Driving Me Up the Wall!

[Otto Puzzell]

In Ray B.'s now-legendary "My Car is So Light" thread, the idea was to find pictures of females lifting cars. This puzzle has a similar theme, and is perhaps a bit easier to score point in. Here's how it works:

What you puzzlers have to do is:
1- Identify this motorized vehicle, with which the driver appears to attempting to ascend a vertical wall. I'll award one point for the ID.
2- Find as many pictures as possible of automobiles, motorcycles, trucks or ATV's doing the same. No points for vehicles without operators. No points for vehicles affixed to walls for promotional, advertising, or stunt purposes. Photo-shopped pictures will be judged individually for their merits, and the decision of the judge (me) is final.
3- The wall (or other vertical surface) has to be at least as tall as the vehicle, as seen in the vehicle's vertical scaling attempt.

Enjoy!

Guess this is not exactly what you are looking for...?

Wow - I din't think I'd have to add more qualifiers already. 

OK - I'll admit that one (if you post a pic herein), but from now on, the wall has to be at least as tall as the vehicle, as seen in the latter's vertical scaling attempt.

Does this one qualify?

[Otto Puzzell]

I think you know the answer, but I'll help you out:

• Did the car drive there, or fly there?
• Is that a vertical ascent?
• Did the driver intend this ascent, or was this ascent incidental to another motoring event?

Yeah...I did know the answer.

I presume this one, too, doesn't qualify:

That seems to be driving across, not up.

Vertical enough for a point?

[Otto Puzzell]

I the strictest sense, no. Vertical is the direction aligned with the force of gravity.

If I were playing fast and loose with the rules, I might accept as "close enough" an angle of more than 67.5 degrees above horizontal (or more than halfway between 45 degrees and perfectly vertical).

So, no, 37.5 degrees doesn't cut it.

I wasnt sure I could post a Youtube link, so I didnt before.

But this one fits, I think.

And this one may not ( maybe not enough angle ), but  pretty amazing to watch..

That's pretty darned vertical!

I'd like to allow that one, but in fairness to Allan, the vertical part seems to to be traversed laterally. So, if the lion in the car (very cool picture) doesn't get a point, I can't give you one for this video, either.

But you are still leading the field!

I can see this is going to be a fun ride.

Not enough angle at all but fun to watch

Quite an adventure!

Interesting pic; no points.

You were too quick, and here´s another two:

And here´s the hero of my very early childhood days: Dudu" the beetle in a radical house-climbing scene in the movie "Ein Käfer auf Extratour"

HAHAHA! Loved it! Long time no see!

[grobmotorix]

Well, I think all of the three Dudu-movies were quite crappy so you wouldn´t see them for years.

But I´d really love to see them again, too....

There had been five movies as far as I know...
Was just kidding.. Have seen one of those sequels on TV some time ago. It was a rainy Sunday afternoon and I zapped to K1 or RTL2. I managed to watch it for only 10-15 minutes...
(Das Lexikon des Internationalen Films bezeichnet den Film als "ein Klamauk, der nur sehr bescheidenen Unterhaltungsansprüchen genügt." )
