Turbo19 Posted July 16, 2013 Share #2 Posted July 16, 2013 Nice share. I'm surprised those guys didn't get their hands burnt, or even cut, as I recall the engine fans being in close proximity to the rear grate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz Posted July 16, 2013 Share #5 Posted July 16, 2013 Nice share.

No, engine fan is on the left side of the engine compartment behind the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted July 16, 2013 Share #6 Posted July 16, 2013 Kids used to do that on fishbowls. Never knew how, as it didn't look like there was anything to hold on, but it seemed to be the bottom of the rear window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted July 16, 2013 Share #7 Posted July 16, 2013 Oh wow that is back when the 8000-8399 had its original engines. They don't have the tailpipe on the top like the newer RTS's do. Great find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petabread Posted July 16, 2013 Share #14 Posted July 16, 2013 I saw a kid a few weeks ago do that on the q30, he fell off though and was almost hit by a mini van but lucky for him the person driving the minivan was paying attention. However, I've heard of stories where kids would do this and they would call off and get killed all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share #21 Posted July 23, 2013 Wow I haven't seen kids do that since I was a kid in the 80's lol. That was something to see that again. Right?
