That clip was so much fun. Saw it online a few months ago. Still wonderful the second time around.

My favorite part of Monday's episode was Stig's run around the test track in the Caterham. That was so berkeleying gnarly I watched it three times. His reflexes as that thing got LOOSE at ludicrous speed were just amazing. A truly mindblowing lap--that beat the Veyron. Now that's grassroots.

The thing is, a Seven (and the other featherweights) tells you what it's going to do ahead of time. So it's not that you need awesome reflexes, the car is a great tool.

I want one so so so so so so so much.

Or an Atom.

Yeah, but as our FM buddies have (very quietly and humbly) pionted out, they have beat Atoms with their kits.

Imagine what you could do with a Turbo or Supercharged Miate setup under one of those.

that was the first Stig lap where I thought he was driving better than a good road racer or autocrosser.
