A mere snapped throttle cable was not going to hold this road warrior back... I mean, sitting on top of the engine operating the throttle while your navigator drives does not make perfect sense to you?
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
ReplyDeleteGreat find, thanks for posting it!
That was just brilliant!! Thanks for posting that awesome link!
ReplyDeleteI glued my eyes to the screen and overcooked the pasta but it was totally worth it :-) Incredible determination.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a story I heard years ago about a woman despatched to the front trunk/boot of the rear engined Skoda 120 by her husband to take care of a loose wipers contact in the pouring rain.
Kristian ....as an Italian, I feel your pain. My apologies for causing the unspeakable horror of limp noodles! :o)
ReplyDeletethat was off the charts amazing!
ReplyDeletethat was awesome i really liked the part where the co-pilot gets back in the car and straps in while the driver is in the engine bay hanging on!
ReplyDeleteAre the noodles ok?
ReplyDeleteSarrians near Carpentras :-)
ReplyDeleteVive les Provençaux!
My God that was full of WIN. It also got a greenlight on Fark, so expect a lot of traffic.
ReplyDeleteWould they be disqualified? I mean, the rules require full roll cage, helmets, nomex, six point harnesses, full integrated fire extinguisher system and there he is, in the engine bay, while driving on a live course.
ReplyDelete:O
Ya can't win if ya don't finish...
ReplyDeletepardon my ignorance, What does a green light on Fark mean?
ReplyDeleteWe're Farked?
Greenlighted on Fark means that this page is linked from Fark.com, specifically on http://www.fark.com/sports/
ReplyDeletewow, behold the power of FARK I guess :O)
ReplyDeleteBTW....anyone notice the green plastic frog glued to the hood?
ReplyDeletePASSION! ....
ReplyDeleteOscar
This Car stunt is epic on so many levels. Love it. Yea, the green frog was legendary
ReplyDeleteum... why didn't they just use a string or something attached to the throttle, then run it under the hood and into the window... i've done it before and so has a friend... much easier...
ReplyDeleteI think thats the most dangerous thing Ive ever seen.
ReplyDeleteIncredibly stupid, that guy should be disqualified from motorsport for life.
ReplyDeleteWhy...it was only for a few hundred yards...he should get the McGuyver award!
ReplyDeletethat is awesome, ingenious
ReplyDeleteScrew Fark, you guys made it to Bannination.com, the anti-fark.
ReplyDeletededication...yes.
ReplyDeletestupidity...yes.
not something i would try though, we all know what can happen during a race. luckily there was no wreck, that would have been interesting.
but good job and keep racing!!!
Just goes to show that sometimes there is a very fine line between candidates for the MacGuyver Awards and for the Darwin Awards.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! That's what you call determination! I did not see that one coming!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was funny that the driver took the time to buckle up his seat belt.
ReplyDeletedetermination? more like stupidity. probably 2 low life mechanics who have no brains to figure out what they're doing.
ReplyDeletenow that is funy
ReplyDeletestupifyingly dangerous. I would never do it, but WOW! Awsome show of determination!
ReplyDeleteThat is nuts. I love it. That should be some new type of racing for sure.
ReplyDeleteAC, do you know by change the names of the drivers in the following pic, because I would like to find out more about it.
