We've all heard it before: "I like a big old solid car with chrome bumpers and good, thick metal and plenty of car between me and anything I hit." Sounds reasonable at first (especially after it's repeated a million times) - or until knowledge of basic Physics kicks in - or until you see...

This kinda reminds me of those Kiwis who fitted WRX STi running gear to a quad bike. Must be frightening when the taps are opened right up! :eyebulge: The video's pretty good, too. From: http://www.fasterandfaster.net/2009/08/lazareth-wazuma-500bhp-bmw-v12-powered.html "French specials...
