New advert for "Not Top Gear" on C.5 (sorry Tiff). Strapline runs something like "Petrolheads, feed your passion".
Question it - if you're a petrolhead, what feeds yours?
As fun as it is to watch VBH's grin go into fifth gear and hear her giggle of delight erupt mid-slide, it's still not enough 4 me.
What does it for me is the bark of rapidly opening Webers, or flicking out of overdrive, late breaking for a 3rd gear corner, or the kickdown (sad but true I do own one autobox, albeit trying to control a rocketship) on a rapid overtake when the only reason you're risking it is knowing that the power in reserve is rather more than adequate.
What about your petrolhead passion? Is it the creak of well worn leather seats in your aging Aston? The mix of smells of wood, petrol and leather in a Mk2? Or are your passions more voyeristic, admiring the curves of a D-type? Join the queue ...
