This one is funny, almost crashing at igh speed and starts beating the car afterwards, he should thank the car for staying on. :p

I was working at John Beatties some years back building a race engine when Nick Mann called in to show a video of his turbine running on an experimental rig in his garden. When it started running all the plants downstream of the oulet were blown flat to the ground!
I thought then that it looked like it might have potential!

I saw this car go at that meeting, One of the most amazing noises I have heard.

Sounds like the engine was dying to me, unless he was deliberately stopping. Would explain him getting upset though.
