Clarkson Drives 250 mph car

This is an entertaining read. Well known environmentalist and humanitarian Jeremy Clarkson writes of his experience driving the Bugatti Veyron in the Times Online:

You learn to raise an eyebrow at what’s only a foible, and then, as the road straightens out, steady yourself for Prince Albert’s boiler to gird its loins and play havoc with the space-time continuum. No, really, you come round a bend, see what appears to be miles and miles of dead straight road, bury your foot in the carpet and with a big asthmatic wheeze, bang, you’re instantly at the next bend, with your eyebrow raised again.

From behind the wheel of a Veyron, France is the size of a small coconut. I cannot tell you how fast I crossed it the other day. Because you simply wouldn’t believe me.

It's basically my car: a VW Passat estate, with a fancy bodykit and smaller wing mirrors.*
