The supercar section was good, but carried on a bit loo long really.

Also, was it me, or was the Zonda they had in the studio a Zonda F? Only got a brief look, but i swear that bottom section was black instead of coloured.

Really didn't like Ladyman that much, I can't stand politition-speak, although much respect for the drive!

I thought it was a great episode. Jeremy summed up supercars perfectly on the shot of them crossing the bridge (beutiful music too). I was saying to myself as lady-man was doing his lap 'they should have put up a speedcamera'.

There were so many awesome sounds in the supercar segments..

That was the best bit though. Apart from that, not much seemed to happen. I guess that's what you get with these non scripted shows...

Yup, the getting stuck bit was very funny.
I actually really enjoyed that episode. Although I must admit them constantly going on about Hammond's teeth is beginning to get quite irritating... (they did it at MPH '05 too...)

Supercar bit was very cool and very funny.

Focus ST had some funny bits too but I loved the camera work on that bit - as usual top notch! images/smilies/smile.gif

The "RiVER" rip IE: http://www.mininova.org/tor/163786 was too "loud"
I couldnt hear the cars properly.. It sounds like the default sound was set too high.

I'll wait for VuK's rip. (To keep)
