Hey Fonfe,

how much bhp is that car pumping ? and is that fire out of the exhaust ??

You read about how during a trial bombing run a few years before the crash he cleared a ridgleine with less than 2 feet to spare? Just to show off to a TV crew who shat in their pants and stopped filiming thinking he will do something more stupid.

Yeah I heard the same..I dont know how true but heard that his co-pilot grabbed controls and pulled up when aircraft was almost touching the ground that time and reported the incident to squadron commander.Hate to insult dead aviators, but some deserve to die than living.

Sad part is there is a picture of the escape hatch iof the co-pilot just clearing the aircraft before it hits the griund. Now way he had time to complete the ejection with the size of the ensuing the fireball.

Guess its a numbers game whether on the ground or air, if you keep pushing the envelope, one day it will push back and you end up killing or dying or both.

Any links to this whole story? I've seen this crash but didn't know the background and details. Quick Google search didn't get me much.

I feel like being a cruel person this afternoon, so i'm gonna be the first to rip at Sandun Madhawa's wanna-be racer virginity.

1- Dude, if you know even the basics about cars you wouldnt be calling it a 1.3cc car. Its either 1.3ltr or 1300cc.

2- At 125km/h you WOULD have killed someone just as much as you would have killed someone at 126.

3- You can live in your car but can't race in your house eh? Let's see you take a dump in your car.

Ahh that felt good..
