I'm sure this has been posted plenty of times, but it's always a good show.

oh, how mushy -- I was hoping as it is a you-tube video that the end would have been altered in the way I had hoped . . . :shock:

first time I saw it, it wasn't with "the View" part. I thought it was going to be a "look at this idiot thinking that lion will still be tame" kind of video.

Cucumber Sandwiches

a friend sent me this video; it made me think of my overseas friends; so I found it on the tube and linked it for you -- do they really show this stuff on the tele? :shock:

edit: the tube referred me to THIS ONE which is equally as funny . . . :oops:

Not funny, or even cool :shock: but did anyone see this ?
And to think we are worried about the strength of the A pillars :evil:

Would have been much better if they had also rolled a similar model hatch under the same conditions :?

Yep seen that and thought the TG test was crapO, i mean what the hell do you thinks going to happen if you launch it of a ramp and have no seat belts on :roll:

But as we all know the Elan A pillars do not support the car :twisted: hence why i have roll hoops :D

Did they think nobody would notice that the test was designed for shock value? Use a Hollywood ramp? Right, let's use a ramp that's specially designed to make the most gnarly, shocking, exciting crash possible. That'll be a fair test. Right.

any car would need a full roll cage to properly survive that -- hence the reason stunt drivers put them into the car before they do those stunts for movies, etc . . .

I agree with all they said in the clip though.
