Oh the tragedy!

Post by Calfskin »

I was at work the other day and I read this on the web. I thought I recognised it but I wasn't sure till I saw the other pics and I was right, it's one of Rene's twin brothers being driven off a bridge!

Shame, I could have used it for spares... LMAO

Unfortunately, the poor bloke was injured in the stunt :(.

RIP Rene, 1992 - 2006.
He was the best car I ever owned.

thats deffinatley the wrong approach to blowing up a BX!

Ironic than while the stunt driver was trying to kill the car, the car put up a valiant effort of putting its full force through its weakest structure (ie the roof), Car 1: Stunt driver 0!


So who wants to bet that they didnt realise the arse of a BX has no weight, and that LHM burns black as black?

In fact who thinks that the stunt team put charges at the rear to give i firey feel to the stunt and blew the link to the height corrector at just the same point as it started to leave the bridge resulting in the rear hydraulics 'leaping' sky ward and fliping the car over?

However the idea of an annual stunts show in a major city centr sounds like a fantastic idea to me!
