First one to post in here after Viper! Are you all asleep?
I liked the ep, was so funny... And 2.9 sec 0-60 time for that Ariel Atom is just impressive...

are there any really funny segments that I should look out for when I watch it... btw... when JC reviewed the Ariel Atom.. is it almost the same as the one he did for a Clarkson series... because that was the case for all the cars on that show

This episode was nothing special. It was good of course, but nothing I'd write home about.

There was a 450 MB one that was kinda released before I got my torrent out. The 450 MB one is the one from UKNova (a UK torrent site).

And may I say JC bashing of the 1 series was utter BS
this was one of the weakest episodes of the season, altough other shows would like to even reach that level, I still was dissapointed.
And again, what's Clarcksons problem with the 1 series images/smilies/wacko.gif

Neither is his GT which should be coming in march.. I'm gonna look forward to the first show after he received his car.. James and especially Richard are going to make his airtime a living hell images/smilies/wink.gif
I totally agree tho.. He can completely bash a car for just about everything and in the end say ".. but it's an Aston so it's fantastic"

BTW my little brother bought a house in Hoogeveen this summer so you might know him.. Not that I really think so but it could be images/smilies/smile.gif

Haha, you're right...
He's already drooling because of that AMV8 next year... (will be a great car for sure...)

Anyhow, the whole show is just like the cool wall... Just some personal opinions...

They tell you the pro + cons, but their conclusion always is a personal one. I'm a big BMW fan, so I just ignore stuff like "The award for the worst car of the year goes to.... the whole BMW range!" (think this was last year..)

As for personal opinions ....

We dont like the Getz becouse you can get a Polo for the same price ??

Her in denmark

Hyundai Getz 1.3 GL = 128964 kr.
VW Polo 1.2 = 162402 kr

This is differens of 25 % !

Is the stament true in the Uk ?
