    Hammond is the only person who can make a Miata look big

    That settled it: I'll buy the dog

    What dogs lack in top speed, they easily make up in cornering and acceleration.

    Before they said otherwise in the video, I was expecting a Greyhound Bus

    The animal drive discussion is still one of my favorite Top Gear studio bits of all time. Charming, inspired, almost-works-but-doesn't-quite...classic Top Gear.

    Definately. Best car I have ever owned, best car I have ever driven. Perfect handling, perfect power, even sounds great.

    Lots of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory music in this video. I think I've heard the entire soundtrack on Top Gear now.

    adopt a retired greyhound: very sweet and very entertaining :)

    that extreme acceleration 0-45 mph in 1 second explains the huge bruise on my leg when a greyhound [a rescue dog] I was releasing off her lead used my legs as a starting block. the force of her accelaration knocked me backwards. These hounds are real Queens of Speed, even the slow ones are fast. A split second is what separates a champ from an 'also ~ran' but in pet terms they are all winners.
