Top Gear Last Night

[Matthew_McNally]

Did anyone see Top Gear last night?

that Cadillac concept car was :tsktsk: awesome!

and the Bentley coupe in the same show <garrggg>.

missed the first few minutes though - what car were they throwing around the track, and JC was laughing at the oompa loompa about?

[Claire G]

Have taped Top Gear but not watched it yet, hopefully get the chance to see it tonight - it sounds good!

[Rodders_UK]

Yeah - I want one of those Caddys for sure

[Micelis]

The bentley was B)!

caddy was nice also, bit OTT I thought though

I'd rather have the Bugatti Veyron then!

oh they were driving a TVR 350S first few minutes, and comparing it to a Noble Mk2 with the new 3.0 litre engine

good show again!

:)

Did'nt like the programme last night. I prefer it when they test cars we can all afford.

[Risky3301]

Yeah - I want one of those Caddys for sure

Why buy a car with 16 cylinders and it only uses 4 of them,

Very old technology, cutting out cylinders, althought the way the presenter, presented the car you would have thought Cadillac were the first to think of it. Top Gear, Top Rubbish as usual

[Rodders_UK]

I thought that new VW was pretty special too

I thought that new VW was pretty special too

it was mate.

but unfortunately - most people won't want to spend £65k on a VW

people with that sorft of money want the kudos of a better badge - MB / BMW / Jag etc

maybe even Lexus!

I thought the £105k Range Rover was a bit overpriced....

An extra £45k for 100bhp, slight transmission ECU mod and a set of rims :duh:

Its all very well and good having a 2.5 tonne off road drag racer, but what happened when they showed it a corner??

my old man was saying that Overfinch have calmed it down - for the money they used to rip out the engine and the suspension and completely replace it.

was impressive seeing it eat the SLK though!

[andyhart21]

I was amazed when they said that for the £45k there was no suspension or braking mods For £45k I would want Holly Vallance in the passenger seat as well :)

[Matthew_McNally]

I would want Holly Vallance in the passenger seat as well :)

would want her in the back seat

I'm sure I heard the guy quote the 0-60 time for the Overfinch on tarmac as 7.1s ....? Strange, because the quoted 0-60 time for the 320SLK is 7.0s. Presenter must have been talking bull**** (again)

That's unusual for Top Gear

[smw]

You remember the bit when they did 'fastest disabled driver' - afterwards they started telling us that one of the drivers had been let off speeding when the police pulled him over and then noticed his wheelchair in the back of the car - anyway the car he drives was described as 'very, very fast' but did you catch what it was . . .

Toyota Supra Twin Turbo :D

Nice one. Not sure where he puts the chair though !

[lexussport]

What a lovely TVR........ :D

Better than those tanks built in germany where you sit interfacing with several computers to keep the car on the road :P
