Thread: Titanium testicles

When I was a kid, about 14, I was standing on a small bridge over the railway line in central France, when in the distance I saw a train coming. It was the Train à Grande Vitesse, the iconic TGV, and it was going full tilt, around 320kmh. Almost 40 years later, I can still feel the shock of the air pressure wave as the train passed a probably no more than 4-5m underneath me. I'll never forget it.

So when my boy showed me this video today, I tried to put this into the perspective of that train memory. This guy is going over half as fast again. In a car.

It is worth pointing out that in the world of nuts engineering, the Germans excel, but they still need a Brit to drive the damn car. Cos he was born with titanium testicles. German ones aren't tough enough...
