    I gotta give credit to Clarkson and May, they didn’t put a finger on Hammond’s car. They usually like to mess with each other including with the cars but they knew Hamster loved Oliver so they didn’t do anything to hurt it. Just goes to show much the three of them are truly good friends.

      laws of physics, the main force of resistance, air drag, is dependent on the velocity of the object, not its mass
      so a heavier object with the same kinetic energy as a lighter object will suffer less air resistance and thereby travel a further distance.
