Interesting video.Especialy when you put it "on the map" to find out that you park, at the end of the video, somewhere in the begining of Reguliersgrackt,near that bank building... Am i right? Greetings from Greece anyway...
The strip of road in Amsterdam Noord, the part where all the roadwork is, this work is done because of the new Amsterdam Metro line "Noord Zuid lijn" which is supposed to be ready for use somewhere in 2011. It's one of the largest infrastructural projects in Amsterdam in many years..
@alyr315 lol there are als suv and big cars in europe too, only not as much as in usa, nobody will think crazy american if you drive a big car or anything like that, btw did you search the vid i was talking about?
@alyr315 So prices differ quite a bit within the US alone.. In The Netherlands, prices are usually no more than 10 cents off per liter, regardless of brand and region. Then again, it's just a small country. ;]
Hi Ken, You're very welcome. As to answer your question: I have the camera mounted on the dashboard. Well, not on the dashboard exactly. There's this little nut-hole on the bottom of the camera. I have a heavy piece of metal with a hole in the center, through which I mount the camera, so it has a steady and solid base to stand on. This contraption stands on the virtually water-levelled dashboard.
Hi Assgier, yes, the parts where nothing happens are just not all that interesting... Heck, if you want to see stills, just pause the clip for a bit.... lol ^^ So the choice of removing those parts was easy. XD Good to hear you enjoyed! CU 'round!
@alyr315 After seeing @SuddenDeath0 video of getting gas, I figured it was still at $2.40/ga but perhaps the price is different in your region of the US? Anyway, yeah, with flights as cheap as that there is little reason not to fly. However, aren't there any airport taxes added to those prices, bringing the total up another 100 to 200 bucks? I know in The Netherlands we have to take these kind of figures into account when booking a ticket. Though 99.9% are int'l flights here, of course.. :)
Toffe video, zo heb ik nederland ook eens fatsoenlijk kunnen bekijken. Kdenk erover om later ook zo'n vids te maken in belgië. Ik vermoed dat jij nederlander bent en daarom niet graag altijd ver in belgië in te rijden. swat, keep up te good work!
Ik heb nog een fors aantal videos van in zowel Nederland als België staan op miniDV tapejes. Helaas echter ontbreekt het me nog wat aan tijd om er weer nieuwen bij online te zetten, maar dat zal zeker wel gaan gebeuren. Ook werkt de 10-minuuts limiet van youtube natuurlijk niet echt mee, aangezien ik ook diverse videos heb die langer zijn dan 10 minuten. En van het in twee'en hakken wordt het er ook niet mooier op, dus dat voorkom ik liefst.. Dank voor het kijken ^^
@alyr315 Ah, I see. Yeah, America is confusing with their pricing. In Europe every store or establishment is required to post the amount including taxes of all sorts. Only two exceptions are hotels and the likes, where one or two percent is added for municipality tax and the other exception is airline companies, where airport taxes are added (which are up to 100 Euros mostly) but that last exception is under heavy fire so it may not last very long anymore.. :)
@alyr315 Well, you got a point there, but in The Netherlands the tax is, depending on the type of product, always the same in the entire country: 19% for luxury products and 6% for primary needs eg bread, water, vegetables and all kinds of food you still have to prepare yourself. Luxury food is priced at a high vat, eg candy, microwave meals, seasonal specialities and such.. I guess in the end it's just what you've gotten used to..
@alyr315 It's because we can actually handle our cars instead of swerving about all over the place. Look up the autobahn. If this scared you, then the autobahn will make you shit yourself
LoL my nabour has a ford f150 and i have driven it, the street in front of my house is actually smaller than the car so i have to drive 2 wheels on the curb 2 wheels on street. and why is Toyota RAV to big for londen i don't understand? it's definetely harder to drive a big car in europe than in usa that's for sure but most of the guys my age wants big car, the small cars are for girls lol. Sorry for the bad English
R U serious? widest highway in holland is 16 lanes, pretty much the same as highway 401, besides driving in europe is more difficult, because of the older road system, and weird crossings etc. Europe has more aggressive drivers, for example: if you want to merge in to a highway, dont expect people to slow down or change lanes for you, believe me i have driven in north america, if you drive like that in europe you get nowhere! in north america it's more relaxing to drive!
Nice movie, also saw that you cut out the standing-before-red-traffic-light parts ;)
Love the soundtrack too btw :D
It sure is! Great you enjoyed watching!
I've been to Belgium yesterday, where I shot some footage, so there'll be more drives later on this weekend ^^
Interesting freeway. Looks like it's relatively new?
Hi Mel,
thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed!

Very cool drive indeed! Super EuroBeat is the Bomb! \o/

Thanks for the great ride, CarnagerSDV. How do you keep your camera so steady in the car?

You made me sad with this comment now i can't stop crying. :(
Okay why the thumbs down? I'm just a clueless American! And no bad comments please. I was just being curious. And I'm only 13 btw.

@recepesek Yes it does, De ring is still property of Amsterdam.

I mean "...when I ''put it on the map''..."
