I would have said this is Snapshot's One for the weekend caption competition but the photograph itself is awesome.

This was sent to me from a South African Police mate. Don't know who took it but a brave man none the less.

If my memory serves me right, this is an old picture taken by a National Geographic snapper, and I think it was more coincidence than "Cohones"!

Not as brave as a short person I heard tell of who took on a Herc at South Cerney. Well, he was short afterwards!

The snapper obviously used a v high speed shutter. Just look at the driver(?) He`s agood six feet off the ground with his legs going around like Roadrunner in the cartoon.
