Reminds me of myself 20 years ago...well maybe about 100kph faster...I bet I could keep up with the guy pumping the fuel tho...

Amazing how that car stays on line while airborn. Fast, fast, fast.

I've always been impressed with how the top cars land.

Don't bet more than a nickle. True stroy:
A Finnish guy I do some bidness wif in Ontario who has had million hp street cars and crazy stuff, and now is building some wicked fast Xratty was home in Finland one winter along with a Canajian friend from Ontario.
Now Gene its some genetic thing that those canajians in Ontario and Quebec are fast on snow (Guys i beat by 26-28 minutes on gravel beat me like a drum on ICE! (snow was one thing---I did OK, but ice and they massacrated me to death---enough that a few came over to check if i was having problems).

So the Finn, Tomi is driving some shitbox rental car out in the boonies heading back to the fambly farm and he's booting it for all the rental thing is worth---which was enough to have his BORN-and-bred-in-snow Ontario buddy getting quite nervous... Tomi say "oi, headlights closing fast---better keep eyes peeled for a wide spot to let 'em by"

So he boots it more, buddy starts clawing the windows and doing Signs of the Cross till Tomi sees a wide spot where he whips into as the car passes him and pulls away.
As it passes they glance over and it was some Mom in a Volvo wagon---with 2 kids in the kiddie chairs...

Spanked 'em bad.

It's flat weird.
