  • I just fell off my chair! Wow!

  • So ?

    What a waste of time, money and petrol.

    Next time us a pocket calculator to figure this out.

  • I'd expect top gear to do that on their track, not this looper pretending he's a plane

  • Wow

  • this 747 has been modified for the 007 Casino Royale movie

  • amazing!

  • its either an ex military or ex cargo plane. clearly its either a 1 or 2 series cos its got a small hump, the 3 n 4 series have a longer hump (by approx 10 meteres correct me if I'm wrong?) I'm guessing it might be an ex Lufthansa Cargo 747-200 or 100. Once again correct me if i'm wrong thats only my guess.

    IMPRESSIVE show from the Toureg. and if i was going to buy any airliner it wouldn't be a 747 it'd be an Airbus A350-900... more power, longer range and more classier than a 747.

  • your lawn mower would break under the force of over 10,000 pounds. the reason why that the touareg could hold all of that weight is that it had a very heavy and stiff unibody that results in an overall weight of 5,300 pounds

  • If you gear it down enough my lawn mower can pull that jet. It is pretty neat demo though.

  • If you gear it down enough, and put enough balast in it my rideing lawn mower can pull that same jet using a fan belt for linkage.

    Lets see it pull the jet at a real speed.
