Great video Marco...thanks for posting. Seeing all those deserted country roads in England (my home country) was a blast.... I learned how to drive a sports car on roads like that.
Lol careful you might get flamed for admitting to driving on public roads by the "holier than" crew.
He, just like everyone who drives in a spirited manner on public roads is actually doing it FOR the safety of regular drivers. Making sure the road is safe at a much higher limit so normal drivers have tons of room for error. I love performing "safety checks" on various mountain roads.

Thank you for clarifying my intentions. I actually drive fast specifically for Rob-2's personal safety.

It's a good review. I think the BRZ/GT86 will get more into the S2k zone with the launch of the sti 250hp version.

I found this a while ago which I think I shared

The problem is squarely with you and your driving. You'll notice they didn't do donuts while cars drove by. In fact you'll notice not a single car not involved in the shoot. Read up on UK filming permits and how the entire process works. Furthermore if they wanted to really 'test' the car track and/or a hop over to the Isle of man could be hand.

Either way, they would take responsibility for their actions and not attempt to find fault with non-at-fault parties. Debating suing state police over a rock they hit on the road. The problem I have with you is that you're an irresponsible adult child. There. It's been said. You're dangerous to anyone who is on the road with you or anyone who drives with you.

But ask me how I really feel...

Tell me more about, no never mind, please don't.

Isle of Man is all public roads just like the roads used in the video. Yes I am sure they were closed to the public during filming. No Chris Harris isn't concerned about, oh never mind this, I am going to watch the review again instead.

You are too easily distracted. Oh wait! This thread is about that review. Never mind.

That is the funniest review of his I have ever seen. One of my past managers (we liked to call him Mr. Manager) got a 2012 Camaro SS Transforminator's Edition awhile back and let me have a go and was very lightly hooned through Steven's Canyon. The 550hp pedal to the far right is the best pedal.
