The 3 men should stand on a turntable, duct taped together, with barf bags around their necks....just to add to the endurance and adrenalin rush. Mitigates the inevitable moronic image portrayed too....somewhat. I recommend awarding extra points for nailing your opponent's assistant in the melon with your plane as well. I can imagine the problem these athletes have with fatal attraction groupies!

Except for 10 seconds of the blond in the jeans, I just wasted 5 minutes of my life.

And it looks like some other activities that are probably also popular in Europe.

The well fit hard hatted hottie was the only aspect of this otherwise ridiculous spectical that could come even close to being OK. Even then, the horrible noise and scenes more commonly witnessed at Haight/Ashbury in the 1970s was just grating.

It's going to take me weeks now to reprogram this crap outta my head, so thanks for posting - well done.

This was very popular in the UK. You have Identical models with the same displacement engines.

2.5cc (.15 ci) is one class, 3.5cc (.201ci) is another.

It combines speed, power, fuel economy and includes pit stops.

It's fairly complicated but these guys are serious.

You've jogged some motorsport memories with this one, John.

At one time I traveled with friends to watch track racing held by the MG Car Club in a pleasantly rural setting they named, Manfield. Mostly the cars were too underpowered and the track too challenging for there to be any excitement. In addition to falling asleep in the hot sun, one of the ways I enjoyed coping with the tedium was watching farm girls eat corn dogs.

Great looking little cars, Joop. I found some on Hemmings.
