[10x05] November 11th, 2007

Quote:

Jeremy does his bit for global warming, sort of, by encouraging drivers to ditch their Range Rovers and Porsche Cayennes in favour of a 500bhp estate car.

James takes the Alfa Romeo 159 to the Humber River for a race against a very tall man wearing a giant condom.

Richard and James cause a few sleepless nights in the Ecclestone household by inventing a wildly destructive new motor sport.

The new Honda Civic Type-R tries its luck on the test track.

And England rugby hero Lawrence Dallaglio squeezes himself into our reasonably priced car.

Sunday 18 November, 8pm BBC Two

Repeated Wednesday 21 November, 7pm on BBC Two

Should be a legendary episode.

M5 Touring. Mmmmmm. When I win the lottery I'm finding a way to import it to America. So excited to see it on TG.

Actually yes i did bother to read the posts above but couldn't see it posted - hence why i asked images/smilies/smile.gif

Looks like it will be a great episode similer to season 4 for this one rather then season 6 like the last episode

alfaholic · November 12th, 2007, 11:16 PM

Yay, finally the 159 will make an appearance. Doesn't sound like they'll be doing a full test though.

anti-net · November 13th, 2007, 12:13 AM

Should be a good ep, though I'm still waiting for bloody britcar! The Estates test should be cool, I really like this new bred of SuperEstates. 159 race seems a bit silly, RV racing will be a laugh

eldiaoble · November 13th, 2007, 02:54 AM

i bet oliver will be on this episode

This quote seems appropriate for this episode
"You can sleep in a race car, but you can't race a house!"

I don't know who said it.. but it's my friends away message on AIM.
btw.... this is the same friend that got my obsessed with Top Gear a few years ago, but now hes over it.

The_Finn · November 14th, 2007, 05:02 AM

i saw fast estates and RS6 just poped into my head... but the C63 and M5 should be FANTASTIC

Can't be the C63, too old. The new estate has only just come out. If it was going to be a Merc, it would be the E55 or E63 Estate, or whatever it is images/smilies/tongue.gif

If I remember correctly, Audi RS4 Avant and M5 Touring.

watto · November 14th, 2007, 05:50 AM

^I'm pretty certain it's the E63. Bad ass, better be in black.

Sorry I meant E63, got the wrong one.

Is this new

Quote:

The Top Gear boys have returned safely from their cross-London jaunt, and they're ready to return to your screens in another brilliant episode this Sunday at 8pm on BBC Two.

There's a truly global flavour to this week's show, as the presenters test the finest cars to come out of German, Italy and Japan... and smash up a bunch of motorhomes for good measure.

Jeremy pits two of the great Teutonic tourers against head-to-head as he twin-tests the BMW M5 Touring and Mercedes E63 AMG Estate.

And as if burning rubber on the world's fastest luggage-loaders wasn't enough, he's also appropriated the new Honda Civic Type R for a blast on the TG test track. Off us, actually - suffice to say that TopGear.com's Type R lifer came back looking somewhat the worse for wear.

James gets a belated drive in one of Italy's finest exports, the beautiful Alfa Romeo 159, and discovers whether the Giugaro-penned saloon is faster than, erm, a very tall man. We can't tell you any more than that, but all shall become clear on Sunday.

And, speaking of very tall men, this week's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is England rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio. He's a big lad. The Lacetti hasn't been quite the same since.

And it falls to Richard to invent an entirely new form of motorsport: mobile home racing. Can big wobbly houses-on-wheels make it round the track? Will they disintegrate in the process?

Find out this Sunday at 8pm on BBC Two.

I have to say the motorhomes part is the funniest part of the show images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Classic!

they shoulda thrown in the RS6 as well.. tho it does have a significant power advantage over the merc and (my favourite) the M5 touring
