I got the "Affinity" version...at the time it had the most seeds/leechers and it came down in less than an hour.

Using uTorrent/Mininova/ADSL 3.0MB.

Disappointed we didn't get a powerlap time for the ZR1, but it was another excellent episode after last week's good episode.

The other thing I've just thought about. Would any of the euro-tech boxes be able to do that many fast starts without something breaking? i.e. m5's diff exploding?

edit: zr1 laptime will probably be next week

Pretty awesome episode. That corvette is absolutely amazing.
It was pretty appalling that Chrysler refused to give a Challenger to the TG guys as their cars tend to get poor reviews by the show. Another vivid example why TG America probably won't be successful as the BBC version.

Damn good episode.

Anyone notice the Command & Conquer soundtrack music during Hammonds run through the twisty road?

So assuming the door is open, the Dodge Challenger can be started and driven a few hundred feet from the fob? That's pretty sloppy design.

I would think a lot of newer cars would have the same problem.

I hope the Abarth tuned Fiat 500 will be in GT5. Actually, they should have all the cars that appeared on Top Gear in GT5.

You know that middle eastern looking chick standing behind Hammonds? I think I've seen her in some amateur porn site before.

LOLOL "Do I get a wet lap?" "Which one would you like, moist or damp." Jeremy was totally hitting on that guy.

It's a shame Hammond tested the auto gearbox, that thing is a POS.

I want the SRT8 '09. New suspension, a real limited slip differential, possibly a bigger engine + more hp.

Yeah, remember when we were saying that the CTS-V looked ugly, and so forth?

It looks brilliant when its moving.
