    they bought a toyota pickup with more mialge than my rover
    rusty battered to hell, huge rust holes int he side
    drove it into trees walls, down stairs, nothign
    dunked it int he sea tied down, it broke loose, got it pulled fromt he sand dune
    cleared the sand out & got it firing agian (with no new parts & this had been int he sea for hours & hours and hours) they dropped it, they ran it into a shed, they dropped a caravan on it, they hit ti with a wreckign ball even set fire to it but it still worked

    Yeah, couldn't believe my eyes, especially when they torched the car....left you thinking that it was well and truely roasted! But no! It managed to survive!

    Got to be something good for an 12 yr old pick up truck!

    yeah, that was cool - don't think they coulda really let it burn though - if the fire had got to the petrol tank it woulda been all over surely?

    Wasn't it a diesel though?

    Couldnt believe it still worked after 5 hours in the sea though - all that sand in the engine bay - and the thing still started! :eeek:

    can do that with old scooby's too.... back in the day my brother had a 85 subaru gl hatchback... we ran it with no oil for over 8000 miles and it didn't die...

    my brother's mate is still driving it to this day... has something like 400,000 miles on it

    Of course they just created a new classic car ;)

    A) They just made it interesting by attempting to destroy it and failing
    B) They made it rare by lots of people going out and buying the thing to see if they can destroy it ;)
