Vauxhall skate party -- Click above to watch video

Vauxhall is rolling out the retro cool by holding an invitation-only roller skating event in North London on July 29. As part of the festivities, the General Motors division has reportedly commissioned bespoke sets of Vauxhall Corsa roller boots (seriously), and the event will even feature a "pit-stop themed hair salone with free styling from a 'huge name' in celebrity hairdressing." The secret party doesn't look to have a name, but it's got the kind of vibe that doesn't need one: "'70s disco meets Knight Rider on roller skates." If only the Knight Rider show had thought of that, perhaps it would still be on the air.

You can check out the details at www.tiny.cc/vauxhallskate, and you can get into the groove with video of a young lady doing her thing wearing Vauxhall Corsa skates after the jump. Hat tip to Clarence.

We just got tipped about this amazing feet, um, feat from India. A 5-year-old Indian girl roller-skated under 40 vehicles on Thursday. Well, coasted under them after building up a bit of speed on the approach. The little girl, identified only as Muskaan, said she wasn't nervous even though there was only 8.5 inches of room for her to squeeze through. When she failed on her first attempt, her father encouraged her to try again, and with the people of Gwalior, India cheering her on, she managed to coast all the way through on her second try.

There's a video available by clicking here. Trust us, click it.
