watching that race at the end the ''schtig'' has to be a rally (or ex) rally driver!
-
It was James, honest!
-

-
oh i remember what i was gonna mention....
that ferrari. jc was going on about how it shouldnt be called a gto cos it was such a monster to handle..... maybe its cos he aint good enough to drive it. look at it in the hands of das schtig! ;)
-
excellent show as always and the rally race at the end now that was some driving
-
loved the Transit & Monaro Pickup drag race, soon as they lined up, with those alloys on the transit new it was going to be special!
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
some stigisms....
Some say he never blinks, and that he roams around the woods at night foraging for wolves...
• Some say he’s wanted by the CIA, and that he sleeps upside down like a bat...
• Some say he appears on high value stamps in Sweden, and that he can catch fish with his tongue...
• Some say he is illegal in 17 US states, and he blinks horizontally...
• Some say that his breath smells of magnesium, and that he’s scared of bells...
• Some say he naturally faces magnetic north, and that all his legs are hydraulic...
• Some say that he lives in a tree, and that his sweat can be used to clean precious metals...
• Some say that his heart ticks like a watch, and that he’s confused by stairs...
;D ;D ;D ;D

I thought it was one of the best Top Gear programmes for ages. Last time I laughed so much was the caravan one. ;D ;D
-
hahahaha i agree varche.
''unpack your stig''..... and he's in a box upside down hahahaaahahaha ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
agreed excellent program for the boys, however they are going to get some complaints over the sheep herding!!
-
I Missed the first bit but it was a great episode. That bit of rally driving as said was awesome!
-
I still liked the Maloo

I have had my suspicions for a number of years now that in the many clips J.C is supposed to be driving he isn't. You can never actually see who it is when the driver( through clever fiming angles) is power sliding or giving it the "bifters" I really do have my doubts

I'm pretty confident that the Stig had TC on when he took it round. JC turned it off ...makes for better TV. :y
-
i'd like to have seen more of the 2 miggy's being thrashed ;)
-
they were always going to struggle to get that 2.0 drifting though :o ;D

I'd love to know how many people on here sell photocopiers. Not a solitary substantiate-able fact in sight! ;D ;D
-
I love that 250GTO. :-*
.. and well done to Nick Mason for not letting Clarkson drive it. ;D

250GTO is Nick Mason's, I'm pretty sure. Here is the man himself behind the wheel, if I'm not mistaken, on the front page:

.. unless someone's cloned his number plate. ;)

well spotted - he's given TG a shot of his F40 before when ferrari wouldnt - so long as they plugged his book, this time he was probably happy for them to drive it.....the insurance company and the beeb werent so keen however :y

Maybe so. Mind you, in said book he did mention that this is the only car he would not countenance selling under any circumstances... Sounds like he's quite attached to it... In such circumstances I doubt I'd be handing the keys over to a motoring hack whose only party trick is shredding rear tyres. ;)

yep,your right,I just thought because they were talking about ginger nut spending lots of dosh on one I assumed it was his :-[

Was indeed one of the best (and funniest) TG's for a while, and it's always good to see the Aussie's taken down a peg or two!! ::) ;D
There was no mistaking the V8 rumble coming from the Transit after they had finished the race and Hammond returned to park up.
-
and then jeremy remembered he had a mate with a transit........ ;D ;D ;D ;D

Actually, didn't the XJ220 end up with a twin turbocharged 3.5 V6 based on the 6r4's?
I think the concept was to use a V12 but production cars got the V6, which looked a bit silly in the engine bay designed for a V12. ;D

Doh! Yep, just looked it up and it was indeed the 3.5 V6 twin turbo with quad cams. :y Anyway, my drift was that it was definitely not a standard Transit 4 pot! ;)

I think the original design was for a 6.2lt v12 and 4 wheel drive but by the time the bean counters had there say it ended up with said metro engine :P

Yep, the 6.2 V12 was only stuck in the prototype. :y
