2) Epic split on Volvo Trucks clip

The muscles from Brussels Jean Clause Van Damme does the impossible on the Volvo Trucks video clip as he does the epic split while the Volvo trucks are moving in reverse, showcasing how stable and precise their new Dynamic Steering system is. Take a look at this video and oh...don't try this.

 

3) Third-generation Mini...did they set this on Wumbo?

2015 Mini Cooper

The third-generation Mini Cooper, backed by BMW, has finally revealed and this time, the new model is bigger, faster, and more frugal. Since this new Mini is now bigger, I'd imagine that it's not much of a Mini anymore but...DID THEY TRY SETTING IT TO WUMBO? Never mind but the new model now rides on an all new UKL1 platform, to be shared with an array of Mini and BMW models. This new model is available with a new generation of 1.5-liter 3-cylinder and 2.0-liter 4-cylinder twin-turbocharged gasoline engines.
