MINI Complete Amazing Car Backflip In The French Alps
It’s been a month since MINI released its teaser trailer for its unassisted backflip and now, we can finally see how it goes… in the French Alps. You may have noticed that the scenery has changed a bit, but French rally driver Guerlain Chicherit’s stunt has got it almost 700,000 views already so it’s safe to say that nobody really cares about the change.
The Strangest Job Interview You Will Ever See
Job interviews are boring and for the most part, predictable. You dress formally, you tell the interviewer that you’re enthusiastic and hard-working and you show your passion in a controlled environment.

Freerunner Does Majestic Parkour Run In The Snow
Parkour videos are already stylish and well produced affairs, but it seems now that there’s so many of them out there, you need to have more than just amazing stunts to separate yourself from the rest.

Volkswagen Does It Again With Humourous Ski Mask Ad
Volkswagen is really on fire this year, following one brilliant campaign with another brilliant campaign.
