I was watching a video on the link below for Nitro Circus and want to ask, if you had to go down the ramp seen in that,
in a car (rather than on a motorbike, or a BMX bike) and it was outdoors, rather than indoors as in the video,
what car would you want to drive on it and why.

A very thin car with extremely good brakes.

One of those dune buggy type things, definitely one that has a very sturdy roll cage...

Rising number one of Formula 1, Juan - Juan, one wonders should Juan only win one Formula 1 one year, would Juan have won that one in round one, Juan??

The P45.

To use my phone in the car I deleted all my German contacts, it's now Hans free.

It would keep all your bits in roughly the right place though. well, maybe not your arms.

I'd let Clarkson go first.

I'd take one of the big forklifts from work. Just have to make sure I have the seat on its softest setting.

You forks could puncture it, and you might die.......

Not if I them right at the top of the mast. Cornering might be a big dodgy.

As long as you've got the grip, you'd be fine....

The tires are bald and it didn't take much to get the back end to kick out, especially when loaded at the front, in the slight dusting of snow we had this morning. Still I think I had more grip than Button had all least season.

And at least you understood WHY you had no grip.

One with good enough brakes to stop at the bottom so I don't go over the ramp.
