If any of the UK rennlisters see this, please go have a "talk" with that guy....
That car seemed to be really nice, other than the purple paint job of course.

The link takes me to a video of some politician talking about troops in Iraq. Weak.

EDIT: I found the sub link. That's funny! Whatever, 944s are a dime a dozen. Let some get messed up, then they'll be rare, and worth more.

944s are so nimble and balanced, they always land on their feet, like felines.

Looks like the link changed. There is a search block below the video window, search for "Car Rollover Contest".

Pretty neat -- the 944 is the only car to get away even remotely drivable. Just a flat tire and that's all!

Maybe it's not displaying the search window cuz I'm on a mac. Guess I'll have to flip my own car to see what happens.

Try this link

It's painful! Though it might be fun to trash a car I really love. Kind of a viking funeral type thing.

nope. why the hell is it so hard to link a video off of MSNBC? Proabably because NBC is preceeded by MS.

he should be using steel rims and some heavy rated tires, then he could do that all day long haha! it is odd to choose a 944 for the job though.
