We used to make these when I was a kid and great fun we had with them but nothing we made was anywhere near as hitech as these! Real big boys toys with no form of power at all, not even pedals and a chain, hence the Gravity Assisted Vehicle moniker they get today....................... PC or what? Imagine taking one of these down the Stelvio Pass. |

That looks like a whole heap of fun. Even better is the 1st one on the right - all the crashes. Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank. Give a man a bank and he can rob the world. |

"Pilot's Eye" view of one of the crashes here.......................... I think nobody realised the cam was running after the crash! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zivg5j_wt3s&NR=1 Now the FFRR has morphed into a 2012MY RREvoque Dynamic Lux Plus Auto SD4 Coupe in Fuji White with full ebony interior |

The crash pilot (Roy) is a local friend of mine and he has spent much time in plaster/bandages these last couple of years. It's not like he doesn't know about motorsport design safety as he regularly competes in proper rallying. Perhaps the idea of a roll cage is just too safety conscious for him so he prefers to throw himself down hills in a wooden box with pram wheels and no brakes on it!!! |
