Was that Kim with the cap turned around? I don't know how he could drive bouncing around in the seat like that! I think I would have preferred real seat belts and harness rather than a street set.

Having said that, it looks like a blast!

Anyone else see his interview with the NZ reporter? It was ~27 minutes long, but very interesting.

While I'm not giving the guy a free pass, he does bring up some good points about Google, YouTube, etc... Somehow they do the same thing but don't get smacked?

This video is amazing, and probably the best Nurburging video we've seen.

Kim Dotcom is such a ridiculous character, it's difficult to believe he's real sometimes. This whole video is like watching a replay in Gran Turismo or Forza or something.

Either way, we linked it to the front page. Good find silvermamba.
