I wonder in the vid if that is a full shark suit worn by the "handler"or just the gauntlets, there is a quick shot at the end of someone in a full one.

Nose rubbing on sharks is a well known form of pacifying them, even Great Whites succum to the tender touch.
As to dodgy owners feeding fish, say bye-bye to Robert Maxwell. There goes one man who deserved to feed the fishes.

I've only seen that car on British Top Gear and they tend to mask the engine noises with music, sadly!!!!! Id lay into it too much just to hear the sounds. If I owned one.

I like BMW's but I'm still Mercedes for daily driver status. Thinking of replacing my S430 with an SL65AMG, but also keep thinking maybe M5!!!!!!

A friend of mine did the conversion but on his VW Bus and it was a Porsche 911 engine. I forget the year on both, it was fast though.

Proof that money can't always buy class: LINK
SL AMG = Cool
Flat black = Cool
Bubblegum pink badging and neon glow + bright green carpet embroidery = so NOT cool! |
