Which do think will jump further, a trained ski jumper flying off the hill at Lillehammer or a rocket-powered British Leyland Mini Cooper?

There's only one way to find out:  Bring in the "Top Gear" guys and test it.

This looks like too much fun!

See the comic video here of the Mini shooting down a ski jump, flying through the air, landing - and maintaining trajectory - and plowing into a wall of what look like giant marshmallows.
