Top Gear Tonight

[VladTepes]

It's a bloody repeat of last weeks.

Having said that, if you didn;t see last week - go an watch NOW. The Bugatti Veyron (fastest production car ever) being raced across Europe. Envy is my new middle name.

SBS must have thought Top Gear wouldn;t rate against the Oscars, so they bunged on the repeat. Me personally any excuse NOT to watch the Oscars will do.

[rangieman]

I didnt see it last week so i was happy to watch it anyway:D

[mcrover]

No it was a supercar special.

Had the stigs best times in supercars, the race between the Buggati and the Cessna, the crappy old maseratti and the Lambo roadster with the stupid roof.
I hadn't seen a few of them so I thought it was great.

Great to see that Buggati again mmmmmm

I'd consider swapping the disco for that, but only consider it and take a free test drive.

A supercar special, Oo kay. ( I typed this in slow motion to simulate disbelief.)

Shorty.

[VladTepes]

The Bugatti is **** off road.

[shorty943]

The Bugatti is **** off road.

4 blank spaces, so it is not "not off road", can't be "king off road", it gets scared crossing on to the verge. Nope, pass, next question please.

Shorty.

Same, I was not happy about missing last weeks show now all is good. :)

Awesome car never seen that before. It looked jag like from the front.

[Quiggers]

I could watch top gear for hours and days

and days and days

and I wish I was producing it

it's sooooo good

it should be on for hours at a time, then we could catch up to current.....

I thought Jeremys description of the Cessna 182 as a washing machine was a bit rich - they're more like an early Vee dub beetle with wings;)

been there

[BigJon]

I wonder how many Lambos get driven on dirt roads like that yellow one was? :twisted:

[GURU7OF9]

Top Gear rules ok ! it is FKN MINT !

some people liken me to slim shady !

You obviously don't know what the front of a jag looks like.

[Quiggers]

Someone in the car style business gave a fascinating description of this type of front end design - as once seen on the Edsel - and currently applied to the new Subaru Tribeca - its known as 'the flying vagina'.....

Well, I've owned three so I have a reasonable idea.

The Bugatti grille isn't even a good modern rendition of the original Bug grilles.

Ron dont be modest


He has one in his driveway

[VladTepes]

Why ? Did it break ?

Ha who'd own an English car eh ?! ROFLMAO

[Quiggers]

Had English cars - bizarre - almost bizarre as a Ford owned LandRover with an ex GM Buick engine and a german gearbox, jap aircon, Aussie aluminium and... well... love the LandRover, some one has to.....

The donk and box in the 2500 PI Triumph were pretty special tho'......:cool:

Probably doesn't really matter what the front looks like, most people will see the back of it!:D

[Quiggers]

Hmmmm. I didn't mean to offend anyone, let alone anyone driving a flying, umm, butt.

But many cars are so beautiful, unlike some of their owners...see above:twisted:

GQ

[moose]

No offence taken here, yours was just the post I decided to quote!:D

[DiscoDave]

Yes it was rather weird having a repeat of a segment that was on two weeks earlier (I know the whole show wasn't a repeat) but I still watched every second of it. Grinning like crazy with Clarkeson in the Veyron saying "I wish this was a late-night show then I could tell you what I really think about this car. It's bleeping bleep bleep fantastic!" and at the bit where he had to "go to DEFCON 3". LOL.:D

I so want one - just for a day!

[VladTepes]

and then the next day, and then the next.

As long as:

a) someone else is paying the fuel / insurance/ repair bills
b) you're in Europe where is many places there are more logical speed limits than here
c) you're in Europe where even small towns have roads of a higher quality than the so called "National Highway' in Australia
d) Your life insurance is paid up.

I don't think you could afford to run it by the time you payed for life and car insurance on that thing.

[Jeff]

Can the Veyron tow a 900kg trailer?

[BigJon]

I was just having a troll around wrecked exotics (www.wreckedexotics.com (http://www.wreckedexotics.com)) and I see that someone has pranged their Veyron. Expensive crash I would think.

[VladTepes]

I prefer www.exoticspotter.com (http://www.exoticspotter.com) - just has pics of the cars - perhaps becuase I can;t handle the sight of a smashed Aston !


Here's what happens when you park a Vanquish in the snow.

Perhaps they need a heated roof / bonnet / bootlid for the Russian market ?

[cartm58]

Yes quiggers. That little fuel injected six was some engine in its day. Will it fit on the front of a Series t\case, I wonder? I know where one is. As for Top Gear, bugger, I forgot all about it. But it was a semi repeat anyway.

Shorty.

[Slunnie]

Bugger! Definately not happy Jan!

At least by the sounds of it through what wasn't written he wasn't speeding.

[RomperStomper]

I wouldn't worry about missing SBS's Topgear episodes currently on air. We are watching the 7th series, they started the 9th series about 3 weeks ago in the UK. You can get the DVD's of the episodes that SBS hasn't even played yet from Virgin, Sanity etc..

You all know that Hamster stacked a jet car at 250mph right? Because of that they delayed the 9th series by over 6 months I was told.


Here are some cool Top Gear vids from various seasons. You should definately check out the one that is simply called 'Land Rover' http://www.car2max.com/topgear#t

[Dave110HardTop]

Ok.. I'll admit it, I watched and I was moved.

Just want to go out and give the old girl a pat :-)

thanks
