feel quite hard and unassisted but it brakes very well indeed.

12:45 348 others: you can never let this guy drive a car, he always does these things with it. He will never change, he's worse than a kid.
348 driver: It does make donuts quite well. Finally I would say I really like the 348.

13:10 308 he thinks the 308 has aged quite badly. It's in a bad condition with sticky interior etc. He likes to drive it.

13:28 348 i don't think that any of our fast club members would have waged money that I'd like to drive the 348. I don't admire the car because the engine isn't omnipresent and on a track the chassis must be really bad but on the road, it's not bad (in a positive way).

PS the 458 belongs to the racing driver.

 

What a great vid....thanks Pete.....I wish I could speak French though

 

Racing driver is either joking or someone who knows more about driving cars than listening to them.
