The Best Car for Escaping from Evil Villains.....

HALOTHANE · 11-19-2011, 04:12 PM

SPOILER ALERT:

To my great surprise and enormous satisfaction the 1M wins the \"real life\" Top Gear test in the \"Top Gear At the Movies\" DVD. In an obstacle course filled with tanks, helicopters, a hellcat, and more crayola ammo than Toys R Us, the BMW was hit 67 times vs the Cayman R 79 hits. More importantly, the 1M never lost control while the Cayman R spun out once. Who cares about track times and drag races? Here is some \"real world\" testing....you never know when you will need to escape from Dr. No. Cheers! lol:

1M: "Really good windscreen washer, which surprisingly turned out to be a useful feature in a chase situation."

Cayman R: "Windscreen washer's no where near as good as the BMW's. I can't see a thing."

Was it just me or was anybody else tortured by the sound of the paintballs hitting the cars? Man if anyone shot my 1M up with paintballs I would probably go aggro on them.

Thanks for the link.

I finally decided to upgrade my old 3Gs to iOS 5.0, and this DVD takes almost exactly the same amount of time as an iPhone takes to get from 4.3 to 5.1!

Huzzah!.
