I'll Pass On This

[daveake]

Well, I've done the Grimselpass in Switzerland, but on fewer wheels ...

YouTube Video

I'd love to have seen the face on the biker getting passed by this guy right at the end

Dave

[MeatGrl1]

Wow !!

Looks like alot of fun but I'd be too scared to do it !!

[~Helen~]

Oh my days! That would scare the cr*p outta me! Being the man in the vid or any of the other motorists for that matter...in fact if he passed me on the road I'd be looking suspiciously at whatever medication I had just taken!!

[mszee]

LOL

[The Flying Mouse]

Let me see, dangerous bends, and something that is apt to draw the attention of other drivers from the road.

Can anyone else see what the problem is with this?

A couple of seconds of misdirection at the wrong time and you've got a nice family sized can of people pate there

Asshole.

[Wario]

I can do that ...... but i don't wanna

Anyone else watching that and wishing there was a speedo on the screen, or is that just me?

To quote Stephen King in "The Body".....

"If you go out alone you’re a hero. Take somebody else with you and you’re dogpiss".


If he wants to kill himself, all power to him, but it's much more likely some poor sap is going to think what was that, look over their shoulder, and end up getting down the mountain a lot faster than originally planned


That driver might not be French.
It might be you, with your wife in the passenger seat and the kids in the back.


Great stunt, very impressive, but they should have got the road blocked off to do something that reckless.

Kinda tricky 'cos I have no kids, and the car I drove that pass in doesn't have back seats either

What, like killing people with passive smoking?

Dave

[The Flying Mouse]

Yes.

Or of course polluting the world with car exhausts causing melting ice caps and more harmful sun rays causing skin cancer.

I only get to poison people in the immediate vicinity (and if i'm outside i've got no chance) whereas an over enthusiastic autoist gets to poison the whole fricking world in one go

How about we just split the difference and say that that's off topic?

[Pudding]

There's been no evidence that anyone has been killed via a melting ice cap

I thought that, i was trying to see if i could guess the speed, but too difficult. x

While I imagine that skin cancer is a laugh riot

DING infraction points for continued off-topic-ness do not pass GO do not collect $200 ...

Dave

[Pudding]

There's no real credible evidence that car exhausts alone cause global warming.

Since methane is one of the main culprits of greenhouse gas emmisions, livestock (cows, sheep, pigs, horses etc) are responsible for around 18% of emmissions and all transportation around 13.5% (that's a scientific fact) then we should kill all cows to stop them farting rather than take cars of the roads. And since humans breathe and fart more than cows and live longer, humans contribution is even higher than a cows.

So to blame car exhausts emissions on global warming that causes skin cancer is ridiculous. What causes skin cancer is idiots who stay out in the sun too long and don't wear enough protection. This isn't a recent phenomenon that only started since the invention of the motorcar but something that's been going on since the dawn of time.

I could prattle on about the electromagnetic field and how that's changing, which inturn is affecting climate change reducing our protection against harmful suns rays, but I won't.

Yes cars stink and might be bad for the environment but so is a quarter pounder from McDonalds and I haven't heard anyone say a McDonalds causes skin cancer.

I am not even going to add anything about biggest polluters being recycling plants...

[Pudding]

It will boggle the mind to think how un-green these so-called green hybrid cars are.

I heard that too but I don't remember what it's about...

I actually drive one...49.5 miles per gallon...yeah, I am polluting...but I hope a bit less than those huge big ass SUV's that take about 1 mile per gallon...
