i seriously think tiff is the new stig, cause when tiff drives, he slouches his back, and i've noticed the new stig slouches his back also when driving

I think the turbos still spool and cool off for a minute or two after you turn the car off. I noticed that in my alpina b3 biturbo and it uses the same engine. Also noticed the same in a friends 335. I could be wrong though

You DO have to wait a couple minutes to cool down the turbos after driving it. Specially after high loads. Turbos can go very hot and if u turn it off they keep spooling and there is no oil circulation anymore. I always wait at least 2 min, plus I try to drive slowly the last minutes before parking.

I'm pretty sure he stalled in that 1st video. It lurged as he was about to get out

I picked the black gloss mirror cap; like the contrast with body color.

IMO tiff is a much better presenter than the top gear boys, whose antics are a bit old hat nowadays - you can see every joke coming a mile off. And the drivers on fifth gear would kick their asses

Still not a VO fan, should have had an AW 1M...
