The vid I watched looked as if he dropped his phone. There is nothing on that stretch of road to make that happen.

That was Richard Hammond and someone already linked the YouTube video of it earlier this week. "A new drag race" or something like that.

that episode is a re-run.....and it's fun to watch every time it comes on.


they seem to think that their eurofighter is the best in the world though........i think they've not yet met an f22 or an f18.  :D

Yup. He drives it down a massive straightaway on a test track. Always found it funny they put Captain Slow in it to go fast.

Hammond was last racing it against the Eurofighter. Clarkson was first when he raced them from Italy to England with Hammond and May flying a small plane.

probably the best 4th gen fighter out there, your own USAF boss Gen John P. Jumper certainly thinks so:
"I have flown all the air force jets. None was as good as the Eurofighter."

and yes they have met, and beat hornets. that was before the raptor though (more than 2x the cost of typhoon btw), better than the only 5th gen in service? no. then again we're not planning to declare war on the US anytime soon ...
