Idris Elba has come a long way since The Office. Seems he's also a petrolhead who respects car culture. My ninja.

Cool how he features the 86 in Episode 2. Not cool how he butchers DK's name... "This is Keiichi Toochewy."

Since the office? You do know he had a career way before the office, it was just a cameo really.

You do know most people don't have an IMDb database in their head to know every actor's filmography since their breakout role, right? I first noticed him in The Office because network television is more widely accessed than HBO. At least it was in my household. Should everyone know what his debut role was (before The Wire) without looking it up?

I had no idea Idris Elba was such a car enthusiast. Awesome. Idris is a badass actor.

I've heard of Idris Elba but only from Thor (Heimdall) and the new Mandela (Mandela) movie.

Great find - I love listening to anyone who truly loves motoring and is willing to learn and listen without ever getting preachy.

Learned a lot about cars today. Thanks!
