I thought they mentioned last episode that they use a Mondeo as their camera vehicle, if that's what you meant by "chase vehicle."

That DBR9 sounded evil. I'm surprised it made half the difference between an MC12 and an F1 car.

PogotheMonkey: It wasn't the S he done the lap in, they just had that in the studio.

I'd buy one.

Oh no, Jeremy Clarkson went through Hamburg during the race and I missed him.
The first twenty seconds +/- after he mentions that he's in Germany are actually filmed here.

Quite a good episode I have to say. I particulary enjoyed his mocking of the Dutch. "Hello Dutchie" followed by his weird dance.

And Jeremy getting fed up with James because of his usage of nautical terms. It seemed like he was really pissed for a moment. However, they seemed to get along just fine after they had a few (too many) pints together.

@Cruzz New avatar yes, but I'm done with animated ones atm. They get boring pretty fast.

Can't wait... I actually was the second one to pop the 700 MB version, but then 3000 leechers (just like me) came, and now I have to wait for another hour... images/smilies/sad.gif

Great Episode. Still can't get enough of May.
I just loved Hammond's face at dinner... Classic!

The Slr still sounds a bit weird, but how big were those seas?
Even the driver of the boat was sick?

The bit where JC is loading the McMerc into the railcar was halerious!

JC talking to himself: "I wonder what the fastest anyone has ever been in a Eurotunnel train... how temping is it to..... *Engine winds up a bit* ..NO!...no..no. No.... grow up!
