Way back in 2004 I took part in a TV series for Men & Motors called Top Dog. Basically, they pitted two cars against each other to see which was best. This particular episode was US v's UK muscle cars. It was meant to be the Viper v's a TVR Cerbera but the TVR pulled out at the last minute, so they substituted with a Noble M12 GTO 3R. Not is any way a muscle car, so not really a comparison, but it was fun anyway.

It took place at Classic Cars in London and Bruntingthorpe for the track filming - got to take the Viper on the full 2 mile runway @ 295km/h (183mph) :-). I had no idea I was expected to 'perform' on camera thinking it was just the car they wanted, so I felt a bit self concious!

Anyway, I never posted the video on YouTube until now due to copyright issues, but seeing as Men & Motors no longer exists and it was 10 years ago, who cares!

If you have 23 minutes of apre time and want a laugh, watch this:
