They missed a trick on the cruise control lap - they could have used the adaptive cruise and got another car in from to "toe" them round. Mine will brake pretty heavily when needed.
And it could have comically failed leading to cars comically driving into each other, for comedy. Missed opportunity indeed.
fair point, it would have gone that way.

Flintoff on top of the Bentley - he just doesn't give a fvck does he?!
I think the 3 of them work really well.
Bentley have fucked that up though - far too Audi for my taste now.

I liked that Bently. Reminded me of Steed's Lister Jag in The Avengers for some reason.

I liked the Bentley too, despite knowing that I would NEVER consider owning one - even if my Euromillions ticket came up trumps.

Aye. Flintoff is pretty fearless. And like you I enjoy watching the three of them. Frequently make me laugh

A peak heart rate of 160bpm suggests he’s not fearless, but he certainly seems able to prevent that showing outwardly.

I'll phrase it another way. He enjoys the feeling and uses it to help motivate him rather than feeling the fear. It was one of the reasons he could perform at the highest level in cricket especially in high pressure situations.

Regardless of that he'd be classed as a 1st pick for your team in a competitive environment because of this attribute.

Good episode I feel like there's always at least one where they let CH do what he wants in a series. Nice Moss tribute.

The two minute review of the Honda E was ok but the rest was definitely not for the likes of us
