‘Oh look at that: The smoke grenades fit right in the cup holders!’

Many, *many* thanks to John White at the Winnipeg Free Press for posting this video and exhorting people to watch it. He calls it “the most entertaining 11:16 you will spend online this year” and, with the year almost over, he might be right.

I’ve had numerous friends tell me that I should get into the BBC car show “Top Gear” before, but this is the first clip I’ve really watched. Well worth it. I thought that the Blues-Brothers-style car chase through a shopping mall would be the top, but then they used the Ford Fiesta in a beach assault with the Royal Marines.

    Top Gear is a great show and I highly recommend watching more!

    “What if I go to a shopping centre and get chased by baddies?”

    It *can* happen.

    Top Gear rules the roost. Look for the one where they test the maneuverability of a Lotus Exige by pitting it against an Apache attack helicopter — if the chopper can get missile-lock, the race is over.

    I clearly need more cup holders for my car.
