And sounds like the Lambo will be on next week, racing a hawk down the runway if I recall?

[eddy1992]

Brilliant Episode.
I loved the shuttle part - it flew brilliantly - and it was only one bolt that went wrong.
The whole episode was very good and seemed natural.

What sign did Clarkson hold up about the road petitioning?

Lol it took them three episodes to mention Hammond's crash. The shuttle went really well except for the detatchment. Good reviews too. And TG DOG!

[ahpadt]

Too bad they didnt lap the 911.
I miss how they used a lot of small films per episode in the oldern days, compaired to the very long films they use now..
It was pretty funny when the robin didnt release at the end, with a big BOOM!

wouldn't be a really fair match, because a hawk's maximum horizontal velocity is about 55 mph, but it does dive up to 270 mph

Isn't it more like 270 km/h? 270 sounds like an awful lot for a fragile bird.

Dunno, only go by what is shown on the preview...

[IceBone]

nope, 430-440 km/h (which is around 270 mph)

EDIT: my bad, it's actually a Peregrine Falcon and

still bloody fast!

That was an excellent episode, probably the best so far - yes even better than last weeks which was excellent. Building the rocket was so funny.

I agree totally with JC about the 911 turbo. They are great cars but for me they lack the passion you get with other cars.

Oh well. The mods here sure have small dicks if they are going to ban me for asking a question.

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 , woujld be a good laugh.

If I remember correctly, they placed the Ford GT twice on the board, once when it wasnt build yet, and once when jc got one, so It might be just the second one (or the first one offcours) that is still hanging in uncool

Congrats. 4 week ban.

[Rapier]

Really lacked the 911 going round the track.

And they said the Brabus being the most powerful convertible ever made.
that just isn't true, there is the Koeingsegg CCX for starters. But as brabus is a tuning company, I think other tuning companies should qualify aswell.

Which means loads of sledgehammer corvette's, Supra's, 911's(Ruff, gemballa, 9FF, load more) and offcouse many turbocharged Vipers.

Well a CCX isn't actually a convertible. It's a roadster I think, since it doesn't convert. So the same goes for any Viper. Although you might be right on the 911's and stuff.
