That Zonda though, Nice wail to it
+1, bugatti didn't sound anything like expected. That Zonda on the other hand sounded lurrrrrvely!

Bless little Hammond's face when Clarkson was about to reveal which was fastest

How rubbish was that? - the range computers reading 0 when they drove them another 30/40 miles & still had 100 more left in the tank.
Can you imagine the reserve light on your bike coming on with 160 miles left in the tank

Issall relative, is it not?

The needle on my old Cavaliers dropped down below 0 before the petrol warning light came on. Not that I'm expecting the Vauxhall Cavalier to be built to the same degree of finesse as a jag, or even a VW...

I knew about that anyway. im shocked they didnt. I cant drive and I knew. LMAO. My rents Avensis does the same. Its to make sure you dont run out of course. Clarkson could have easy won that race if he knew anything about cars. LOL

Aye, it is a built in idiot proof mechanism which still catches out idiots

Aye, but the added fake drama wouldn't be there then. The tests/challenges are rigged slightly, its so obvious at times like in the Truckist one.

But 150 miles worth or more of 0 range? that just makes you learn to ignore it. That's an error of 15% which is pretty rubbish IMO
