top gear go to magic wood
October 07, 2007, 08:54:32 pm
The top gear team have just driven three very expensive cars past magic wood. They suggest the san bernardino pass is one of the best driving roads in europe, I can only suggest that if you do go and try it, you don't do so in a hired lancia ypsilon - which detracts from the experience somewhat.

Amazing. Like the Clio V6 but twice as cylinder-y. I'd love a clio V6 though! Except it doesn't corner.

*Sighs* the mighty multijet... no. It was rubbish. Only with James Foley have I driven a more gutless hire car (peugeot 1007). Here it is :

Found it very interesting that a professional racing driver had a full epic trying to control it. Only a concept etc etc.

Why go for a car with all the acceleration of an arthritic snail and the worlds most stupid entry system  :-\
