He's worth a rental if you have access to Region 2 DVDs. Check out the classic Fry and Laurie or the more modern QI when you have some time. images/smilies/smile.gif

Or British Whose Line, as he's appeared on that quite a few times.

Stephen Fry in the SIARPC? for the first time in a long while i'm actually looking forward to the SIARPC segment.
This should be another good episode after the great start the series got last week.

Hmmm.... McLaren F1 vs Veyron! Can't wait! hmmmmm! images/smilies/drool.gif

w1lhelm · June 24th, 2009, 2:08 PM

Really looking forward to this episode.

Love the cheap car challenges although they lost their way a bit with the last couple (police cars was good but decended into a bit of a farce). Hopefully this one will be back on form. Read about the veyron vs mclaren in tg magazine, should be epic. Stephen Fry, what can I say? Yes I think I have a bit of a man crush on him! This episode will very, very good.

matskulainen · June 24th, 2009, 10:24 PM

This should be quite a good one I reckon. The Emirates shoot-out sounds very interesting and we'll see if a Veyron can win something with Hammond. Also, I finally found a software with which I can watch the UK TV (including BBC2) so I'll see this one "live" for the first time images/smilies/clap.gif

I think that the Mclaren is going to pull away from the Bugatti. Just because the Bugatti is a fat and heavy car.

A fat, heavy, 1000PS, 0-60 in 2.5s car.

Holiace · June 25th, 2009, 4:24 PM

The Mclaren weights alot less... The bugatti is 4wd as well. It can therefore plant its power.

"In contrast to raw engine power, a car's power-to-weight ratio is a better method of quantifying acceleration performance than the peak output of the vehicle's powerplant. The standard F1 achieves 550 hp/ton (403 kW/tonne), or just 3.6 lb/hp. Compare with the Enzo Ferrari at 434 hp/ton (314 kW/tonne) (4.6 lb/hp), the SSC Ultimate Aero TT with 1003 hp/ton (747.9 kW/tonne) (2 lb/hp), and the Bugatti Veyron at 530.2 hp/ton (395 kW/tonne) (4.1 lb/hp)." - Wikipedia
