Great car control. You could see from the in-car shots, his relaxed attitude says he's at one with his machine.

Yeah nice skillz.

But did it look like he ripped off part of a tyre when he was in the donut pad? Against that angled wall.

Swear he would have had a deflated tyre after that! If he didn't, it would have been very lucky.
The video lies tho. I just wish these guys would say that there was 2 go's at this and admit their mistakes, hehe.

Just before impact



On Impact




A little while later, all fixed in the same video, ahahahaha.
Yeah right!

he should get more back wrecking it than insurance. All you need is a new shell. Whole driveline should fit into most 70's-80's x-series.

understand where your coming from, however if u had insurance on something like that it would be agreed value and you would have buy back option. why wouldnt you buy it back and then transfer all your stuff into something different? methinks he has no insurance...

true. He probably thought it would be too much hassle to swap everything over and decided to cut his losses. Either way, one man's pain is another mans gain
