Excellent. Reminds me of my driving test hehehehe

He was the guy who did the advert on the top of the multistory car park without any barriers wasn't he - anyone remember that one?

Don't think this is the one you mean, but this is one of his adverts (and it rocks :D)

Yeah that was in a BMW ad was it not Ronnie the one with no barriers on the roof, very impressive for sure?!

Those videos are fantastic, the 240 was interesting for sure. Odd as it seems to most, but for a job like that it was probably better for the job, being a longer wheel base and heavier than some small car, more swing into the space and weight to carry the slide in.

I've learned a lot about my T5 recently, a lot of it comes down to knowing the car and making it an extension of your body and senses, being in control and feeling what it is doing.

Awesome videos anyway, I'll have a search for his autocross ones one day, if I ever find time.
