Ordinary Guys 650S
Discussion
I think it's just the amazement at the car which the guys are displaying that does it for me Bosh.
The review is hardly in depth and the conclusions probably wouldn't lead you to spending a quarter of a million quid on a car but I don't think that is the point here, they are just everyday guys enjoying the experience. Most Supercar reviews are driving god journalists using more and more convoluted metaphors to describe the performance and handling, they seem to judge every car by how well they can drift it at 120 on a track and say stuff like "I'm picking up a hint of understeer here" as they hurtle into a 140mph curve. This isn't what ownership of these things means to me, it means exactly what the guys on this vid are feeling.
I've only been fortunate enough to own stuff like this in the last ten years and I still get that undiluted thrill whenever an empty road presents itself. The vast majority of petrolheads won't own one and when they do get to drive one their reaction won't be a clinical appraisal of diffs and ratios it will be
"OH MY f
kING GOD FOR fkS SAKE!!", exactly like the guys here.
Not saying people like CH don't do wonderful stuff, of course they do and it's invaluable but it's nice to see people just laughing out loud at the sheer exuberance of being let loose in a modern Supercar.
