How Many BBC Reporters Needed To Start a Car?

Comments Off


Lauren41980 was in the back seat of a BMW from Zip Car.

Not quite a Dirk Steinhardt rescue911.de ride-along!

From her narrative on YouTube:

David Willis and James Gordon, representing the BBC in LA and New York respectively, show us there’s more to learn about driving in America than simply staying on the right side of the road.

To be fair, there is a technique in gaining access to one of the car sharing vehicles, using a card access device or an iPhone.

It appears we are well into the effort, with the owner’s manual open and both journalists engaged in the start sequence.

(Rhett can insert snarly remark about non-firefighting journalists and their technical savvy here.)

How often do you change the oil?

4 comments

Ever since I posted the Google Street View picture of the toppled Netherland bicyclist, I have been checking out Jalopnik, an intense auto enthusiast website.

Wes Silver, Jalopnik’s Road Test Editor, recently participated in a unique motorhead marketing event that was mentioned in Forbes.com. Wes has not posted his experience, yet, but I found this stunning picture:

Reportedly from a BMW 328Ci. Go HERE for the rest of the pictures, information and commentary that Silver posted yesterday.
