His videos really are getting cheesier and cheesier.
It was meh. Also, why didn't he feature any 911's? The new GT3 runs rings around the V12 Vantage and is 30k cheaper.
Overall it had a lot of very bad content, and the few powersliding shots didn't make up for the rest.
Do you know Jeremy Clarkson? If you do, you should know that he's not a big fan of the 911, while he is a huge fan of Aston Martin.
Also, they destroyed a Scorpio Cosworth, which has a fantastic engine that I would kill to have in my Sierra.
I do, and I read almost everything he posts and he secretly likes them but is too embarassed to admit it.
What's been said before and the Ferrari California is one of the ugliest cars on the market today.
It looked like the engine was removed when it was crushed, at least to me
I thought it sucked. Scripted nonsense. Glad I didn't pay for it!:lol:
Same here.
All in all, though, it was pretty much what i expected. I can't complain about editing, cinematography or directing (no wonder, as most of the staff is from Top Gear). Some of the effects (especially the "line of cars" effect during the Aston test and the "three Focuses" rehash of it) i'd even like to see on Top Gear.
What annoyed me was the sillyness of the Lambo vs. Focus race ("funny" title cards instead of race footage? Come on, please!), the stupidity of the both the "Brawn test driver can't drift" joke, the complete lack of any humour whatsoever in the two Stig jokes (Vicky with gun/Bike) during the Battle of the Gears and the worst audio dubbing EVER in the second monologue of the Focus segment (around 1:08:40, when cutting to JC's closeup).
And don't even get me started on the drifting with funny footwear.
So, we got some excellent guest stars (and i actually liked the off-road segment!), some good jokes, tons of jokes falling flat, another Marina gone, some stunning cinematography, lots of cars that were already featured on Top Gear - a solid effort for a Clarkson DVD, but nothing outstanding. Seventy minutes well spent, but i won't watch it again.
I didnt like it much either, but I heard a song again I`ve been looking for for ages.
I havent found a thread for music request regarding the Duel DVD so I just post it here, hope thats ok.
It starts at 1:04:55 and goes on till 1:05:28 when Clarkson starts talking about the Focus RS. I tried mailing and asking when I last heard it when he reviews the Veyron but got no answer maybe someone here can help me? Would be very much appreciated. Maybe someone recognizes it.
Thanks
