My guess is they didnt had the 997 turbo near the TG track at all, seeing JC testing it on the open road.

DAMN! The thing that I was most looking forward to was the damn powerlap of the 997 Turbo!!!!

Damn, damn damn!

honestly, JC and Hammond and May all make enough money to be able to privately rent a 997 Turbo with no problem.

hey, does anyone remember the exact time that the Brabus SL65 AMG (is that right model?) did on their track?

1:26...something?

I liked the episode and that Chainsaw part was classic, a shame that the landing didn't go as well.

The episode also had one of the best Cool Wall segments yet images/smilies/smile.gif Second best only to hamster eating the card.

Scripted - of course; funny as fuck - hell yeah!

Hammond should nail the bike on the back of the cool wall, so it shows through the hole. 8)

can't believe they moved 4x4s down. they could at least have left the Defender in place, Hammond has 2! and clarkson with a chainsaw, well that's what you get for taking a bike onto TG images/smilies/lol.gif

I'm rather surprised they didn't send the 911 turbo around the track.
That Brabus was extreme overkill.
For once SIARPC segment was good.
Great to see the cool-wall back. How dare Hammond try to put a bike on there.images/smilies/biggrin.gif
Shuttle was excellent, i was expecting to blow up on the launch pad, but flew very well.

Ah don't worry about that, i'll think of something. images/smilies/smile.gif

Putting that aside i have to say that i am shocked by the fact Jeremy moved the 4X4's down. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Default great episode

nice one topgear, i loved it. the robin shuttle was ace. shame it crashed, however it put a smile on my face.

did you see the Ford GT on the cool wall. Jeremey moved it to sub zero as he sold his. then the next car to be placed on the cool wall you can see the ford GT in the uncool zone in the background, when it has just been moved. Bad edited topgear.

But overall a good episode. Tractors sound good next week images/smilies/biggrin.gif, woujld be a good laugh.
