Now this bloke must be a wanted driver by every bank gang everywhere!

Ever since I saw the specs on those little powered skateboards that Disney builds (recognizing the car it didn't surprise me to see it was a Universal Studio program) I have wanted one.  All wheel drive, braking that is controllable and selectable, zero weight and a hopped up motorcycle engine and tranny.  What's not to love?
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

Notice how many times they did a couple of the scenes?  That's cool.
When seconds mean the difference between life and death, the police will be minutes away.

You are either SOLVING the problem, or you ARE the problem.

Amazing driving...and control....what a driver and what a car.

I used to do four wheel drifts regularly, but the 3 pass "turn around a point" is more like pilots license training.....

Did any one else notice the car went through a brick wall sideways with out damaging the paint, let alone denting the body work ?
Skip the "Feista", I want that Segway that goes straight up !

Noticed the wall and was impressed how realistically the fake bricks and wood "bounced" on the ground

twyacht, they made the Pinto in the early 70's.  I had one with the 2000cc motor.  Back then you could drive 85 without getting in much trouble.  I used to drive from Akron to Columbus a couple Sats. a month.  85 most of the way and if I needed more  it was there!  Damn, I love that car.

FWIW

The Fiesta's I remember, couldn't hit 85 going down a cliff...

Pinto's?

At least they had potential:

The reason they went that fast was so you didn't get rear ended. ;)
