I mentioned this before. It's from our wonderful TV programme Top Gear.

Glad to see it has made it to one of the video sites so you lot over there can get to view.

That was beautiful. The only thing that could have been better was if there were a giant ramp at the end that would launch the car into outer space.

Why wasn't Richard Hammond driving? Just kidding.

Wow. "once I reach this speed, the tires will only last for 50 minutes, but that's ok because the fuel will only last 12 minutes." So many staggaring facts about this car. 16cyl, 9 radiators, top speed sucks in more air in a second than a human does in four days... Amazing. Just amazing.

I thought he said 15 minutes for the tires, and 10 radiators. Still ridiculous.

I can't, in any way, relate to this as an automobile or, actually, as any sort of real object. It's beyond my experience, and fairly beyond my comprehension.
Anyway, I want it in red and silver. :-)

I've just watched the clip from the link above and seen that they unfortunately cut before the bit back in the studio where they have a little chat. I think James says something like he had got so used to the incredible speed that when he came back to where the team were waiting they had to scatter as he didn't realise he was still going at 100mph. Something like that anyway.
Oh and don't worry, Richard Hammond is still driving very fast cars but they thought it would be more fun to let the generally slowest and more cautious presenter go for the maximum.
Oh again...was it just my setup or is that clip showing in squashed format for everyone? Really mucks up the beautiful lines of the car but does make James look much slimmer than he really is.
