Excellent!!

The backing track to that is Pendulum - Fasten Your Seatbelt (ft. Freestylers). They are an Aussie drum and bass group (from Perth, WA w00t!!!, now based in London).

Thanks for that, it's a kickin' track.

a good ending to a week of hell (midterms in high school)

Is it just me or does Jeremy look really fake in the sawed off Fiat.....

[Viper007Bond]

Just saw on the BBC a different trailer. This one was all Clarkson. He was going for a speed run in an LP640.

OMFG, must see!

[Magnet]

I reckon the sawn off cars has got to do with the Build-Your-Own limo contest which was apparently pencilled in for this season. I guess it makes sense.

Oh and as a side note, the song is from the album "Hold Your Colour", which is kickass, and I defy anyone to play it in their car without driving like a lunatic.

see original, 3 posts up...

Nope, it's not you.

It's just a thoroughly sh*t screengrab.

Sorry.

['CruiserMan]

Go May. Looks like he's got a few good moments this series

That song is awesome, but I got it... and it has some really annoying brittish radio host speaking at the end...No, it isn't Hammond

Yep agree with you here - the title track from the album is my personal fave.

I'm considering making this weekend an extra long weekend (Australia day on Friday) by taking Monday off so I will be able to watch TG. Either that or I'll have to see if I can D/L it at work!

2 more trailers just aired. One of all clarkson in the LP640 & one of hammond. Hammond had to buy about 70+ bags of chips i believe. Had something to do with the construction challenge.

[who_me_33]

Can someone do the right thing, and try to rip the hammond and the clarkson trailers. Want to see what more of this season is like.

Your killing me... I want to see...

Thanks for this! Downloading 8)

Edit: I just got the album and its terrific. This is the kind of music i'd listen to cruising on the highway at 3 in the morning.... loud trancy music in your ears and a blurrr of headlights and white stripes coming at you...

Edit2: The song's name is "Fasten your Seatbelt" from Pendulum's "Hold your Colour" album.

I think they must have two Cheap Car Challenges this season, as I remember reading somewhere that James bought an old Alfa for one of the challenges and it ended up being sawn in half (so, that'll be what Jeremy setting the roof lining on fire and then driving only the front half of his car is all about - perhaps the idea is to see which of the cheap cars work after they've been sawn in half a la crashing the original cheap cars into a wall at 30mph?), but then there was also the Cheap Car Challenge USA, which I presume furnished the clips of Richard in the pickup with the dodgy stereo - notice the aforementioned pickup is left-hand drive, but Jeremy's half car is right-hand drive. Oh, and that clip where James throws Jeremy's megaphone under the steamroller is hilarious, as is Jeremy's pained expression immediately afterward. They tried to build a car last season, so I suppose it's only natural that they should move on to trying to build a road!

Less than a week to go now.... can't go fast enough.... I'd wish for the next week to go at Veyronesque speeds if it weren't for the fact I'm supposed to finish my doctoral dissertation between now and the 2 March!

I think its one USA cheap car challenge and one home-made-stretched-limo challenge. Read about it in the mag a while ago.

Yep, both of which I mentioned previously.

[Dsemaj]
