    I'd forgotten just how insane this clip is. To drive at that speed in a road car that weighs that much on a rally stage is just incredible. And with a useless co-driver too.

    • @ShanesAutos
      @ShanesAutos Рік тому +5

      He’d probably say it was impressive for a big heavy land yacht which it is. Nobody who owns one of these cars would drive it on so much as gravel track in case it’d get a little dusty and yet here it is hauling ass on a bumpy, muddy narrow rally stage.

    This is why Top Gear was the best programme on TV ever in history. No other show touched it. My mum loved it and wouldn't miss an episode (even though sh'es not into cars and hates Jeremy Clarkson). Go figure. The three presenters were all so different yet were perfectly similar.
