458 Spider on the Stelvio Pass

[sagarich]

Brilliant video by Jethro Bovingdon on the Car and Driver YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NGpDmWNqh4&fea...

Listen to that noise!

That is an aural symphony.

Personally speaking, and I know this will be controversial, but I much, much prefer him to Chris Harris.

possibly because a couple of lads in the office raved about Harris before I'd ever heard of him - built him up a bit, and I've met Jethro a couple of times through mates and he's a cracking lad.

Jethro and Chris have always had a similar presenting style, just look at the old Drivers Republic videos. I think he just went under the radar when he worked for CAR because they didn't harness the power of video when all the other mags did.... but thats a whole different topic.

Anyway, this video is just brilliant..... Don't tell the missess im selling the house ;-)

Fabulous.

He's almost exactly the same.

I thought it was him until they showed what he looks like, and even then he isn't radically different.

Must try harder...

(Before people get all serious I should point out that the last bit is just one of my little jokes.)

At least we get to see someone good testing new Ferraris.

Monkey will never get to drive the 458 Spider, F12 or new Enzo so it's good to have some good videos of them to watch without resorting to the truly, truly awful videos by Auto Express, Car, Top Gear or Autocar.

I second that, the latest F12 Autocar video review was bloody awful!

My biggest gripe with the Autocar vids is the cheesy pseudo-rock opening music.

Was only thinking the other day it's a bit long in the tooth now, been using it for years. Heard the full version on some random tv program a while back as well.

One of the best car reviews I've ever seen.

This is a great review by Chris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOKDP6AOU5A , check the comments

Great video, but...

...if you're going to make a video about the Stelvio Pass, please make sure that you don't spell it as "Stevlio" (4 mins 40s).

[Christoffer]

Thanks for the link, really enjoyed the video

The opening minute alone explains why almost no matter how good McLaren or AMG build a car it wont be quite the same
