Tiff Needell Drives An F1 Car vs. E60 M5 (vid)...

Simply amazing. The M5 is an amazingly fast piece of machinery. Faster than the Ferrari Stradale on The Ring but it looks like a wheezing Pinto next to the F1 car.

Hahaha that was awesome!

That F1 made that otherwise very fine piece of automobile look like a big fat pig

That being said, I thought Jeremy Clarkson was annoying until I saw this guy coming in his pants 3 times while test driving the E60 M5...

Thanks for the vid!

That is amazing. Thanks for the video. Does anyone know why Tif left top gear? He is so much better than the current host of top gear...

Yeah but the difference between Tiff and Jeremy Clarkson is Tiff is an ex Formula one driver and really knows how to drive.

I love Jeremy and think he is a much better host than Tiff was. He makes the show hilarious. I have every video of Top Gear ever made.

That was great. I like seeing the F1 car run, and I love HER trying to do her best in that M5. Cant be easy with an F1 car shaking the ground as it comes up behind. Great vid, thanks for posting it.

Very Impressive video. We've had the BMW F1 sitting in our plant a few times. I would like to take some pics of some of the cars we have on display sometimes, but I can't take a camara inside.
