Very cool video. It even includes REAL Brit rock for your listening enjoyment.

Why am I sure a similar scene will play out in the next bond movie?

Very cool :D

Don't know about that. I read somewhere recently that the new 'Bond' doesn't know how to drive a manual transmission. :laugh:

Cool video. :thumbup:

Really? I didn't know that. I wonder why the new guy is catching so much grief over it then.

well, yes, but the actor playing Bond should at least have a valid mancard... :)

wasnt he shifting gears when he was with the chick in the very begining of goldeneye? or was that just some of that hollywood trickery.

Did I hear right that the Lotus has 2 camshafts, and switches to the higher performance one on demand?? :eek:

HTF does that work?

I don't think he meant two separate cams. Probably more like VTEC style variable timing.

But he also said the Apache had troubles locking him in on radar because of the plastic body. Would that make you less/invisible to police radar? :)

Might have better luck with the chin mounted chain gun. A few tracers might have spiced things up a bit. :laugh:

Top Gear is my very favourite show. Jeremy Clarkson is going to have my baby.
