...oh, and one of the US ones (can't remember which - might have been Abrams) which uses a jet engine, uses 8 gallons of fuel just to get the engine started :x

I'm waiting for the barrage of complaints about the irresponsible behaviour of our Jeremy in the race to Oslo :lol: The Merc looks stunning, sounds even better and goes better still.... but driving for 12 hours at high speed (some of it openly illegal)..... it's just asking for the 'thats not right' brigade to pipe up!
But me? I say 'Clarkson for President' :twisted: :lol:

As a member of the 'thats not right brigade' and piping up! i.e. IAM & ROSPA advanced drivers association observer I was appalled at the seemingly dangerous risk that JC exposed himself to in the course of his journalistic career. Throwing health & safety to one side and relying on Maggie's speeches to keep him awake.
Heaven help us, Maggie's speeches used send me to sleep. To use maggie to keep you awake well that is insane.
I did notice during his commentary he removed both hands from the steering wheel when he was at high speed and saw the steering wheel twitch.
If anyone recorded it look for that twitch.
As an observer for advanced driving I would NEVER recommend anybody to listen to Maggie Thatchers speeches when doing a 1300 mile point to point at high speed.
Hope that helps.
