Jamboolio's Plans for 2015

How's it going you car nutters!

I thought I'd talk a little bit about some of the plans I've made for this year, concerning filming some awesome Muscle Cars, Supercars and Hypercars.

So if I get straight to business, there will be the usual 'Helsinki Cruising Night' monthly events with many many many amazing American muscle cars and classics. Also many other cruising events and meets throughout the year are marked in the calender, so that means once again filming some of the loudest and cleanest V8 monsters, old and new, plus burnouts and such.

Last years first bigger trip was to the great Geneva Motor Show, but I'll skip that one this year. Still gonna have my eyes on supercars though, as I'll head instead early in the spring to Marbella, SpainPuerto Banús to be precise.

And the main theme of that trip, along with filming some amazing supercars and hypercars, which there are a lot as I understand, is to go out and spot that one and only Lamborghini Aventador J (oh and there really is only one of them in existence!!), which belongs to this ultra rich Lamborghini collector who lives, yes you guessed it, in Marbella!

Okay so after that it's great to check out again some muscle car events, which there really are a lot here in Finland, but also one of my favorite events of the summer is a standing mile run track event with both supercars and muscle cars, which is held twice a year.

One of the biggest trips in 2015 will be the one to Cannes and Monaco in May. Two and a half weeks time there will include Cannes Film Festival, Monaco F1 Grand Prix weekend, huge stars and celebrities, and naturally epic supercars and hypercars to spot.

The only downside is that I'm gonna have to skip the start of the Gumball 3000 rally, which will take place in Stockholm, Sweden the same time I'm at the French Rivera, but I'm pretty sure it'll be worth it (just check out the videos from last year below), even though I think the Gumball rally is awesome.

Lastly I wanna talk about my plan (and this is at the moment just a plan, nothing's sure yet) how it would be great to end the year 2015.
A friend of Jamboolio's who happens to own the SIX-5 Corvette (the fastest C2 Corvette in the world, which has been mentioned in this blog before) is taking that very same 200mph Corvette to the USA in the fall for the famous Texas Mile Run (and other events too).

The idea is that I would be filming some of the SIX-5 Vette's adventures in the US, but also other amazing cars and things at the Texas Mile, the SEMA Show, check out the carscene in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and a lot more!
But as I said nothing is certain about this US trip yet, but we'll see...



All these events and trips mentioned here are just a fraction of places where I will be filming all new carvideos this year, so hope you'll stay tuned, as there will be tons of new footage coming to my Youtube Channel, photos to this blog and Facebook, and so much more. So in another words I think the year 2015 is going to be a pretty good one!

Yet another ride in a +1000 HP Chevy Corvette!


I've seen and filmed a bunch of awesome high power custom-built Chevy Corvettes this year, like the SIX-5, the fastest street legal C2 Corvette in the world, +200mph classic that I got to experience onboard on a track, and there's a few other Corvettes as well.
But the Corvette I wanna talk about now is this supercharged C5 that I got the chance to film exclusively here in Finland.


The beast in question is yet another crazy track machine producing over 1000 HP, plus it also has a NOS kit (Nitrous Oxide System) installed as well.
This car lets you know it means business just the way it sounds. It's got a loud Borla Exhaust system fitted in, and there's the supercharger whine, and with that shiny orange paint and a few decals on the exterior it sure won't go unnoticed!
The owner is a very nice guy, and he took me on a little spin around town with the car, and man you really don't need to be on a highway or on a track to feel all that power that V8 engine produces! Just a gentle push on the pedal and you feel things in your stomach, and when you add all the loud sounds this car makes, to drive it just around a block or two is enough to be an amazing experience!


You can hear the loud V8 sounds this car makes, check out the onboard ride and see more specs about this car in the video below or at the JAMBOOLIO Youtube Channel, thanks!

I wanna thank TOMAS, the owner of this Chevrolet Corvette C5, it's awesome!

Here's also the onboard ride in the SIX-5 C2 Corvette I mentioned earlier, check it out!

Carspotting Through a Lens...

Hey ya'll, how's it going? Haven't posted any car stuff in a while on this blog (whole different story with the carvideos, check 'em out HERE) so I had an idea, that since I'm not on Instagram (yeah that's right) but I often snap a photo or two of the SUPERCARS and/or MUSCLE CARS that I spot, with these pics I'd show (some) of the coolest cars of recent months that I've come across...

Sound any good? Well anyways, here goes...

Camera I use for photos is the brilliant Sony NEX-5N with a few E-Mount lenses, I mostly shoot with a SEL35F18 and SEL1855 (sometimes I have to snap a photo in a hurry, I use my videocam, the Sony PJ780, like with this Charger pic below)

The world's fastest C2 Corvette: SIX-5

Last weekend at the 'Unlimited Racing' event in Lappeenranta Finland, I had the amazing opportunity to film the world's fastest C2 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray (1965) up close, and not only that, I got to experience the power and speed of this amazing muscle car classic as a passenger on a high speed run on track!


This stunning car has clocked 200+ mph ( 322 km/h ) on a standing mile run (7.6.2014 Lappeenranta, Finland) making it the worlds fastest street legal C2 Corvette. Pretty epic speed for an almost 50 year old automobile!
The custom built Small Block 400cid 6.5L V8 engine produces 1000+ HP with the NOS kit (Nitrous Oxide System).


Here's a small teaser clip of the upcoming videos that will include a high speed onboard ride on track, engine startups and brutal V8 and exhaust sound, huge revs, overview of the car and its engine bay, GoPro track footage and much much more.

Video: PREVIEW: World's Fastest C2 Corvette | +1000 HP | Video(s) coming soon! |

Four LaFerrari's in one week!

Just spent two weeks in the French Riviera, Monaco and Cannes to be precise, spotting supercars, hypercars, even muscle cars, and getting a lot of awesome footage filmed for my Youtube Channel.
One of the most craziest car related things on this trip was that within one weeks time I had spotted (and filmed) FOUR (4!!) different Ferrari LaFerrari hybrid hypercars.
That's a pretty good number since only 499 units will be ever built with an over €1 million price tag!
All cars I saw were Rosso Corsa red, all were registered to different countries, and all were just mighty awesome!

LaFerrari parked next to Ferrari 458 Speciale at the Monaco Casino Square

As you propably know, LaFerrari is the most powerful Ferrari roadcar ever with its 6.3-litre V12 engine + electric drive producing 963 HP and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque. Top speed is over 350 km/h (217 mph), and 100 km/h (62 mph) is reached in under three seconds.

Rear

All LaFerrari's I encountered were Rosso Corsa red, two had silver OEM rims, two with all black OEM rims. The cars were registered to Monaco, France, Luxembourg and Andorra.

Stunning LaFerrari

Within two weeks time in the Riviera and after seeing four LaFerraris, EnzoKoenigsegg Agera R, Pagani Huayra and Zonda, and tons of other supercars, didn't see not even one McLaren P1 nor Porsche 918, whatever that means... ;)

BMW i8 - exclusive material!

Just got back from my two weeks filming / carspotting trip to Cannes & Monaco. Saw so many amazing cars; four (4!!!) LaFerrari's, muscle cars, exotics, hypercars, supercars and much more!


One of the pretty special ones I saw was the brand new BMW i8 plug-in hybrid sports car / supercar, which BMW brought to show it off to some special customers at the Cannes Film Festival and in Monaco during the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend.

Here's a few photos of this stunning new automobile, with an exclusive video of the i8 driving for the first time on public streets, enjoy!
