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

It looks brilliant when its moving.

The newest one looks even better compared to the past couple of models.
Art in motion? Ok, maybe not, but you're right. They do look fantastic on the move.
Jet black with some brushed rims (not too crazy about chromed rims) and I think I would donate the first born to science to get one.

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.

And the challenger also looks most 1960s/1970s.

I always don't get it. Why do people llike to buy a new car that looks old instead of futuristic?

I found it pretty good, considering that the star was an American actor. It was quite funny watching Marke Mark run round the Top Gear track :laugh:

I enjoyed his jabs at Tom Cruise too.

Overall, a pretty decent episode. Seemed like a mash of smaller segments compared to last week's road trip across the USA.
 
I thought this ep was pretty boring. What was with the v8 blender? Was not funny at all. And then they tease with the cool wall during the blender sketch but never even go to it. Was cool to see all of those finnish drivers though.

The Veyron's laptime was sorely disappointing!

Not altogether surprising, though. It really didn't LOOK that fast, and the weight has to cost it around a small track like the TG one.

Too bad they gave James the Zonda F to test - his heart really doesn't seem to be in those kinds of shenanigans, and he isn't great at it. This whole season so far has felt a little flat, actually. I still love the show, but it's been a bit disappointing of late.

Really? I think this season is much better than last season.
 
jeremy drove like jeremy and still got to blackpool. heck, if he'd have driven like himself the whole way (plenty of gas left) he would have beaten hamster handily.


remember back in 2003 or 2004 when he drove the big diesel audi to edinburgh and back on a tank?

That was a cool episode with the diesel. I liked the camera in the gas tank too. You could see he was virtually runnning on fumes in the tank.
 
I'm actually quite surprised the Veyron did as well as it did, I expected something closer to 1:20. It's much more of a grand tourer car than a track car. Had it been tested when it was first released it would have had the fastest time on the board. Another good episode, the Jaguar is pretty amazing. Do all cars drive as far with 0 miles remaining as Top Gear cars? I remember the Audi episode and Jeremy drove quite a distance in that car as well with "no" gas.
 
Catching up on this show, watching episode 3. God I love this show. Hamster riding around in a "chair," May getting a lesson in dirt road racing from the legendary Mika Häkkinen, Clarkson making manly V8 w/ the Corvett engine, and Mark Wahlberg talking about going to a different church than Tom Cruise. "I'm at the with Jesus, baby." Just brilliant!

Watching episode 4 now. May gets to test drive the Pagani Zonda F Roadster and Bugatti Veyron. Holy crap, the Veyron totally raped the Zonda in the drag race. POWER!

lolol yep!

i just LOVED when may went "i think, i know what to do at this point...................POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" and the V12 from the zonda just keeps roaring! that was freaking amazing!!
 
how did it have that much gas left on the jag? it hit empty looong ago and even the computer said range of 0 miles yet even after the race he says it has fuel enough to do another 120miles or so.
