Mephisto Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Today, I was watching a show on the Discovery Channel. Top Gear, to be specific. Hang on, this will get kind of strange in a minute. These guys were testing out a modified Lotus Elise with an engine on it that would be like putting a Saturn V rocket on a food processor. They were on a race track and had an APACHE ATTACK HELECOPTER following the Lotus, trying to get a rocket to lock onto it. The car cost 30000 pounds. Don't ask me what that is American, but it is a lot of money. Not something I'd want to be shooting rockets at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivaree Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 0.0 if I didn't have to pay for it I think trying to shoot rockets at it (and missing) would be an increadibly fun time! And I think that it would be 54,240 in American currency. (Yay for google) http://www.x-rates.com/calculator.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted June 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 They finally let the heli go off track to a normal distance that they fire from. Got a lock on within a second or two and blew the car up... *sniff* Waste of a perfectly good car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivaree Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 THEY ACTUALLY HIT IT!?! I could understand hitting it if it was a junk car, and hitting next to it for kicks, but .. I would of taken that car. -.- I can't drive, well I can I'm just frightened to, but that's beside the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
