“A Tuatara is a lizard that isn’t particularly fast.”

I was wondering about this choice of name myself, but I think it’s the car’s appearance, not the speed. A tuatara has a third eye on the top of its head.

May? “Captain Slow”, as they call him? You may mean Hammond.

Nope. He means Captain Slow. They put him behind the wheel of a Veyron on a very long straight and he got quite fast.

That’s right.
I remember the episode. They had a closed track and he put it over 230mph or something even faster.

I stand corrected, Sir.

That is if he doesn't get lost on the track.
