This clip is real. No CGI, no special effects. It's for an ad campaign in Europe and not the US, apparently. There are articles at the link describing how it was done; Flash 6 is required to view it.

Actually, I'm a bit surprised. I thought you were from England Alisho and saw this already. What're you doing in the US? (Tennesse)?

If Wilie Coyote would have designed this contraption he would have been shot out the windshield of the Accord right into the path of an incoming locomotive....

Truly Classic!

I've showed this to several people already -- it's very, very cool. Thanks for the link, Azure Trance.

I remember seeing that the first time it was on television. I just sat there and watched, amazed. And then when I heard it was all real, no faking, one shot, I was even more amazed.

Apparently, several of the crew went slightly mad during the shoot, and began referring to bits of the equipment by name...
