What happens when you give an elephant a lift home?

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Some people do VERY strange things to their cars!
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

I had that happen on one of my Rebels. They don't half make trunnions from soft stuff these days. :|

Rich, try looking at the clip by natural daylight, that way, you stand a chance of seeing that the wheels do in fact rotate as you'd expect them to do. If you're trying to watch indoors by electric light, the frame rate of the clip matches the mains refresh rate closely enough to fool you into thinking that they're not moving. (50Hz vs an average 52fps). :)
