Hey Villi & Bjorn: Icelandic Jeep drives on Water!!!

[Melensdad]

For our members in Iceland this is one of the more bizarre things I've seen.

Take a big block engine, inject some nitros for an added boost to get to 800 horsepower, slap that into a tubular frame that sort of resembles a Jeep and launch it off the shoreline onto a lake.

I'll bet that water is a lot colder than cool!!!

Dang,
I had no idea a snowmobile was that fast.

I found out the hard way myself... I was used to the 1970's 440 sleds. I hopped on a new sled and "punched it" (as I was accustomed to doing). The sled went 300' forward. I was laying on my ass in the exact spot where the sled took off from underneath me... right where I punched it.

I don't think I'll try it either with my M38 Willys Jeep or the ST4 Snowtrac, I don't like swimming!
