That reminds me of a rally vid when a vw slid off into a crowd. It pancaked a couple people though.

It didn't look like he was going to make the corner anyway. He seemed to be going too fast.

The reason few were hurt is because the Mini is actually only a toy and doesn't weigh much. It was kind of like a Rock star jumping into the crowd. The just held the Mini up! :wink:

I don't know how no one in that crowd was seriously injured, I guess they managed to clear a path which you can't see so much from the camera angle.

I'm attributing that to the brakes being on the other side of the car at the time...

If you don't mind bent fenders, I bet three young guys could lift one side off the ground, but not hold it long enough for you to figure out "lefty - loosie." :lol: j/k I think Mini's are cool, but easy to make fun of. I actually like Mustangs too. I almost stroked out when my daughter traded her 01 Cobra convertible in on a Suburban. :x

There was a wild crash in F2 recently...

It's not easy to launch over two cars, do a complete barrel roll and then land on your wheels. The in car view from one of the cars he flew over is just crazy.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

Wow, looks like the guy was ready to keep right on going if his RF wheel had still been steering! He should be in rally...
