    Everything was fine until the tug of war. I'll give them props for having the balls to do it, I suppose.

    Tug of war kind of ruined it. Before that it had some good artistic value making the cars feel like they're alive with no humans present. The tug of war brought the human element in.

    lol good stuff.

    Not sure why some dont like it. The cars are driving on what appear to be pretty much paved roads with just a bit of dirt on them....

    Their detailer def loves them though thats for sure....

    I just think there's a proper way to use these cars that doesn't involve abusing them in the process. I wouldn't want to be the next owner of any of the cars they are using for their YouTube antics.

    That's some serious connections in the car world. Either Hunt own 2 F50's himself, or he also knows others with F50s... either way. Lucky guy :d

    Anyone know the S/N of these 2?

    Apparently it is Hunt's Miura that burned to crisp the other day.

    Phone call this morning at Ricambi America: "Hello? I'm looking for some clutches for an F50."


    Like others, I enjoyed it up to the point of the tug-of-war.

    the smokey burnout is fine, but I don't get why it needed to be a tug war.

    Oh well, an enjoyable video.

    Would the assumption be "Dad doesn't have a computer" ?

    Or I'm to rich to care?

    Or ........ Who the heck KNOWS!?

    Bad edit choice on the slack rope I agree. It would have been better if it appeared to be some invisible force between them. Maybe even amp up the symbolism, whatever that is.

    Fun video non-the-less, even if I was able to do those sandy road stunts in my dad's Buick as a teenager.

    Not bizarre enough to get my attention. They will have to do better than that.

    But the F50 sure looks great in yellow. :)

    Fun video. I understand it being a bummer if they are damaging the cars. Are they REALLY damaging the cars wheel spinning in reverse?

    Where's that 'not impressed' photo when you need it? Some rich people taking their cars at high speeds on dirt roads and then a pointless tug-of-war where no one wins...great. Doesn't take much thought and effort to do something like that. Wish they would rather do something constructive like shoot a video of an F50 engine rebuild.
