I didn't realize Clarkson was the one that narrated the Ferrari vid.

That video is from one of Clarksons old videos (Yes, pre DVD), and was talking about the Ferrari test driver whose job it was to push them to destruction. I think the theory behind that detonation was a very hot engine, sudden heavy braking to stop shifting all of the oil to the front of the engine. Insta-seize

Normally this moment takes place after I've discussed last night's Goldeneye multiplayer performance with myself or finished whistling the theme to Macgyver for the 10th time.

Its scary as shit to drive, handles like shit, but its basically scrapes frame, so it looks kinda cool, hahaha. |

To our horror, we soon found out why: the morons had slotted the rear upper control arm where it meets with the wheel. As if that wasn't good enough, they decided to help locate the upper suspension bolt in its new...slot...by tack-welding on a washer on both sides! Our heads nearly exploded. Needless to say, we advised our friend to buy new upper control arms. |
