I had problems turning my Honda Fit toad around in that driveway.


By the way didn't you think that the video that started this thread looked more like a cartoon than real life?

It did appear a little weird. He did have small curbs at each side to give a clue where the wheels were in relation to the edge.

The driver could’ve been quicker but he took longer than 3 min, so whoever bet he could do it LOST. Have been on many big buses in foreign countries. Their drivers are amazing when negotiating impossibly narrow alleys and crazy traffic. Plus unlike this one, automatic transmissions are rare.

Hi Chris,

Gardner Yeaw posted a link to that video back in 2008 so you very well may have found it on WOG.

"Wetten dass?" is not his tag, it is a German TV show where contestants bet that their choice of competitor can perform a certain stunt. Was very popular years ago.
That explains the why.
