Yeah makes you think. Shows how much safety technology has moved on. The Volvo driver didn't look too hot!

indeed.
Not so safe in the Volvo. That was a surprise.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Very interesting. I'd like to have seen a head-on collision between the Volvo and the Renault instead of the of-set collision. Then the situation might have been slightly different.
But there's certainly no argument that brains beats brawn any day of the week!
I loved how some of the cars started backing away from the tank when it started moving again. They looked a bit like scared sheepThink I would still want to be in the "big old tank"
It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

Yeah, sanitised version of Top Gear, but without balls, loutish behaviour, greenie bashing, mindless vandalism.... Okay so it's not like Top Gear really
Also they failed to mention the instantaneous 180 performed by the Renault. Even with the protection of air bags that would give the occupants internals a serious stir up

yeah i don;t like the show much either, mostly the presenters
but the good point is they do have someone who really does know how to drive tiff, he has raced in F1 and such.
but they are more just inform you on specs, but with no real humor, or anything
Homo Sapiens Vulgaris
Yeah, I agree Top Gear sucks and the Stig is a nana...
...not.
On the other hand - I'm more interested in the opinion of an enthusiast than that of an F1 driver when it comes to choosing a car for the road.
