How NOT to test drive a Jaguar S-Type R

Right click and save as. If you click the link directly it takes you to the main site that is NWS

Might not work with Mozilla/firefox. If you dl it with one of those you get a 4k .html file, with IE you get the full movie. My guess is the site reroutes external requests for files by sending you the main page instead. It probably checks this by looking at the html request and checking what the page you were on when you clicked the link was. IE probably doesn't send the current page when requesting files, but firefox might.

That's just my theory, I can do a packet capture to verify it if people are really interested....

I don't think insurance will cover that.........hahahahaha dumb sucker

if that was a test drive I think I would get out and run like hell.

Just like a cat to land squarely back on it's legs.

And this is why we don't early apex, kids. :rofl:

It sounds like Paul is more interested in the link routing rather than the video. :)

Paul, if I go to Mines... I won't be like that will I???

I can't promise anything.... but I was a lot like this before college (just minus the Labjack shirts)

what fucking idiots! they weren't even wearing a helmet.

Yeah, the lack of safety gear is kind of interesting. He has no helmet or roll cage, but he has a fire suit... that's not going to do him much good when his face gets burnt off or smashed into something hard.

If you go to Mines, there is no hope...

Oh and find a hot girl before you come in, or else you'll have to drive all over to find one.

And the driver looks like a pro (well at least he's got a cool suit), but I think he wanted to apex in the grass or something with how early he turned.

[Weston]

He has the pro looking firesuit on, but no common-sense gear such as a helmet, and the passenger comes off as being the more experienced and calm one.

I find it very hard to believe that a pro would have done that or anything resembling that. He really fucked up on the driving... it was totally newb style. Apexing a little too early and going in a little too fast can happen to anyone, but he did both by a lot, and then fucked it up much worse.

He got into understeer, realized that the car wasn't turning enough, so he starts cranking the wheel like crazy. That's the worst thing he could have done. Not only did that make the understeer much worse, but it also caused him to go airborne when he went into the dirt. Anyone with any real experience would have turned the wheel back the other way until the front tires regained grip, then he wouldn't have gone off course nearly as badly (if at all) and he most likely wouldn't have caught air. It wouldn't have been a wonderful execution of the turn, but it could have been saved.

What's interesting is how many cameras he had on him. I want to know the story behind that. I suspect that this was staged and he's some sort of crash test dummy that doesn't value his life.
