Not sure if this has been posted before, but a friend just emailed me it and I thought it was too good not to pass on to you chaps.

OMG there are so many stand out pieces of insanity here, the guy sliding behind his upturned car at 3mins, a car rolling 3/4 times and the guy climbing out of the windscreen after the spectators rolled it back over.

Personally, I was glad to see that despite a few Porsches 911 and 914 losing it big time none rolled, unlike all the beetles and how the convertible bug didn't roll I'll never know

An yway, an entertaining 7 mins

Enjoy and Merry Chrimble
 
Merry Christmas to you too [:)]. Glad I drive cars now and not those 70's death traps, its amazing how easily many of those cars flipped over.

You beat me to it. Notice how all the Porsches stayed on four wheels...yeeah.

I was praying for the Beetle cab full of hippies, it was the only one not to roll more or less!
 
I cant watch on this Mac, so: is this the compilation filmed at Adenauer Forest? If so Ive seen it before - seeing the fellow who fell out of his own door when the body flexed and allowed it to open was shocking.
 
Thats the one!

Great 7 mins!

Anybody notice how all the rollers seen to be swing axle rear ends - 850 Coupe, Beetles, R8s, Wartbergs etc

Just need a GT6 and Spitfire to complete the set!

Yes, its a PowerPC eMac on 10.4. It really struggles with Flash video now, but I keep it for simple browsing because it looks nice... (and its a bit of a curiosity to a PC engineer) [:D]

So it's a proper Mac..... before they went to Int*l CPUs and started offering Mac enthusiasts Windoze on a Mac....[:'(]

Mmmmmmm....... Retro computers...... I still have my old C64 and Amiga from the 80's [:)]
 
Or to be more accurate the modern ones are designer PC's running an Apple operating system [;)].

Typed on my MacBook to prove I have no anti-apple axe to grind [:D].
 
Frightening.... a couple of other observations...

- the Fuchs looked fantastic on the Porsches
- some of the occupants looked unusually tall! Or is this just an illusion due to the small cars and exacerbated by those trousers?
 
I just liked the fact that the supposedly death trap old 911's where the only cars not to flip over or generally crash off in an uncontrollable nightmare [:)]

LOL that is exactly what i thought mate, there all look 7ft tall.
 
that beetle cab with the four people in it gave me the shivers! Amazing to see how tough the frame of the beetle is compared to other cars of that age though. They barely even dent where others look as if they are made out of paper when they roll.
