This is the best Top Gear segment I've seen: informative and funny. Captain Slow is the go-to guy for all serious Top Gear presentations. James on the Vauxhall he's testing: "When you select the 'max performance' mode, the instruments turn red!!!" Margaret Calvert on James May: "I suppose my work is why I wind up being interviewed by people like you." Irony and sarcasm: right up Pilote's alley.
