The wife absolutely hates the acceleration.
She knows it's coming, simply grabs hold of her seat belt and tries to curl up into a ball.

I cannot tell a lie - I was referring to the car.

Top Gear Episode 2 still up on iplayer

JC Track Testing the 'Mono'

'I've just wet myself'

'At 70 your face starts to move about'

'And then when you get to 80 it starts to come off'

'At 90 you're forced to accept, that really, you need a helmet'

No wonder, as lots have commented
Bonnet looks like its 'bout to be ripped off our Sub's

Maybe the real purpose of the scoop is to look through it to see where you are going when the bonnet opens at 100mph?

Post of the month for me by a country mile. Wish I had known that before pumping up the hp and more importantly, torque on all my cars. That means I could have stuck a really tall box in my old Escort 1.6 Ghia and with the length of the M3, could have hit warp 10. I have clearly been going at it **** about face all these years.

Learn something new every day.
