@MickBelcker F*ck you America just because, no other nation in the world likes you and you waste your money so you can never afford to buy a good car doesnt mean you need to take it out on everyone else. As well were not under breeding our selves out of existence there was a recent baby boom shows how much America now about international news.

I wonder how the Exige would compare with the Nissan GT-R R35. Sure, I know the GT-R goes faster than the Exige in a straight, but how would they compare in the corners?
@tarkinfish
yea, …
@tarkinfish
yea, that’s what I figured.. but that would mean less rocket pods… the 64 in this video carries pretty much the standart layout.
Anyways: it does the job of killing jeremy just fine
@EliteGhost001 well …
@EliteGhost001 well there are four hardpoints on the wings so you actually get a total of 16 possible, but I think the WAH-64 tends to reserve one for the CRV7 FFRs (the ones jeremy clarkson mentioned it can carry 76 of), so you have 3 hardpoints x 4 hellfire missiles I guess they just didn’t have 12 equipped on the show. Not really nessecary I guess xD. So yeah the capacity (or atleast the normal maximum) is 12 but of course here there are only 8 equipped.
Lotus is well …
Lotus is well suited, if you are rich wankers that have no children – That is why it fits the Brits, who are under breeding themselves out of existence. Nobody wants this glorified lunch box here
