There's just something so compelling about Brits talking about anything. I can't help but listen. This has got to be one of my favorite excerpts from one of my favorite shows.

I remember this video. 10

I remember this video. 10 radiators?! That's crazy. It's cool that it was made, but no one needs a car that goes that fast.

I'd love to drive on that private track to see how fast I can get my Accord going. I don't think I'd feel comfortable topping out on my bike at this point, but it would be fun to drive it fast without traffic.

Sounds like somebody needs a track day

I remember reading about that car just after it was released, the engineering that went into it is insane. 407K...in a car...*shakes head*...it's mind numbing. I've hit 265k (err, about 165 miles) on a bike, and you have to plan so far a head it's crazy, I can imagine what that would be like in a car, going that fast. it would be difficult the think that fast.

Cant see the vid . . . well,

Cant see the vid . . . well, hear it. (At work.)

But to your point . . a little over 100 you begin to tunnel vison a bit . . seeing less and less behind or to the sides . . at 165, on the street . . you can miss a lot.

So I may or may not have spent a few hours straight watching Top Gear clips on YouTube last night, and this one just takes the cake. Holy crap.

Hahaha, that's awesome.

I enjoyed these Fifth Gear "car vs. bike" tests too.

Oh yeah, these are right up that alley
