ohhh great! I hated that car. haha. I am just going to close my eyes and hope for the best. Although I think I will feel safer in a plane than that chopper I have seen pics of. I would be afraid of falling out.

I think this is all a joke that I'm not familiar with.

I will be sure to check the seatbelt then and apparently not hold on to the bar in the centre of the chopper I believe? haha.

Yeah, don't hold that unless you want to crash/know how to fly it. It's the collective control which basically means it bit that makes the aircraft go up and down by changing the pitch of the main rotor blades. Also does a bit of throttle work for various physics principals.

And the rogering is a pay out on Jim. You had to be there.
