    It is still quality but a bit disingenuous in my view.
    I'll give you that, but would much prefer to think he spent the money on extra tires rather than the huge film crew required to film it in one shot.

    Hell, as it is, he'd have had to hired at least several operators and an extendable boom to film it.


    That was probably it, he spent the money on tyres.

    I'm not saying he should have made it one long shot, old bean. Just that it's a bit of a cheat to make it look as if he did. Makes it more entertainment than sporting endeavour if you catch my drift.

    No, I thought the entertainment aspect to be plain; never meant to proffer it was done at a snatch, so to speak.

    People who could do that could afford to mow the weeds, first.
