    Default Remote Control E34!!!

    This might be old hat for our UK owners but the fabulous Brit car show 'Top Gear' had a segment the other night where these university boffins had hooked up real cars to be used with remote controllers like the modelers use. They had a couple of crap cars but they had also done it to an E34 (No vid attachment-I searched but to no avail). It was really hard to watch them 'driving' it around a quarry before jumping it off a ramp into a caravan!!! I was appalled, my wife was in histerics...
    Cheers

    It did indeed -- SBS Monday nights at 7.30pm. Even though I have seen this season many times before, I still liked this episode.

    It's on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-Js78-hYc4

    Scary stuff! I went to a job where a car had collided with a tree. The engine was about 50 metres from the car. The car stopped dead (so did the driver...) but the engine kept travelling. He was obviously travelling at warp speed.

    Youtube downtime?
    Wow inconvenience please.

    I second the parts argument, let's send them a group e-mail expressing our remorese at the lost E34 and request a segment on us and our devout E34 following, or our feeling of loss that they crash our favorite car all of the time. :-D

    Seriously, if we got the UK, OZ, DE, and US community to Email them I'm sure they would respond somehow! :-D
