Stumbled on this while I was browsing.

I'd love to get hold of the full original film.

It almost looks like a video game.

Seem to remember him pootling around a corner doing what looked like about 70mph, with a comment to the camera "that was quite a difficult corner."

Made me chuckle when you compare what he thought was a difficult corner to some of the vids you can find on Youtube.

ETA Just watched the video, and it's not the same one that I was thinking of.

Its when u see it on video you realis ehow fast it is! My fastest was 175mph in a 360 although the raod was empty it felt fast, but when u see it on video it does seem a lot faster, mind u he went up to an indicated 315+ which 195 which is a bit faster than me!
Cracking video though and acceleration at high speeds pretty awsome. rckon the car mut be a bit tweaked as the acceleration at 150mph plus is pretty staggering!

I was about to ay it doesnt realy seem that fast anymore until it got to the last 30 seconds where he nudges 320 KPH!!!!

One of the things that blows me away is just how quickly he manages to scrub-off speed when necessary. Amazing when you think that the F40 was launched in 1987 and cars with even more impressive performance have been born since. I'd still have an F40 over anything else though!
