  • This was really cool to watch!

    2:33 - offroad excursion

    3:41 - getting slideways!

    5:34 - drops 2 wheels

    7:23 - must not have an overflow tank?

  • One of THE best YouTube clips! That gruesome yellow 240Z accelerating by at 1:48 is highly amusing...and the way he "flips-the-bird!" HAR-de-har-har!

  • a little curiosity, what speed did u get on the straight? seems pretty damn fast

  • excellent stuff man, and props to you for driving it like the race car it is :)

  • Racing suit/helmet or not, I wouldn't drive that deathtrap without a freaking lap belt at the very least. o_O

  • This is Cpt. Slow :D

  • Wow, there are a lot of amazing cars out there, and of course this is pretty amazing as well.

  • Fantastic. I watched this car in action at Teretonga NZ a couple of years ago, and also at a vintage rally in Invercargill. It accelerated out of Queens Park, tail wagging, and making a noise designed to frighten small children and old ladies. Anne drives the pants off this thing. Many thanks for bringing it south.

  • @GrantCCampbell I envy your experience!

  • Yes, I had the absolute privilege of going for a ride in this car with Anne at the Grand Prix a week later. I knew these were the sort of cars people died in!

    I thought Anne was fantastic just having the car there, let alone actually driving it, and driving it the way she did - a real hero! Thanks Anne.
