Baffled me for a while as well. Then i took some long exposure night pics at the 24hrs of Daytona and saw this. Then i remember how LEDs work and it clicked. This exposure was for only 6 tenths of a second. So that 41 flashed that many times in about a half a second as it passed the camera.

The more you know huh? I figured it was just them editing the videos to try to make them more dynamic. Thanks for the clear-up.

I bought mine because it's a combination of milk transporter and it works in real world. I doubt there are many as good at both around.

You should see my best friend's 1962 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. Fully restored, and an absolute beauty. I'll post some pictures later.

The more you bitch the more threads we'll start!

Agree wholeheartedly with Lups. Top Gear is over. The three of them need to move on, whether it's to a new show where they can get back to the roots of what made Top Gear great, or to something different and new to their lives. It's been great, and it's over.

I wonder how much of what has been going downhill for the show in recent years is wholly created by the BBC and their controls on the three of them. I don't find it to be any coincidence that the more drama there was over things that were said in episodes (India, Mexico, Vietnam, Falklands, the mumbling overreaction, etc) the more scripted the show became. The presenters (all three) weren't allowed to just fly from the cuff anymore. It's painfully obvious in the last season that they were totally fed up with it and nearly going through the motions.
