Vix's comedy rallying post reminded me of this gem. Total mayhem at Adenauer Forst in the 1970s :)

Ah, the 1970’s... when men were men and seatbelts were optional...

I pissed myself when that Hippy got chucked out. ;D Can't believe the convertible buggy Four up though. :shocked:
When i was a kid we never wore seat belts until my fave aunty went through the windscreen of a Commer van. :'(
When we went to see her in hospital they wouldn't let us kids on the ward, We stayed by the door & waved at my Auntie Marion whose face looked like Frankensteins as in those days the stitches were Huge. :(
Good vid though reminded me of GT Legends. :cool:

That's pretty amazing, I liked the way the guy got chucked out the Beetle then dusted himself off and got back in. Pretty good corner to hang around if you wanted to see a bit of action back in those days.

Things I've learnt about old cars from that video:

1) They fall over *really* easily.

2) People used to carry no end of crap in them.

Did anyone manage to count the number of pairs of flares?

It's still a good corner to watch at, but more because there's usually a decent amount of drifting rather than crashes.

My sig is actually from that corner - a couple of friends painted my name on the track on a trip I didn't make :)

I've seen a vid like this on OcUK before. I remember posting something about beatnicks in their flares righting all the rolled cars, and Lopez finding it amusing...
