If they were hit by a meteorite, they'd take all the other vehicles with them :)

Nothing used to hear me up more when I was in the Battlebus - before DTM fixed it - of lifting then flooring the throttle, covering the car following too close behind in a cloud of soot.

I always used to chuckle ;D

Wasn't half as much fun after DTM made the Battlebus work properly, but was a damn site quicker ;D

A mate of mine bought 2 minis for £50 back when we were young, with the idea of making one good one. One was an 850 with rather poor piston rings. At one point, we were being tailgated by some tawt in a white convertible rolls royce. He dropped it down a cog and let it overrun for a second, then floored it and he disappeared in a plume of blue smoke. Kept his distance after that!
