DrP Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Awesome - they are looking a lot more viable... Quick search suggested they had one crash, but the safety systems worked a treat and deployed the parachute, saving the pilot. The car was damaged but they hailed it as a success as the chute worked. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice. Yes it is. Are you ancient enough to remember the film? This was pie-in-the-sky stuff when that was made.

swansont Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Yes it is. Are you ancient enough to remember the film? This was pie-in-the-sky stuff when that was made. The crash would be an instance of the ashes of disaster leading to the roses of success. It's the posh, posh traveling life, traveling life for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
