heh, i was wondering when this thread would be up

Kebab gud · May 28th, 2006, 10:39 PM

YAY!

1: the only hint jeremy came with that the wing is an option is when he sayd "they fited the wing" .. the wing.. not a wing.. bad bad jeremy..
2: love the Sclass.. jeremy`s Sclass that is images/smilies/tongue.gif

3: i find it odd that they never once mentiond the new Lexus LS .. it has more gadgets then the Sclass .. and comes in a very powerfull awd hybrid variant..
(so it will be faster then the S 65AMG..)
4: only one segment with James? .. come on !!
thats it...
ok episode.. i mis james..

EDIT: anyone noticed that they didnt say anything about the 6 week brake...
is there one more show or not?
(from what i know .. the world cup dosent start untill after next sunday)

Around 5 minutes in total of James May, including studio bits. images/smilies/wacko.gif

Cobol74 · May 28th, 2006, 10:46 PM

OK, The S Class bit was very funny, that poor French lady, I do not think she knew what was really going on. That Konegisegg wow, I want one so badly. All round good episode, top gear dog was her usual self.

Xeon SX · May 28th, 2006, 10:58 PM

why did they stick ccx on the board, its not standard, they arent built with spoilers so its modified. it was good to see it in action with a wing but not have on the board.

Amanaman · May 28th, 2006, 10:58 PM

A pretty balanced episode for once - good mixture of roadtesting and larking about. And that Sclass images/smilies/eek.gif

(both of course)

Good point, I still want one very badly, I just love the way it looks, a different direction to the Italian and German designs.

its an option. I would assume that most CCX's will be sold with it anyway.

Hammond and May's test drive of Jeremy's S class will be the most popular thing with the non petrol head public I think. Well I fell off the sofa laughing anyway. The 0 to 60 time, "now we test the breaks. ...".

Mr-Vercetti · May 28th, 2006, 11:12 PM

Im surprissed no-one has mentioned about the state that Hammond left the Cayenne in images/smilies/eek.gif

, well done i say, the best thing for a Cayenne i think images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

.

As for the CCX, when i heard they were putting a rear wing on it, i had images of the sort of wing you see on the back of FIA GT racer's, the ones that are as big as 5 a-side goal posts, but the one they did put on was tiny. Still did it's job well enougth to post the fastest time images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

.

Cobol74 · May 28th, 2006, 11:18 PM

Cayenne bit was OK, but just OK. Had they had video of the prang then it would have been better.

Got to be careful with Jaguars, bite your bloody head off if they get a bit peckish.

triumph · May 28th, 2006, 11:40 PM

Hammster probably took Drift trainings with the Stig because he was quite good putting this Z4 sideways. images/smilies/eek.gif

the two S-klasse reviews were excellent images/smilies/lol.gif

CCX -> 1.17.6 images/smilies/eek.gif

Tiff you can get behind the wheel now!

Did Hammster said that the cayenne turbo S had 512bhp? is he dyslexic because it has 521. (but who cares and I probably didn't hear it clearly). Anyway this race was "average".

A good episode overall and more cars oriented than the last one.

Citroen C6 next sunday? images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

trionic · May 28th, 2006, 11:49 PM

Wasnt first car to have airbag the Oldsmobile Toronado, not Merc?

And wasnt 3-point seatbelts in Volvo or something long before Merc?

Satnav I'm not sure but GPS was in Mazda first.

Cayenne "race", huge waste of money.

baseballz71 · May 28th, 2006, 11:54 PM

Cayenne bit was forgettable

S class bit was very entertaining and informative

CCX been waiting for that one very good as well.

We need more James MAY! he was only in 1 bit

Thought the redo of the old S class interior was a waste of time

Last weeks episode was better.

Is there one next week or are they on their break now?

ahpadt · May 29th, 2006, 12:01 AM

I got so happy when I saw that the CCX smashed a new lap record! images/smilies/thumbsup.gif
