Yes, I will lambast him with howls of derisive laughter, Bruce. He uses a monkey as a stunt double!

The publisher, AutoExpress, lifts some video of another driver, I think he looks the man we all love to envy, the magic monkey himself, Chris Harris -- here's a snap shot taken from the video as the driver does a little monkey magic and lets loose the 4.0 for a bit of gratuitous oversteer. Watch the video from about the 2:22 mark and you'll see a distinct change in vehicle dynamics ...
Excellent, one of my favorite sketches ... well spotted "video editing Bruce" ...

You have to admit he is pretty calm going over 300 km/h on a public road, which is a little foolish because there was other much slower traffic that could easily have not seen him coming. I don't know if they set up everything before and closed off the road.

Relax guys, he is on the Autobahn... No way he can go 320 on a dutch motorway and get away with it or not run out of road in 5 min. And I am pretty sure the tongue wagging was done while driving very slow and edited in later.
