I saw that for like a split second. At first I thought it was a Fiat 500...

At least if a mini could be dropped they aren't doing it to a roundy. :D
Sorry.

Yep, it was the remains of a red clubby - with no subframes, no floor, no glass, no interior, fake wheels..... 2 normal people can easily lift one of those.... so I would hardly call LIFTING that, a Guiness Record. 150kgs at the most.

Maybe its a world record optical illusion attempt :wink:

I felt cheated, it was only 160 kgs and it was already lifted to shoulder height before he put it on his head.I would say, a few people in Australia could do that. :x

The one the guy lifted looked more like a Rover to me not a Clubby...

It was a rover round nose, like Mk4 or later... especially built with no engine...
