Complete nonsense, but Iwas tempted to:
- sign up with a US online 'become a minister for x dollors' place.
- apply.

Then it would be one clergyman who could drive a bit!

Just showed how easy doughnuts are. I was waiting for the "yellow S2000 for sale, one careful owner" to appear on the forum - since it didn't have the "S200OUK" plate Honda UK tends to use for press cars, I wonder who's car it is.....

Maybe the S is just the best for that kind of stunt ?
Well I don't think that they could have used a Noble - the Airfield didn't look wide enough for it's turning cirlcle

I've got a short clip of the yellow S2000 with the Granny from Top Gear as an .mpg file 1.3mb. I can email it to you, unless somebody knows how to upload it. My (S2k) picture album won't accept it cause of the format.

Yep, it seesm like a contest between car programmes to see who can come up with the most sensational, but utterly pointless segment. How about putting the producers/directors of these shows into a car which is lowered into the Thames estuary and then seeing who is the quickest to get out. Oh... and, of course, the doors would all be welded shut

I actually think Clarkson has the mix right with his new show.
Constant road testing can get boring (5th gears test of the Saab last night...yawn).
The feel of the whole show is that of a weekly motoring magazine, the odd bit of silliness when you have an hour to play with is not a bad thing IMHO
