magley64 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Relative of Jporter12? http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/amateur-daredevil-takes-1989-lincoln-town-car-flying-194112687.htmlPorter wanted to jump seven vans, only four made an appearance at the Crawford County Fairgrounds last weekend. While high-dollar stuntmen might keep their daily drivers separate from their show cars, Porter doesn't have the resources yet for a full fleet -- the Lincoln serves both duties, and may be the only Town Car to sport a roll cage and bench seats. Porter was wise enough to know exactly how much speed he needed to clear the ramps and what the Lincoln could get up to on the fairgrounds circuit.

wantahertzdonut Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I love reading all the things that went wrong with that jump. It must have been amateur day at stunt school! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
