That Clio V6 is crazy, "...It catipults you back in to this world of G-Force...." quote the old English dude.

I wish I lived in the UK to have the chance to drive a car like that.

Are there Euro Type-Rs? It looks like they were driving on the right side of the expressway and the other cars were German.

SlammedBlueEM2 is on a distinguished road

I believe it was S2000man01 that said that engines are tested for hours at their limits in the factory - just as the car has already been tested to go at it's max speed.
