I figure we haven't really discussed the Speed series in the video offers area (I suppose that's not the place to do so, anyways), and I think there are some points to ponder
First off, I found this series to be better than any of Clarkson's DVDs! It was intriguing, fascinating and inspiring.
I guess, there's one thing that kept bugging me in the back of my mind. There were several scenes that involved airplanes, jets, and air pilot-related things (the multi-tasking test, hand-eye coordination, etc.). He kept saying that he has almost no experience in flying and so on and so forth.
Yet, thinking back to some Top Gear episodes, such as 01x01 where he states "In the F15, you don't get much sensation of speed, whereas in this [Zonda], you do!" or in 06x05 where tells Damon Hill (F1 star in a reasonably priced car segment) "That's why I stopped going up-side-down in fighter planes" (in response to Damon explaining why he retired from F1). He seems to imply that he used to be a pilot of some sort.
Am I missing something here?
