They tend to be bit like bouncy indeed, good grip at rough surface but not so good at tarmac

That evo one is a Jackie Chan film, either police cop (or similar) or could be the one where he forgets his name? Well... it's got Jackie Chan in it

He was cop, on vacation at Australia if I don't remember all wrong
I really like from Jackie Chan movies, not too complicated for my braincell and lot of funny things

Nice! Got me thinking about a 700 now...
Re Parking - I remember that film! Reminds me of this:
Driver is a Brit, he did an advert years back doing agressive skid parking on top of a multi story car park without barriers
(EDIT: zippy videos suck.. is it just me who get playback all chopped up?)

What a fool! That must've tickled a bit. I like the concern the cameraman has, a true professional, he never puts the camera down to help, thus missing anything!

Doing that without a seatbelt is asking for trouble, or in his case a broken right arm...
