good episode.. the scenery in scotland was absolutely stunning. not a huge fan of the viper, so that part wasnt to my taste, but it was pretty stinking fast, considering the track was soaked.

next week... 575 and db9 woo!

.....all I want to do now is get a Land Rover and find me the nearest Scottish mountain. That was simply amazing. I wish they had gotten a pic of the tach when Jeremy was flooring it.

I think the Viper would have done somewhere around 1:23 if it was dry. They normally say to subtract 4 seconds for a wet lap, but the track was extremely wet and as a high powered rear-wheel drive car, the Viper is horrible in the wet.

I am getting very slow speeds too (usually they are much faster). I imagine there is either a lot of demand, too many leeches (seed people, seed!) or Viper's main seed link is slow.

Heh, sorry guys, I had to slow my seeding down after doing ~100gigs. Can't blow all the bandwidth in one day or there will be none left for the rest of the topgears/fifth gears this month.

Nice Episode
Discovery - Awesome Vehcile.
Bugatti watch - Ludacris (spelt wrong on purpose) amount of money for a watch. Just Ludacris.
DBR9 - Looks Amazing.
Thanks VUK and Viper, Video quality is astonishing, sound was off here and there, but nothing major, watchable.

By the way how do you put pics into the part for your signature?? i know this isnt suppose to be in here, but its a quickie.....

Just get an image you like...no nudity, violence, things like that, forum rules...make sure it's no wider than 600 pixels, and no taller than 175 pixels. Host your image...ISP may have given you webspace...imageshack.us, imagebucket.com, grab the image URL, paste it in your profile, under "Signature" and wrap it in image tags ([img]imageURLhere[/img]). Without the ().

ahh... I was going to ask the same question as well...

I noticed that the discovery doesn't have hill decent control like the range rover... isn't the discovery made for more offroading than a range rover
