Wifey downed a fruit smoothie just before getting into my GT3 RS for a run on the autocross course, running on A6s. Came through the lights 75 seconds later and she bolted from the car before I could even get back to the grid. She was OK, close call.

He had to be going pretty fast to make 4300 pounds come up off the road. Great video.

I think that was one of the first test drives of a SL55 in 2002.
