[V8] Audi going up ski ramp

Fri Jan 27 10:51:44 EST 2006

Don't know where I read that it was an UrQ in that ad, must have been a different one, it clearly says the old one was a red Audi 100 CS quattro 

Also, I've changed my mind after looking at the photos.  I wouldn't do that with 10 cables on the car :)

That's freaking nuts.  I have a new respect for Eddie the Eagle. 

I like the calculation that the car would be doing 110km/hr at the base of the jump if it slipped backwards...
