I guess that someone either did the math wrong or the target speed was not met, or there was wind that factored in? Perhaps they should have consulted with Evil Knivel to really crash with out style or grace?

The driver's compartment was REALLY reinforced! I don't think your OEM Mini would fare so well.

At 91 years of age, this well spoken humble hero talks at 70th anniversary of Iwo Jima last month. Great monolog of a WWII fighter pilot that flew the last combat mission over Japan. His wingman was the uncle of Scarlet Johansson.

Ask yourself, how many of the few surviving WWII veterans kept themselves and their uniform in such good condition for over 70 years and can still proudly wear it? Notice his superb delivery, no teleprompter, no script -- just a 91-year-old fighter pilot representing the greatest generation at home and abroad who won WWII. He has some surprises and a great take on the philosophy of life. Enjoy!

I am having Deja Vu all over again. I liked it the first time that I posted it on 17 Apr 15. But, he was worth watching again.

In appreciation of Memorial Day and the efforts of the Allied Forces during WWII…”The Reunion of the Giants”. A great video:

I think that this VIDEO is really COOL. As the old saying goes, it is as easy as riding a bicycle, once one learns how. Well, this video disproves that theory, to some extent. More like, one cannot teach an old dog new tricks.

IMO: There is a lesson to be learned from this experiment.
