Is it to wrap the 3dr up in after I sell it you tomorrow so it dont get damaged when you lose the back end due to the awesome power of the 1.6pinto tearing thru the 4speeder

Go down the wearhouse, post room, cotteral court, round from your office, theyl have shitloads of the crap mate, surely?

By one of the huge rolls, and then when you still have 45 foot of it left, stick a crash helmet on and then wrap youself up in it from the waste up and jump off random objects landing on your upper body on purpose (arms strapped to the side)

Just grab hold of one end with your hands by your side and keep turning till its all off the roll

Will randomly come undone of course, but that just adds to the fun.
Avoid naked flames though
