"Because I know there are kids out there, I want to make sure they all know that driving without braking is not something I recommend, unless you have professional clown training or a comedy background, as I do," the Post quoted him as saying. "It is not something I plan to make a habit of."

LOL

What was he expecting driving a 1967 Fiat, uh? I bet the car didn't had ceramic brakes (although I'm not sure of that)

Glad to hear he is okay. Since I like muscle cars I've driven a few 60's vintage cars with drum brakes, one pot master cylinders and 3500 pounds plus. Just add belted tires and wait for the disaster to happen - scary!

I know my cars pretty well, but what the heck is a FIAT BTM?

his "favorite car in his collection is a 1955 Porsche Spyder"

I'm amazed that you could roll a 1967 FIAT and NOT get hurt.

a 1967 Fiat 500...That thing weights about 500 pounds, if you flip it, just put your legs out of the roof opening and just carry it in your back and run like hell.

Reporter glitch of some kind. A BTM isn't a Fiat model.
