Events like Byron Dragways World Power Wheelstand Championships have long rewarded cars for doing the most extreme wheelstands possible. But at other events they just “happen” and when they do the drivers just hope that the car comes out unharmed and that they become a sensation on the internet. We’re not sure if the sensation will make up for the fact that this poor little bastard ends up on it’s side, but we are certainly going to do our part to make sure everyone see’s its violent wheelstand. This Fiat 600 is clearly not powered by the original Fiat engine any longer, given the fact that whatever is in it no longer fits under the bonnet. See what I did there? Since it is running in Santa Pod I called it the bonnet. See? Okay, sorry, it’s been a long night.
So watch the videos! We have two of them, and they are epic. This must have been one hell of a ride.
I’m guessing its running a “vw” flat four, as it has an Outlaw flat four sticker in the window. Thats a heads up class (if im not mistaken) for, as the name suggests, flat four engines here in the UK 😀
This happened at the Big Bang: Camper and Bus show at the weekend. Unfortunately I was at work 🙁
Poor Dear – wonder why they cut the part when they flipped it over??
ever heard of wheelie bars???
I’m sure he has, but perhaps this time was different. I often ask the same question when watching radial tyre events, or other eighth mile classes that seem like some cars could benefit from them.
