[@mattmattmatt131313]

Are those tires always in the exact same position? Maybe it's the camera angles, but I was watching some of the older Top Gear footage (Matt LeBlanc, Rowan Atkinson) and they don't seem that close in those shots.

[@SergeantMoetz]

I honestly and wholeheartedly think that you'd have a pretty decent shot at being a future Top Gear host. You would represent a whole new generation of car enthusiasts, a quality that current TG is missing in any of their hosts. You shine in front of the camera and you have the humour and driving skills to back it up.

Into Gambon and across the line! That was freakin awesome. The footage looked great you definitely looked quick out there man. 6:02 Neeeooowww Heading towards the follow through and Bentley you were so close to that barrier you left nothing on the right as tight as you could get it. My brother has an 86GT Auto it’s fun to drive. It’s not stock though with body kit and performance exhaust manifold giving 230 BHP. The thing really grips up well on acceleration. So I don’t know what a stock manual version is like in comparison but I’m sure it’s fun all the same.
