Hello not sure what he was thinking, but hate to see the damage he caused to that nice TR6.

I was on pins and needles 'til I heard the "I'm okay!" at the end.

I love a good ending to a movie. (shoot, we need a popcorn emoticon  :D)

I don't like to see how good is a roll bar, only to be there and to be good.

Ugly, wasn't it? The Sports Racer style car is an aero dependent flat bottom car. When he was squeezed between the TR6 and whatever the car on the right is, the center car's fenders probably were pushed in far enough that its tire started crawling up the sides of the outside cars. The chin of the center car caught air, and it was launch time !!!! Like THIS -------------

Yeah, I've seen that Merc several times. Isn't that car the reason why the straightaway at Le Mans in no longer a straightaway?

And why MB pulled out of "racing" except for "sedan" racing. But even THAT has changed now that they have bought out Brawn GP.
