Makes Guy Martins effort look a bit hopeless

Amazing! Wouldn't fancy falling off in those boots

That does look like a shed load of fun.

until you stall it

By flooding the engine?

Yeah that or fall off, which is always a consideration for me

I was wondering as he emerged from the wall of white water where the hell the engine was getting it's air from... I guess there were some sneaky mods, may have had a compressed air supply and filter intake shut-off arrangement. I know thats how our escape lifecraft out here work for the submerge post release.

Some info here on how they did it all

Chees mate.

Yeah by the looks of that and some other photos I've since seen the whole airbox area is sealed up with duct tape and it looks like twin ballout (scuba escape) cylinders strapped to the tank. In that TV interview he breifly mentions the air intake system was heavily modified.

Look forward to seeing the behind the scenes video later in the month.
