Please, Please, PLEASE - less tests on track, more on road.
Brilliant work, and has given me renewed interest in DR...

Well well...
I'm pretty sure no one here has been more critical and downright angry than myself about DR. Indeed I thought the boys just about let their ego's get the best of them...but alas somewhere somehow they changed....
I've just had a look at their newest video of the C63/M3/Lexus, and its very very good. I'd say its about the best performance road car video I've yet seen from anyone. Granted its about 5 months late, but they actually did it.
Harris has let his arrogance down a very good bit and its just three great drivers and three (well maybe 2 cars) great cars- on the best of roads, and direct talk about what they can do...and for real this time- actually on video for time.
I'd say if they can turn maybe 1 or 2 of these tests out each month they will make it big. These video's could be the standard bearers for anyone on the internet who want the real deal on what the best cars can do.
What also makes it work is that they act like 3 regular people with bright, and alive personalities- something autocar, evo and the like won't be able to copy. They have got something. Congratulations. Been dreaming of such a thing since my first call to Barker 20 years ago. I asked him, tell me what the cars were really like? Granted he often did a damn fine job telling me.
Note for Rich. I can remember about decade ago pleading with you to make tests with this level of specificity and you basically told me to blank off. Well I'm glad you have, and I hope you make it.
