Cool Car Ad

[DavzGN]

There's a link to a really cool ad from England. No comments on it being a honda ad please.

Apparently the ad is real and took 606 takes ... see article below....

Man that is cool.
Who cares if it is a honda ad.
And I thought setting up dominos was hard!

OK - absolutely amazing. Thx for the post.

? though - how do the tires go up the ramp. They don't seem to have enough kinetic energy to do it. The view is not clear enough to see if a pulley is activated.

Anyone?

They explain some of it in the article in the second link. The tires were weighted and balanced just right so the lightest touch would cause them to roll up the ramps.

Thank you - I see, if the weight was just at the ends of the balance - a push would give you roughly 300 degrees to roll, in this case up.

Even cooler!
