This might reflect poorly on me but I slogged thru the entire thing. :-)

Mini rant:

What's up with this fascination (obsession? fetish?) for spinning donuts in cars? Is there some sort of unwritten obligation nowadays that any car video must include a segment of the car going round and round.....and round and round and round....and then round and round and round six more times....with smoke bellowing from the rear tires? Uh.....we pretty much got the idea after the first couple go-rounds. The car has enough power to break the rear tires loose. Got it!

In this video such activity was actually rather abbreviated, thankfully.

I'm no prude about this sort of thing. I love the smell of burning rubber as much as the next guy and I myself have always enjoyed the occasional burnout. But, for the love of god, do we have to be totally mindless about it?

OK, I feel better,thanks :-)


Cheers
DD

I always felt that once one went beyond High School, that sort of thing was a bit declasee. Of course, some never do move on after High School.

Doug is on the mark.
This is supposed to be a dignified "gentleman's express" not some boy racer's dream.
Don't get me started on drifting, which our reviewer does a **** poor job of.

There is a video, somewhere on the internet, of some horse's **** doing the same thing, repeatedly, with a lovely Bentley Arnage.

Idiots abound.
