Watch This Abused Ford Slam Itself Into Reverse And End Its Own Life

As one man turns the engine on and gets it revving, his friend tries to get the crowd going.

Tidaholm, Sweden, isn't particularly well-known. The only notable entry on its Wikipedia page states that there is a hologram exhibition in the town centre. Fascinating. That might, however, go some way in explaining what these fools were doing - boredom does strange things to the mind, after all...

The Scorpio jumps into reverse and makes a valiant bid for freedom.

What appears to be the lowest budget car show in history is in full swing, with the tens of people in attendance lapping up the entertainment. A highly sought after Ford Scorpio is centre stage, chugging into life. A portly man and his two hi-vis friends get the engine going and step away from the vehicle. Why? Who knows. Rev it 'til it blows? Maybe.

As one hi-vis man accepts the car's fate, his friend gives chase, in a pointless attmpt to catch the runaway.

What we're sure they didn't envisage however, was the driverless Scorpio knocking itself into reverse in a valiant attempt to end its life of mediocrity. A lot of panic, flapping about and laughter ensues, while the Scorpio makes its way one step closer to the scrap heap.
