Several years ago, a local modeler bought a brand new small car car to replace his aging pick up truck. He was used to carrying his big birds to and from the field in one piece, in the back of the truck. Since he only had to drive on local roads to get to the field, he just tied the airplane to the roof of his car, pointing forward into the wind.
One day on the way home from the field, he heard the model begin to move on the roof, so he reached out of the window to grab hold of it, swerved off the road, and drove into a telephone pole!
Fortunately he was not hurt, but the car and the model didn't fair as well.
Not to laugh at other peoples mis-fortunes, but you have to admit, it's pretty funny! It was long enough ago now that I'll bet even he probably laughs about it now.
Cheers, Nigel
