Some interesting cars with some interesting handling there...

5mph less and it would be fun .

How many of us actually note a particular speed to take a corner at once we know a track?

brilliant - I'm putting a link to that on my desktop to cheer me up on demand

Would like to see the interviews afterwards, who was in their dad's car, who was on a test drive, hire car etc etc

I cannot believe the four people in the Beetle CONVERTIBLE!!!!

Considering the number of Beetles that had rolled already, they must have had a death wish.

Considering the number of Beetles that had rolled already, they must have had a death wish.

And some without seat belts.
Did you notice the number of rear-engined cars involved: Beetle, VW 1600, NSU, Fiat 600, Renault 9(?), Simca 1000?

Adenauer is always a good place to watch people getting it wrong!

Note the careful parking by the black Mercedes
