Cool visuals, but it's like listening to a joke spoken in another language, that you can't understand.

Renault Clio
The best for weekend getaways, going shopping, taking kids to school, going to the movies, driving in the city, going to work, going out with friends...

Renault Clio, the best for real life

@ moparbad:

Mirage 2000, although with different intakes.

Actually, the jet is a Saab J35 "Drakken".

Actually, i think thats a SAAB S35 "DRAKEN" (Dragon in swedish). "S" stands for "Spaning" (recon) and if you look at the planes lower front end you can see a boxlike shape. Behind that box there is a camera. The "Draken" was taken out of service in the swedish armed forces some 10-12 years ago. It went under the nickname "strykjÀrnet" (the iron). A damn good airplane in its days and the frontline defence against the Sovjets during the cold war. Top speed around mach 2, and armed with robot 24 better known as sidewinder.
It has been used in movies like "Fire Birds" (http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0099575/) where it plays the bad guy.
