It was winched on.  First attempt almost scraped the roof so they  
backed it out a few feet and next attempt it went straight in.  They  
must have lowered the front somehow for the next try.  If you look  
closely, the car doesn't sit "flat" - rather it has its nose up in  
the air inside the bus.



They must have let some air out of the tires.....!
  
  BTW, cool video of you on the hillclimb. That looks like a lot of fun,  and 
the car sounds great - except for the missed shift....
