probably something to do with aero (like the stabilizing fin down the center, minimum size and shape of cockpit, etc) and general dimensions being closely regulated? since it's modern motorsport and we can't allow radical innovation, oh goodness no.

As a half-brit I may have a slight advantage, but I wouldn't call any of this fantastic baby babel unintelligible...

Sheesh. well in that case maybe spinelli is the American James May. American top gear is pretty intolerable on screen by UK standards.

Goodguy Batman? Fights crime as a mystery vigilante by night, happily pulls over for a minor traffic infraction by day.

May is definitely an honorary Jalop. He pretty much paraphrases the holy prayer "Miata Is Always The Answer." He also simultaneously owns an F430, a brown Silver Shadow and a Fiat Panda, and would argue that the Panda is the best of the three.

Dutch top gear?

Long live #TORCHLOPNIK
