    Bloody hell! Why they don't just go the whole hog and cut off the wings and put wheels on the aircraft? I mean it's obvious those guys want to be rally drivers. Cool vid BTW.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I liked the way one of them had his map out and was studying it whilst going at that speed.

    Cool. The only reason I can think of for the map is to ensure that there are no increase in the land height or for upcoming dips. Also, he adjusted something every so often on his dashboard (for lack of a better word).

    Can you imagine the conversation with the backseater?

    "Hey, Pierre, what was that last signpost we passed?"
    "I don't know, I blinked and I missed it. Damnit Claude. I told you we should pull over and ask for directions. Look, there's a guy with a camel up there, why don't we ask him?"
