That was excellent.

Clarkson makes the auto world appealing to a great number of people who otherwise wouldn't care. He writes and lectures with amazing skill.

truly a fantastic read.

this sort of writing allows people access to a wide variety of subjects.

the new yorker's a good source for lucid articles which give good insight.

Happily, stopping distances become irrelevant because you won’t see the obstacle in the first place. By the time you know it was there, you’ll have gone through the windscreen, through the Pearly Gates and be half way across God’s breakfast table.

oh, and they better have that fucker on the next episode of topgear. The top time board will never be the same.

I think its a bit too short for a car like the Veyron to be able to make full use of its capabilities. I think that the Nurburgring would be a better way to rate it.
