Default How not to drive your Mondeo video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ8DIn7CC3g

That was the guys second run at 120Mph

Engine cover in a million pieces, metal boost pipe scraped (not burst), various flat bits of metal scraped and sump bashed in. I have done a temp fix of the sump so it isn't leaking now but it will eventually need replacing because I doubt I'll get the sump plug off.

A guy in an Integra died doing that in France (I think) a couple of years back - his mates were filming it and his family released the video to try and deter others. Obviously didn't work with this guy

Obviously I only want to see it to deter me from doing anything similar, and not to look at dead bodies or owt

Surely if the nose of your car doesen't lift off straight you will end up in the grass? Or land sideways and roll?

Would be interesting to see, what the landing has done to the chassis. Could be seriously bent, IMO.

I can already see the car advertised...

one careful owner...

The car gets driven like that all day long and no problems so far, although the wheels did dig into the arches when it landed
