Default Drivetrain out - Pallet jack?

I remember seeing a video of this a few years ago, D3 4.2 or maybe 5.2, someone was able to get the drivetrain out and carted around with the car either on jackstands or maybe cribbing? I found a source for information on a D2, but I'm certain a I saw a video of a D3 doing it, the expression on the face of the owner as he was able to get the drivetrain rolled around was memorable.

In any case, did anyone save the video or information on it? My S8's passenger side head gasket is done, pushing combustion gases into the coolant on cylinders 2 and 3. It explains a lot of the weird stuff that's been happening over the past year or so.
