”..and it’s something you only use in very vigorous driving...”

The Cadillac Sixteen.

This applies to road cars too. Everything rode so much nicer before the unnecessary monster wheel and rubber band tire fad took over.

Does anybody else like Top Gear without a really good driver as a host?I mean I know Clarkson was always into F1 and always an automotive journalist, but he wasn’t in the same league as Chris Harris. With Top Gear U.S., part of what it was lacking (in my opinion) was the fact that the competitions and races were…

Sponsor’s color scheme and logos are most import to a race car you said.

Porsche. Not Porshe. Pronounced “Porsh-ah”

“Crap, he turned *right*, our only weakness!

Yes, but what advantages does this automobile have over a train? Which I could also afford..

Captain Slow. His head is full of useful (and useless) information, meaning he’ll always have a story to tell, an interesting anecdote, and a fascinating backstory to all sorts of roadside attractions. Plus his soothing cadence would put me to sleep when I’m in the passenger seat.

The Dude. Things would be nice and laid back and he’d always have a J for you.

I was more impressed by the drifting of the Darracq 200HP. Less smoke, but more balls.

Her and Tina Fey....yowzers.

Ferrari 355 Challenge. I can’t find a good picture, but the arcade machines had sweet gated manuals

Gran Turismo 2. Not 1, not the others, 2 was by far the best. And Gulf GT40 introduction into my gaming world, and probably yours too. Oh what’s that, you don’t care about the 500+ cars in the game, you care about the music, well we got you covered, Rob Zombie, The Cardigans, Foo Fighters, Beck, Stone Temple Pilots,…

Except that these weren’t a disaster. The selling point was that they could be driven on a motorbike licence and were cheap enough that they were a viable alternative to a moped/motorbike. When working in a factory/down a mine the appeal of arriving and going home with some protection from the British weather was…

Restrictor plate racing NASCAR is so stupid.

Oh Orlove... someday someone is going to have to teach you about the birds, bees and the difference between horsepower and torque. It's totally okay that you don't understand that (which does explain your love for your bug and your Toyota) - but that climb was hp (mass in motion), not torque (the ability to get mass…

Virgin? Woodside? Where to start?

Richard Burns Rally (RBR). This is by far the best off-road racing game I've ever played. Realistic physics, lots of community support, good graphics, good sound effects, and the thrill of getting a long stage right! I've played the other rally games, and always went back to this one.

Great show, the stuff he does on his own are generally very interesting programmes.
