Post by: vRS Carl on April 30, 2011, 04:11:59 pm
Got a bit bored in work this afternoon so thought i'd have a bit of a mess about with iMovie and tell the story of what led to me ordering the Anthracite Assassin :pomppomp: :pomppomp:

Erm if you read it properly it is the Autobahn :confused:

A33 runs from Osnabruck to Paderborn.

Just so no-one is in any doubt you can check here

Either that or i was undertaking trucks and had a crash barrier on the inside :grin:


Oh and it was 162mph  :P

It does seem to be getting popular. It never really took off when introduced with the LE but then that could be something to do with the hideous wheels they stuck on. :sick:

I still don't see very many Athracite ones on the road. The few I have seen have had optional lighting packs  :wink:

Still like the CW octy with xenons and DRL's ala police response vehicles :grin: they look the shizzle.

Nice vid by the way Carl

the music in that video really reminds me of the dark knight film, love the bit at the end "now a new hero must rise" all it needs is cheesey hollywood commentary over the top et voila!
