    Somehow missed this thread. I'm pretty sure that's the Otto Mathe built Universal, powered by a 4 cam Carrera engine.

    Ehh, it doesn't look that dangerous to me. When I was a kid in Michigan we used to hitch rides by holding onto unsuspecting car bumpers and slide crouched down behind the car..... hoping that they didn't cross a plowed street - or that our parents found out. It seems there used to be more snow, and they didn't use salt or go crazy plowing. The good old days. Curt, you're much too young to remember this.

    Jim we did the same thing as a kid in New England, we called it bumper jumping.
    Later we got "smart" enough to use own own cars and have a person in the car looking out for open tar to give us warning when to let go.
    We used to see 40 mph on a good snow covered road.
    Seems crazy now but in the day it was just a way of having fun during the long winters.
    I suspect the guys in the video feel the same way today.
