Agreed, extremely dissapointed... Jason Plato review of the Zonda F was miles better... and watching the humbility of Mr Pagani washing the car himself is just too much. I have a titanic respect for the man. I dont care about the veyron, engineering masterpiece it maybe but Zonda F cames with heart and soul. Watch jason review on 5th gear ep 802 and I'm sure all of you will agree with me, it was better.
edit: I think the real reason why there's no comprehensive review of the F is simply 5th gear manage to get the review F first, long long long before Top gear manage to get their hands on it.

but they had it on track in england and 5th gear went to Italy to test it i public roads.
its tru tho that the segment was extremely short, maybe because they have tested the S so mny times...

Wow! This is really organised images/smilies/smile.gif Thanks

Anyways, a great episdode. Really interesting concept this 70's supercar challenge. To experience what they're like when all the glamour has gone and worn off and rusted away. And a miserable 80hp to haul around the Maserati images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Every credibility of the James May v. Downstairs racer race was lost when they showed the jump over the Clio, though. Until then the Top Gear races seemed vaguely plausible to me images/smilies/cry.gif

Yeah but if you notice the car on Top gear didnt have and sponsor decals on it while the car on 5th Gear did. And if you remember when Pagani presents the car to the public for the 1st time it had those decals which let me to believe that TG got the car after Pagani removed all those decals (after a long while) and shipped the car to england (prolly for PR works). It didnt take long for me to deduct that 5th gear manage to get their hands on the car just after it was launched to the press.

On a different note:

What was Jeremy referring to when he called himself a "Doctor of engineering, twice"?

He made this comment during the oil change challenge. Was he just B.S.ing us?

I'm an engineering student and I was like, "say wha??" when he said it, hehe.
