If you live near Cambridge then try the road from Haslingfield to Barton (close to Foxton, Royston etc). This road has a big dip in it - first time I went over it southbound yesterday I was doing 60 . Coming back Northbound today I booted it up to 80 then braked a little so 70-75-mph and I actually had all 4 wheels off the tarmac Dukes of Hazard style. Wouldnt advise going any faster as the front end of my car felt pretty damn heavy.

Simon.

P.S. I wouldn't advise this manouver in a P1 or scoob with a lower than standard front spoiler!

IIRC you should apply the clutch whilst in the air and re-engage once you've landed to avoid too much drivetrain shock on impact.

Do this caution...

Land "wrong" and you risk popping the airbags as the sensor thinks you've crashed. As proven by a Scooby on a run once...

Theres a road beside me that you can get airborne 7 times in a 1.5 mile stretch-then turn around and do it again on the way back-no heavy landings either.Say what you like about evo's but they certainly fly well!.
