I love the car, but hate the driver :)

I think if I had one of those, that's how I'd drive it. Too drat scared to really attack the corners for fear of binning it, and HURR THE WHEELS SPIN on the straights. Kind of like when you first drove on snow...

Where's the rally car? They've been doing the old F1 vs whatever around circuits for ages now and there are at least six or seven variants on YouTube. Clarkson's 'trump card' was the sideways Scot.

The police are currently on the hunt for this guy on the bike, I doubt he'll get away with anything less than prison if they do catch him.

Was filling up at my local petrol station on Bank Holiday Monday when eight or so bikes went past on the A414 doing what must have been in excess of 160mph. I mean, seriously 160mph or more. People at neighbouring pumps were yelling and even waving fists it was that fast. And you just know these riders are just the kind of cunts who'll be badmouthing "hur dum cagers" while snorting into a lager at the next pub stop. Here's hoping they kill themselves alone!

This test was made just for you.

Good protection in the Smart. Even if you do finish bounced upside-down into traffic in the other lane. Your link lead me to this one with Clarkson frustrated by the slew of half-baked technology in the W220 S-Class:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmkX9mtF9zI

which is startlingly similar to my own W221 clip from earlier this year:

Aside from being overwrought with faddish technology, the car was okay to drive but was in my opinion noisier than its predecessor because of wind flutter around the A pillar. It used to drive me nuts on long hauls because the sound was no more than an inch from my ear. There was also the issue of the seven speed box, which hunted between cogs on a trailing throttle and would give a great thump when you changed your mind from beans to brakes at a busy junction. I mentioned it in a forum and the consensus was that 'they all do it', though the question of why you need seven speeds remains. Owning the last three iterations of the S-Class together with my experience of all the BMW, Audi and even VW equivalents has made me realise it's an illusion the Germans build better cars. They used to, oh gently caress me yes, but not now. Now they just make cars people want to be seen in.
