That Clarkson is a wedge (simplest form of a tool). He hates Porsches.

Oh man. Completely forgot about that one. There's the one where they put the small car on the pneumatic ram and launch it off the cliff at the target with a trailer in the middle too.....

Now you know why we ruled the world way back then and Sharkey shoved a 3.9L into a GT3

BTW... they did not give a heads up to the Air Force about the height and power of the launch.... they nearly got shot LOL! Amazed they were allowed to do it

I did not know that. British airforce has a faster response time than US. All our radars are pointed outward

I think it is a reverse of fortune as far as history goes. England enjoy world power status and suffer the same burden as US now as far as trying to police the world. Now it's our turn . There are just too many regulation and OSHA rules in US to allow any ingenious idea. Thank god we still issue visa to Brits so we can keep these mental idea going. You can always run to the British embassy if you break an OSHA rule ... lol

That car BTW was a called a Robin Reliant... in the end they stopped making them as they fell over round corners. Bet your GT3 cant do that!
