I've watched then do 4WD supercars on Top Gear with at best mixed results. Rally suspension is a must imo, and the right rubber.

Did you see the newish episode cannabineer where they make a van into shit! Watts the term.. brain fart.. the things that float on a big cushion of air and can be driven on water and the like.. god its going to irk me..
Anyhoo.. first go round they drive it into the Stratford upon Avon I think it is and it sinks right away..
they tinker with it some more and get it working great.. Jeremy is driving it and its just classic good top gear IMO..

italian grand prix this weekend.. watching replay of practice atm..

really was a moving moment to be able to hear a formula 1 car going around the monza circuit in italy in person. hearing those engine notes bouncing off of the trees is something that must be experienced irl, at least once, if you're into that sort of thing..
and nothing like being a ferrari fan at monza with all the tifosi, they're super fans..
