I found the mountain bike part with the new clio veryyyy funnyy and hats off to that mountain biker he was amazing... but see the many things that James hit LOL LOL images/smilies/lol.gif

Fuckin hell, two records broke in one episode: Fastest lap and Fastest Star (Only .4 off of damon hill)

Challenge was a little dissapointing, But some damn good laughs (Clarkson in a hedge, May arriving on a truck and losing at everything - although what the hell is his captian slow helmet?)

Surprise tribute to Richard Burns, and a good anecdote too.

I really loved the bike thing too. Not so good ending to challenge though... images/smilies/sad.gif

hmm, considering the zonda f set the fastest lap to date it seemed to have a short segment and wasnt even mentioned in the episodes despcription... oh well, to be honest it was a nice suprise images/smilies/biggrin.gif

no tso gt though... clearly a mistake.....?

Thoroughly enjoyed that episode, plenty of laughs, and the bike over the car... set up? or really part of the timed run.. conspiracy! images/smilies/lol.gif

Ellen MacArthur sure looked fast, but I never expected it to be the fastest time ever. Carr's lap looked faster...

I think the car is better runned-in, now. If it lived all its life on the track, the mileage is quite low.

I think you're right.

I mean, in season 1 + 2, the average time for the RPC was about 1:54. Nowadays, it seems like most people can break 1:50. I mean, if they put Harry Enfield out again, he'd probably get under 1:50. I wonder what the Stig would get?

mykogwapo69 · December 5th, 2005, 01:26 AM

thanks for that k top or whatever that banned me on the chat room - little does he know that the reason why i was anxious to get this video was because i was gonna leave the comfort of the internet for 3 days and i was gonna leave it on to be a seeder so that at least my internet can do a bit of work but no- he banned me- thank you, you little monkey!

The torrent is smallish at approx 350K. Usenet has a 700K version going up as we speak in ABMultimedia
