This one was amazing.

Ken Watts in drie tellen van held tot 'Ken Kwats'

05 jan 2008, 03:07 - Het was een mooie, zonnige winterdag aan het einde van de kerstvakantie, die 4e januari 1976. Motorcross was nog een grote sport in Nederland: iedere zondag berichtte Studio Sport over de WK-races in echte Nederlandse crossdorpen als Sint Anthonis en Gendt.

Tragic, theres bugger all on the guy outside that article and the bbc archive video.

His son (allegedly) popped up in the comments of the YouTube videos (there are two vids) that BBC put up.

53, an accountant, not blown up. Not too many memories of dad, because he died during a jump gone wrong when the kid was barely 5.

My parents were fans of Fred Dibnah when I was a kid, I'd watch bits here and there and it didn't bother me, quite liked him. However, a fear of heights that I never used to have has crept up on me with age, and now I felt absolutely sick during a couple of moments in that clip.

Fair play to the people who can do that kind of work.

If they're on facebook there's a whole Fred Dibnah fan club

We had Vauxhall Cavaliers in the UK. Same name but different car, although apparently they shared the same GM platform at one point. It was a big seller, more of a mid-grade car than economy.
