Huzzah!!!

Torrents awaaaaay!!!

sweet first ep is up already

will these be going up on a nz addy again ?

no can do at present. btw, nz addy doesn't mean nz server.

Was a good episode...

Check the STIG, 1st time for everything

nah he's done that before, notably to an F430.

fish tail

It's a koenigsegg..... they hangle like dogs.... with a bar of ice-encrusted soap strapped to each foot

In this episode:

* Jeremy reviews the new Corvette Z06 and the Stig gives it a lap time
* Richard goes to Iceland to race a jetski-style powered Kayak in a off-road 4x4 race car called a Tomcat
* Jeremy takes the stunning new Jaguar XK to Yorkshire Dales National Park for a test drive
* The Top Gear crew heads to a local radio station to host a 3 hour afternoon drivetime show and produces a pretty hilarious result
* The Stig, having never set a laptime in the old Suzuki Liana, gives it a go
* Star in a reasonably priced car: Gordon Ramsay

I havent torrented any of these episodes but watched a few of the videos off their website. Great stuff!

In this episode:

* Richard compares the new BMW Z4 M to the Porsche Boxster S and the Stig takes it around the track for a laptime
* Jeremy examines the new Mercedes S Class to see what technology might appear on normal cars in 10 years
* Richard races in a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S at the Cyprus rally course against a skydiver jumping out of a police helicopter
* Jeremy redesigns the interior of a older Mercedes S Class to his liking, complete with a concrete floor
* The Stig takes the Koenigsegg CCX around the Top Gear track again, but this time with it sporting a rear wing
* Star in a reasonably priced car: Ewan McGregor

Got invited to the NZ Launch of the Z4 M ... managed to take some photos after convincing the BMW head office I wasn't going to sell them to a magazine. heh

EDIT: just right click, properties them and copy the link into a web browser to view without being cut off.. Thechad and his bullshit "I won't program a forum to scale with your browser" rules

Nice shots

break for 5 weeks or something now.

only a couple more days to go!

word is they finally get the veyron around the track.

sweet, wonder if it has what it takes to beat the koenigsegg

not yet :/

This week Jeremy tests some hot boring saloons, the Stig drives an F1 car (indoors), Hollywood actor Brian Cox is let loose in the Lacetti and the boys go, er, on a caravanning holiday to Dorset. Here's some more info:


In the news...
Jeremy and Richard spend a long time arguing about American muscle cars - no prizes for guessing which corner Clarkson's in...

The lads also discuss the recent influx of folding metal drop-tops and how Volvo managed to get an endorsement from Jesus (well, kind of - the pope has just bought himself an XC90).

And finally, a new survey has revealed that people who have speed indicators in their cars receive less penalty points - couldn't have predicted that one, could you?


Rep Race...
Jeremy starts the show this week with three family saloons - but don't switch off, they've got over 700bhp between them. His mission is to find out which beefed-up boring saloon is best - Mondeo ST200, Mazda6 MPS or Vectra VXR.


We're all going on a miserable holiday...
Three men in boat may work but three in a caravan doesn't. TG is not famed for its love of caravans, but the boys decided if you can't beat them, join them - at least for a weekend.

Dorset was their destination, but with Captain Slow at the wheel things go from bad to worse and then really bad. James has an encounter with a bollard, Richard gets kidnapped and the TG dog chucks up in the van. Oh, and then Jeremy decides to cook...


Star in a reasonably priced car...
This week's star in a reasonably priced car is Hollywood actor Brian Cox - think Troy, Bourne Identity and the original Hannibal Lector).


The Stig stays indoors...
The British International Motor Show starts next week at the ExCel exhibition centre (we'll be there - find out who else is in our preview), but before they started to jam it full of shiny cars it was a big empty space crying out for a TG experiment. Cue the Stig in a F1 car (and the Lacetti for practice)
