I apologize if this is old (video is from may 15 I believe.) but I thought other new people might enjoy this.

Guy parallel parks the heck out of a mini.

Yeah, an oldie but a goodie. I've always wondered how many cars this guy hit before he got it right. Even if he did practice with cones, somewhere along the way he MUST have dinged something.

 

That's the thing "practicing" could get really expensive! Maybe he is related to the that Branson fellow

 

That's awesome! And it's not an S!

 

Don't worry...that's no fly-by-night, that's the famous Russ Swift. He's da man!!!.....and never misses.

 

I like the 2 wheel one!

 

I figure that they had to be using run-flats to make the 2-wheel one possible !!

MINI ski jumps! MINI Rockets!

I had no idea that our little cars make such good projectiles!

 

Swweeeeeettttt !!

 

Never....underestimate a MINI!!

 

I think I'll try that next time I have to parallel park..... NOT!

Thanks for sharing.

 

Wow... This guy sure knows hot to park a MINI !!

 

Honestly my mother used to park her Camaro in a similar manner, scared the **** out of my dad the first time . Come to think of it - I do not think either parent will be allowed to drive my mini . . . .

 

I am going to start a new company.

Life size foam Mini Replicas.

I will sell them in pairs so we can all try this.

I am going to make $$$$$ (<gillions)

 

Watch the video again. Does he hit the mini behind him? Or doe the mini behind him move because of the wind pressure generated by such an abrubt spin.??

I think the latter.

 

I love footage like this...fun.
One of the guys on "Fifth Gear" had the guy in the video teach him how to park like that. It took the FG guy 78 tries, and he beat the bejeezus out of the car(s). Still fun to watch, tho'.
