That was probably the greatest episode of Top Gear. The cinematography and camera work (especially the super slow motion shots) were absolutely brilliant. I'm surprised Top Gear hasn't won any awards for presentation. Every portion of this show was great, even Jimmy Carr's appearance.

Ill agree with what others are saying. This was one of the most well made episodes I have ever seen.

By far the highlight for me was the way they used the music as the Zonda left the tunnel, absolutely perfect.

What song was that by the way. It starts at about 3:50 ends at about 4:20 . Im pretty sure it's The Chemical Brothers. I know have the song I just dont have access to my mp3s to check right now.

I just made it.

I made two, the old one is of the 575, which I'm not too happy about and I might remake it. The new one is with the Vanquish S. I like how it flows more. It's also damn close to the file size limit here... yikes.

If you want a clip of something, jot down the time and I'll see what I can do. I have most of the episodes available from here downloaded. The software is finicky though, doesn't like some formats.

In my opinion, the greatest Top Gear moment ever was the Pagani Zonda Roadster as it was flying through the tunnel. I don't think any other scene in the series instilled me with so much emotion and wonderment. I wish Top Gear wins an Oscar or something for that.

I remember someone posting once or twice on the forum named Wlcrm. They're on an Internet2 connection, so I'd assume it's him.

I'm currently working on the song requests. Hopefully I'll have some answers in a bit. images/smilies/smile.gif

perhaps one of the best episodes ever, and by far the greatest of this season. i was able to... get into this episode, if that makes any sense, whereas say with the enzo episode, i didnt really enjoy.

the zonda convertible is craziness, as is that yacht. the 24 hours in the smart car was hilarious, especially when they slept in the haunted forest. and the driving and cinematography of the 575 v vanquish was incredible.. the slow mo shoots were wooo!!! images/smilies/lol.gif

but who is steve coogan??

That little bit wouldn't make a good animated gif, because when it loops, it would just rock back and forth.

Yes I must say i've enjoyed the episode quite a lot. Thanks for another great rip. images/smilies/smile.gif


The yacht and the zonda...pure technological erotica.

And that last comparo between the Vanquish and 575 masterfully done. As mentioned those motion shots were just amazing.

One thing I was rather surprised is how upset the vanquish chassis was on the track, just aweful. Especially from a car with reworked suspension.

On the other hand the Ferrari, as expected from the GTC pack, was beatifully poised, although I did expect it to be faster.

I've just finished watching the episode.. Probably the best of the season IMO!

The mountain road where Richard drove the Zonda is awesome.. I'm almost sure it was a part of the Montecarlo Rally "Col de Turini" stage..

And I think that the Astons are the best looking cars on sell today!

I loved when Jeremy said Richard would "leave a deposit on the Zonda" - Greatest pun of all time!

That Aston is terrible. The DB9 is just as fast and it always breaks down. It breaks down twice when Vicky tests it on 5th Gear too!
