Watch a burning Midget flip at 1,000 frames-per-second

Does that count as a "Rotisserie Restoration?"

How can you not click on that?

I'm offended by that! There were no real midgets in that film and the MG that was flipping was a contrived event.

But cool nonetheless. Looked like a Mythbusters type of experiment.

BTW I have midget friends and they prefer the term little people.

At least it was a rubber bumper car and the engine was pulled. Notice the sheet of plywood flipping and flying above the car about 1/2 way through?

The PC term for MG Midget is "Little British Car."

I would have greater appreciation if your name here busters would destroy a few camrys and accords instead of classics.

Still cool though.

We really should be kinder to the little people.

Taking the ring all the way to Mordor wasn't easy, we owe them a lot.
