Jeremy Clarkson is quite funny

On driving at over 200mph:
"Happily, stopping distances become irrelevant because you won’t see the
obstacle in the first place. By the time you know it was there, you’ll
have gone through the windscreen, through the Pearly Gates and be half way
across God’s breakfast table."

And exhaust noise:

"Hit 3000rpm in an Aston Martin Vanquish for instance and a little valve diverts all the waste gases away from the catalytic converters and silencers and into what sounds like the room where God practises shouting."
