Here at CarSite.co.uk, we love videos of car chases.

We especially love videos of car chases when they're miniaturised and done on the cheap. Sure, it's great seeing hundreds of real, full-size cars being blown up in a multi-million dollar Hollywood blockbuster; however, there's something inherently satisfying about watching a couple of radio-controlled cars battling it out in 1:18 scale.

But a new video from Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, the American stop-motion animation studio behind the popular Cartoon Network show Robot Chicken, takes the idea of a miniature car chase to new levels.

The video uses Micro Machines, tiny toy cars which by comparison make even Matchbox cars look massive. The video was shot almost entirely by camera, which must have taken absolutely yonks when you consider the amount of attention to detail which must have gone into each frame.

The film also features a healthy amount of stop-motion gore. Think Quentin Tarantino meets Wallace and Gromit.
