This......is..........awesome.

Some body better do a FOD walk down.
 
Top Gear Rocks. Although the bit where Clarkson keeps rolling the Reliant Robin is still one of my favourites...

 
haha pete i've never seen that one. awesome!
 
CLASSIC!

Thanks.

I bet someone was really mad when they read the repair order the next day.
 
I think I've ridden on an airport bus driven by that driver. And I KNOW I've seen baggage drivers like that at DFW... :D

I love Top Gear, but have a problem with the obvious biases. A British sports car (e.g. a Jag) is terrible, but they love it for X reason anyway.

The blatant series 7 throwing of the race in the plane (C182) vs. Veyron. Heck, you could pick up an M20K 252 for less than 1/4 the cost of a Veyron and whip it's a$$. Still, even a 182 turbo should be able to beat it pretty handily.

The irrational tests they perform like running a Beemer and Prius at full speed around the track to see which one ran out of petrol first. The real test there would have been to put 1 gallon in each and drive them in stop/go traffic to see which one dried up first. Why? The Prius is sold as a traffic car, not a highway car.

I admit to agreeing with him about Porsche though, lazy effing designers.

Think there's a reason it's billed as an entertainment show, not a new magazine! Their tests of "practical cars" usually end up with a large crash or explosion. Or a very large game of futbol. Unless it's a Morris Marina, then there WILL be a falling piano, somewhere. Not really practical motoring information.

Did you see the episode in the last series where they lined up the entire Porche family, starting with the original Beetle? Amazing, when you see them side by side, how little change there has been.

Series 17 starts 26 June, get excited!
 
OK, I am reminded -

there is so much - so very much - I have yet to do in life.
 
Ah yes, the Reliant Robin Space Shuttle. Classic! And proof that even where there is fail, there can be so much win! :thumbsup:

I am, but I do miss the earlier attitude they had testing cars. Don't forget their hatred of Caravans (camping trailers) either.
 
Top Gear is the best show ever. In fact, They have over 100 episodes streaming on Netflix and I am watching one right now. It has been my favorite thing for years.
