Good thread this one.
Here it is more evidence of Jeremy Clarkson's sheer talent:
Quote:
[About the Toyota Prius]
Describing how quiet the Prius is:
"I am driving along now slowly in a village. And that means I am running greenly and silently on the electric motor only. See the trees smile at me as I waft by and watch the children run into the road because they havent heard me coming."
Then he comments on the screen panel...
"This I think is a particularly good way of distracting you from the child who has run into the road having not heard you."
Commenting on the Prius leisurely performance:
"Actually I'm being unfair. The Prius is so slow the child could run into the road, retrieve his ball and grow to puberty before you ever actually hit him".
Clarkson mentions the only "positive" (not exactly very good one...) aspect of the Prius:
"I suppose, I would like the idea, of living in a village, where all the cars were this quiet. But then, you would have to learn the green cross code again. Look left, look right, look left, listen, walk, wonder as you go through the windscreen why the hell you never heard it coming!" |
