What's going on there then? - Is the plane inverted? What plane is it?

IIRC, It's one of the Boeing test pilots rolling the prototype 707...

Massive fail!

So many of those cars are not 'straight' in line, and the Nimrod is neither straight, nor lined up on the centreline of the runway.

Terrible

Maybe they should of got all the powerfully built company directors who own those cars to go and straighten the nimrod then get back in their cars and line them up properly?

C'mon appreciate it for what it is.

Edit: I cant see an Esprit so 'Meh'.... ; )

I was worried you were implying people were efficient engines

They can cover more ground in a day than any living creature on the planet. So pretty efficient

That doesn't equal efficiency

The Nimrod is at an angle because she's being drifted away from an aborted landing.

In that case, there's an argument for inclusion on the bad parking thread

More ground or more distance? I'd hazard a guess that various dogs, monkeys and bacteria (do they count as living creatures?) might be able to mix it with the most distance-covering of humans.
Of course you could always put a dog in a car or train. Probably train bacteria have the best claim for covering more ground in a day.
Of course in none of these cases are the living being acting as an engine, so it's a moot point.

I was going to suggest wildebeest and zebra, but then had a rather better thought...the wandering albatross!
(Anyone want to hazard a guess at how far a large bird that almost never lands can fly in a day???)

It's a simple thrust to weight ratio.....
