Our English friends again
 

We have several times seen videos from the Top Gear show from BBC when they do stuff with cars.

Yesterdays show was another peak moment.

To test what will happen to a car in high sidewinds they lined up a British Airways 747 on full takeoff trust and drove to cars up behind it across the runway. They were about 300 feet behind the plane. I am sorry that I can't provide any videos, I am out of town at the moment.

The cars just were thrown away for several hundreds feet, rolling and trashing like they were a scrap of paper. Just amazing what a force there is behind four big jetengines!

It was just crazy ROFL :D

that would be a great video........we get very high winds here where i live........sometimes up to 100mph hotwheels of turborides

Here is a link to the BBC site where you can see what they did with a Toyota Pickup. And it was still running after the demolision!!

Yeah, I saw the Toyota show a long time back posted somewhere. That was a funny episode. So if you guys can find it, I would recommend taking a look. They put it through h*ll (can we say that), and it keeps on trucking.
