OK I hate to beat this dead horse but I did think of a way that this could have been done. I would suspect that there is a pre-established stop guide outside of view. Basically the operator already had the solid stop set in the correct location for up, down, in, out, left and right. Then all he dad to do is drive forward into the stop guide and pump the controls to the left. May be real but with some hidden magic...
I still find it impossible to do with no extra hidden stuff.
