All I can say is... WOW... now thats how you test out a car. The WA Pits should take a que. Thats how you really test a car!! Mobile testing facility of champions!

How cool is that thing!!! Transformers cum XXXX Gold Retreat! Inbuilt dyno to boot!

To narrow the technology gap for owners, The German
Automobile Club (ADAC) of Lower Saxony/Saxony-Anhalt
developed the “ADAC Digital Diagnostics” project. Today,
their test lane, built in a semi-trailer equipped with the mostup-
to-date technology, offers members thorough inspections of
cars, light trucks, and vans.

Since the beginning of 2009, the 27 meter long ADAC truck
has tested 4,000 vehicles. During the 30-minute safety check,
ADAC checks the vehicle’s structure, transmission, brakes,
tires, shock absorbers, lights, airbags, battery, tachometer,
cooling, brake fluids and steering. Computer memory is
inspected for error messages and an endoscope is used to
detect problems within the car’s cavities. In addition, the test
provides car-specific information to inspectors and owners.
