Great episode. Loved the JS bit, it had the feel of the old race segments (SLR, 612 etc).

I just loved Gambon. It was so hilarious. And I laughed at the doctor Jeremy Clarkson who doesn't understand how the diff in P2 works images/smilies/lol.gif

Jimi Hendrix · June 5th, 2006, 07:24 PM

The C6 Clarkson tested was the 2.7d or the 3.0 V6???

So... was I the only one who wondered ever since the seasons preview who the Norwegian rally driver in the TVR was who kept yelling 'Vooper! Vooper!' ? Turned out he was just a Scottish F1 driver saying "Fullpower! Fullpower!" images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Jimi Hendrix · June 5th, 2006, 07:56 PM

Also the CX JC drove had so much space in the rear ( more than the C6) because it was a long wheel base edition, the Prestige.....

acky3000 · June 5th, 2006, 08:10 PM

this is the first episode of this season that i truly loved. maybe cos my expectations are quite high after so many seasons.

i love the aygo v fox. some may say its the same old stuff, but it still darn entertaining.

I wonder how many days they spent recording the video, because the pavement is dry, then wet, dry, wet, dry........

acky3000 · June 5th, 2006, 08:23 PM

i guess they sort of cut the video around. cos one of the half time shots was like the VW Foxes lining up a wall for a free kick.

argh. i want to see the whole thing instead of highlights though. probably have to stick to WC football then. Z.

NO, the MG X-Power SV was in production for almost 2 years...

The CS6 review makes me wanna go for a ride in one to see how smoooooooth it really is.

Good episode overall, enjoyed James getting more of the spotlight. Jezza and Hamster are as entertaining as ever.

Kebab gud · June 5th, 2006, 10:15 PM

wow .. did some one buy the MG X-Power SV? ..
well .. i now remeber seeing one on the road... images/smilies/oops.gif

IIRC R. Atkinson bought one...

Wonderful episode. You have to wonder though, maybe Gambon was lying in that interview images/smilies/biggrin.gif

The Prodrive is AMAZING. They've created a car which has eliminated understeer - that tech HAS to make it into production!!

Car football - so much fun! James was on top form: letting air out of Hammond's tyres and the best line of the night: upon losing a bumper, 'I've broken a metatarsel.' images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Fantastic stuff, James.

He didn't buy it, he had one on long-term test, and wrote for evo magazine about it [for 6 months]. Can scan if wanted.

Not to me it isn't! images/smilies/tongue.gif

bartboy9891 · June 5th, 2006, 11:29 PM

solid episode. a bunch of smaller features is better than just one big one IMO

Koenig · June 5th, 2006, 11:47 PM

OMFG! Mis-firing system on a road car? What could be better than blowing out your neighbour's eardrums as you drive by? images/smilies/vampire.gif

I really enjoyed listening to his race coaching. I've had some coaching before (for motorcycles), mostly from local racers. The advice they had to give me was either blatantly obvious or completely unfathomable. This man is clearly very good at making racecraft as clear as daylight. Fantastic.
