Captain slow me be
That’s interesting. You could tell from the video that the ride was terrible in the one Jayemm drove. I wonder if something wasn’t right with the shocks? Do they still call them “Skyhook”?When I drove a MC20 last November, I never thought the ride was compromised at all.
I actually thought how civilised it was and could be easily used daily.
I get out of anything from the last ten years into my old Merc and wonder why they can’t get modern suspension right.I am lucky I get to drive a lot of new cars (Aston, Maserati, Audi etc) and I am ALWAYS glad to get back in my Vanquish, MC-Stradale, MC-Victory, Alpina. More comfortable, more usable, better visibility etc. I could go on. I sound like a dinosaur but tell me I am wrong?
That has been the consensus in most road tests….so perhaps JayEmm has this one wrong?That’s interesting. You could tell from the video that the ride was terrible in the one Jayemm drove. I wonder if something wasn’t right with the shocks? Do they still call them “Skyhook”?
I don’t think he’s got it wrong, look at how it moves over bumps in the video. It’s properly hard.That has been the consensus in most road tests….so perhaps JayEmm has this one wrong?
Wondering if it's necessary to handle all this power. Super cars these days have ridiculous amounts.I get out of anything from the last ten years into my old Merc and wonder why they can’t get modern suspension right.
Mid/late 80's the Japanese motorbike industry created a voluntary cap of 120BHP on bikes, we bought a ZX10 when they first came out and the mechanic at the first service told me that the green spots on the sides of the carbs indicated the restriction. Involved taking the tank off, removing all four carb tops and breaking/filing a tab off the sliders so they could full open! An hour after picking it up I was 'enjoying' the full experience Don't know the actual increase but it pointed the nose into the air an awful lot more!!!!Wondering if it's necessary to handle all this power.

I remember when japanese makers had a cap at c. 280bhp for the likes of rally legends like the Sti impresa and the evos.
These days is multiples of that original Japanese cap.
It’ll make it worse on the road. They struggle to keep the tyre in contact with the ground when they’re too hard.Wondering if it's necessary to handle all this power. Super cars these days have ridiculous amounts.

Sounds like the car may have had an issue. I’ll speak to Jayemm and see if I can get some more infoWhen I drove a MC20 last November, I never thought the ride was compromised at all.

Same as me. Used to like his stuff but he is a bit samey now and just grinding for clicks. Gets a bit bori g after a while and it must always be a challenge to stay fresh and keep reinventing yourself.the guy still sounds like he’s on a constant job interview to be a mid 90’s top gear presenter. I typically turn off after a few mins unfortunately.
It’s quite a skill to talk to camera and without any affectation (I’m sure I can’t do it either) Chris Harris is a good example tho
