well, obviously they didn't. given the track record of american cars you can't expect the rest of the world to actually think that you guys are capable of making a half decent car!!

funny you're calling the europeans arrogant: you must be american

No, I'm German.

I normally don't dig cars, but top gear rules.

[GTaudiophile]

Zimu for elite! Thanks man.

Another episode come and gone!

 

[zimu]

the 700mb PDTV one is out. waiting for the 350mb version which should be out pretty soon.

 

[ballmode]

TOP GEAR DOG!

 

[Trikat]

YAY! MORE TOP GEAR GOODNESS!

 

[zimu]

ok i need to go to bed (1:30 here). there's no 350mb one up, although i see some stupid 423mb one up, apparently thats their "new higher quality filesize." umm. if i wanted higher quality, i'd do the 700mb one wouldn't i??

anyway. i've just put up the 700mb one into my sig link, i'll change that tomorrow hopefully with the 350mb one. its a .tar.gz file (moved it from one server to another, easiest way to move so many files, and was too lazy to extract, plus more of a pain in the ass to download 30 parts!), just use winrar to retrieve the folder.

One of the funniest episodes I've seen...and one of the few that doesn't have one super car!

 

[johnjbruin]

Thanks SO much zimu.

 

[zimu]

ok i've put up the 423mb version, apparently that's going to be the regular size from now on.

i'll delete the 700mb version at around 11AM EST just in case some of you want to grab it in the early hours or are currently downloading it, just so i don't cut you off.

Umm, you know that the Exige S was faster round the track than a 575M and a Gallardo to name but two?

 

[Supermercado]

Awesome episode. I felt a little bit was lacking from the previous episode but the return of the Cool Wall, plus the hysterical amphibious car segments, more than made up for it. I was laughing so hard when Hammond rolled up in his van - the music was hilarious and then he comes crawling out of the back. I cried from laughing when Jeremy rolled the Toybota at the end.

 

[timosyy]

Its interesting that they criticize the Z06 for its sat-nav (lol? "iraq restaurants?" maybe "middle-eastern cuisine"...), and that its too loud/not fit for everyday driving... yet I'd imagine the Exige has the same faults (built for the track), just didn't bother to pick up on it.

 

[0roo0roo]

heh the boat cars bit was hilarious good stuff.

 

[zimu]
