Broken Throttle Cable Burnout

Info from Licensor: I and my friend were driving around town in his BMW E30 and all of a sudden the throttle cable snapped! We usually prepare for breakdowns but nothing like that. Luckily, he had a dog leash in the boot and we came up with the radical idea of running the leash from the throttle linkage on the motor into the cabin to get us home. Though it took 2 people to actually drive it, we ended up having a lot of fun with it and a lot of laughs. The video of the burnout I had posted was after about 20-30 mins after getting used to it. In the end, after about 2 weeks of the car being in that condition, we eventually got it fixed.
