Next time I'll make a video of me driving from home to my nearest Londis.

I feel sorry for that GTC! :eek:

Is this what Top Gear would be like if they had to do "proper" reviews all the time, like many people are wanting them to do?

*snores*

Show directors - who can't drive - running Bentley GTC's?

Thought I read somewhere about BBC excess....... :rolleyes:

Nice clip anyway.

Top Gear (aka Two and a Half Men) is like Jackass, much prefer Tiff on Fifth Gear tbh, at least he can drive and isn't a pompous narcissistic twit

Wow, I thought I recognized the area -- he's driving around my borough! Does he live in Hammersmith/Chiswick?

What's the point? You don't have any fans.

Tiff isn't exactly a great driver, in fact I'd say Ben Collins (The stig) is much better. Jason Plato is good though. It's not all about powersliding.

The amount of vibration in that car was mad. Suspension back in the day was simply non-existent!

Seriously? The rattling is the camera equipment, and suspension was much softer in the past.

You do know what narcissistic means right? The only thing Tiff loves more than pointless powerslides is himself.

Ben Collins is a solid driver, he won the Le Mans Series LMP2 class yesterday in the Algarve with RML.
