Clarkson will still find something wrong with it, like the boots not big enough.
But I think we'd expect that anyway.
And he'll probably wet himself.

Should be, but according to TV guide the repressed minority of us with only terestrial analog has to put up with imposed viewing from digital channels
when it should be on. (normaly 11.20 on a tue)

Hearing it on tv doesn't do it justice...
You should hear it in real life.
At Le Mans the P1 drivers were moaning about the top end speed of them, they were having trouble getting past on the straights !

Someone I know through racing once managed to blag getting a few laps in at lunchtime with some vip guests in his vanquish (at silverstone), which was
nice...
he reconned he was hitting 165mph at the end of the start finish straight in a standard road car, which was faster than the cars we were there racing!
(in a straight line, not lap time )
