Driving without shocks? It's bucking madness...

I'm not going to lie: I often think of doing stupid things to my car.

What would happen if I shoved popping corn up the exhaust? If I replaced the motor oil with canola? If I doubled the recommended tyre pressures? We all think of doing stupid things, but for the love of our machines (and the safety of others), we never do them.

Not MasterMilo82. He's a Dutch YouTuber famed for doing the most stupid and hilarious tests. All on junkyard scraps, thankfully. He's shifted into first gear at 90km/h and reverse at 100km/h, let the bonnet fly open at 120km/h, and used his car's engine coolant and wheel energy to 'power' a washing machine bolted to the roof.

He's fantastically insane. And this time, he's punctured a Ford Focus' shocks with an electric drill to see how it handles. For science, I assume...

What do you think he should do next? Tell us in the comments below

James Lisle (aka J3) likes all things cars. Cynical and enthusiastic in equal measure, James loves to clamber into anything with a steering wheel and a decent amount of grunt. Although it may seem the J3 glass is half empty on first acquaintance with a new ride, he maintains a balanced approach and will happily lose himself in technical details relating to even the most common, mass market models. Bore and stroke ratios, specific output stats, and thermal efficiency figures are his guilty pleasures.
