impressive, looks like the whole inner & outer wing buckled when the brake disc hit the ground.

something about top gear makes it so much better than other motoring programs (or is it just me?)

It's more polished and looks more professional I think.

Also, no adverts means it's a whole 33% longer

Not fun when it happens to you riding in your mates old banger of Ford Fiesta but in retrospect it was funny realising where the wheel had landed, right down the road...
