Ben, this is great. Similar vibe to Top Gear back around when you started. Feels comfy like an old pair of shoes. More please. 😊

Great video. If you get to the eastern US, I would love to have you drive my mother's 1934 Packard Super Eight Coupe Roadster and compare it to her brother's 1936 4 1/2 litre Bentley Drop Head Coupe. Might be a fun video. American vs British 'sports cars'.

I will still watch Last of the Summer Tour, but they have descended into full farce…….. Harris is the only good thing attached to TopGear……. The best of the net is Harry Metcalfe, Car Pervert and JayEmm…… Tim and his Shmuseum drives me potty……… multiple financed hyperbole 😳………… duplication of types and constant chopping and changing, unlike Harry with his harem of old school sluts….. ❤ Just do more……… helmets, you’re better out than in 🏁🇬🇧

Ben would make an excellent James Bond. He has the looks, the charm, and he could do all his own driving stunts. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he is also a crack shot with a Walther PPK. Well as much as anyone could be a crack shot with a tiny gun like that beyond ten meters. I'm trying to correlate the last four Bond movies with Ben outing himself as the Stig when he released his book. OK, I just took a moment to read Ben's Wikipedia page, and can now see he didn't need his reputation as the Stig to get an in with the movie people. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Collins_(racing_driver)
