Attention-seeking Chinaman drives car on two steel cables suspended 150ft above a river

Roy Castle, God rest his soul, would have admired the dedication/lunacy of Liu “The Car King” Suozhu, 48, who drove 750ft across a river in China’s Hunan province at the weekend. During his 30-minute journey, Liu communicated to his thousands of fans below via radio.

“The cables are a bit shaky, not very stable… the slope is very steep,” Liu said, ever the showman.
