    (1) Are those 360s mating?

    (2) That truck load of people is pretty hilarious until you realize they're probably refugees fleeing some sort of armed conflict, bummer.

    (3) That Bugatti is either being repossessed or stolen.

    @alexanderjames: Bugatti is on a typical Eastern European tow truck for parking violations. You rarely see this type of trucks involved in any other function (private tow trucks for transport and repair are usually flat-bed like). We call them "Spiders" for spider like grappling that can pick cars from any relatively inaccessible place they shouldn't be parked in. Also, signs in the background are in cyrillic supporting this scenario.

    @dusanmal: But it's on a "car pallet"(?) or something that they're going to use another crane to put somewhere special. Maybe a boat, or even the living room, if the front doors don't open wide enough for your car to get to watch TV.

    @alexanderjames: The guys that drive those "Land Ships" across the Namibian Desert are world-renown amongst Truck-Drivers all over the world as the "baddest of the bad".

    @Andrew: Thank you! This really helped me out on a pretty bad day.

    Take a looke at this guys site -


    [www.pbase.com]


    It was at the brian Redman Vintage Event in 2005 at Road America. Everybody was on the gas and racing before the Start/Finish line and they waved off the start. There's more cars in the wreck than you can see in this photo -

    and a lot of them are real - we race with 3 of the guys who lost cars in the melee.
