Yeah... Looks like the Maserati Bora story was swapped for the Murano story.
Precisely... Ever since I saw that description, it kinda made me think....

Why in the hell would James test a sporty 4x4 ? Hes more like the kind who would rather cruise around. James isnt like Jeremy or Richard who would love to do some off roading ? Heh.

No. They didn't say they were doing it. I reckon it would be good if they ended up doing that challenge.

If that was sarcasm, use a smiliey.
They didn't say they were doing it but it did here:
http://img156.echo.cx/img156/7654/p98rw.th.jpg

and there were clips of it in the first episode when they were showing all the different things from the series

Another point... That was just a automatic Liana, since when was it a Tardis ?

There is no car named Tardis. The vehicle Dr.Who uses to travel through time is called Tardis. images/smilies/lol.gif

The show is being filmed at Dunsfold Airfield. The 747 was there as part of the Dunsfold Wings & Wheels festival. Review here:

Arriving quite a bit in advance for the show was a Boeing 747 Freighter which dominated the static display of visiting and based aircraft. The aircraft has recently been retired from service with Air Atlanta Cargo and flew in from nearby Gatwick for some upcoming film work before being scrapped. For the show it was adorned in the colours of the Rutland Group and Dunsfold Park.
Hmmm from that do you think it will be making it's last appearance on Top Gear?

Ok. I dissed the historic inserts in the last episode thread but I have to admit that the Maserati segment was great! I really enjoyed it compared to the last episode Maserati historysegment by Jeremy.

A fairly decent episode. I loved the Bora segment, it would be great to own one of those.
I wish they would have done a little more on the GT, hopefully that will be coming up in a later ep.
It might have been me but Christopher Eccleston came off as a bit of a git, he is pretty good as Dr. Who though.
The Rolls segment at the end was just lame, kinda surprised he wasn't towing a caravan behind it. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

I want to see more of these kinda quotes! On the episode where they were testing the Pagani Zonda (first ep i think) Jeremy mentioned being able to go 220mph in TOP gear up from 200 in FIFTH GEAR
