    Unfortunately, quite believable. Funny though :)

    Very funny - why didn't they at least try and dig away the snow behind the car first though?!

    i saw a transit tipper lorry towing a citroen with a solid link chain of quite some length. the complete lack of stretch in the chain caused the car to jolt forward and chain to go slack, repeat until something breaks. luckily for them it was the towing eye that burst open, im sure they were only a whisker from pulling the front end off in the middle of the road. Tow ropes are made to stretch.

    Grandad did a similar thing with a tree stump and a Ford Capri. Put it this way, the tree stump was fine.

    Why did not they go forwards, or is that too simple.

    Too sensible I'm spoiling this thread aren't I.

    Oh they are blessed with brains, just never had the opportunity to develop. Not wanting to stereotype...............................oh go on then:-

    Young,
    Male,
    Fancy motor,
    Big powerful motor,
    Opportunity to show off

    As a non believer, I can understand why those of a religious disposition believe that natural selection does not work!

    There was one from last year where a car was sliding down an icy hill (possibly somewhere in Dorset/Devon/Cornwall, that part of the world) and the 2 people in the car jumped out and slid along the ground, rather than staying in the car(and the car ran one of them over I think!). I don't know what makes these people think that what they're doing is a good idea! :? I'm sure it's on Youtube.
