I don't quite understand the last bit. Is he going to use a Morgan Aero 8 instead or something? images/smilies/wacko.gif

No he is going to be a guest reviewer and the "star in a reasonably priced car".

He must be a Morgan fan images/smilies/lol.gif

Ah, fair enough. Have they done this before then?

JC being brought back down to earth by the Nurburgring Taxi Driver should be fun images/smilies/smile.gif

andyhui01 · November 14th, 2004, 09:40 AM

Judging by what he wrote about it in the Top Gear Magazine it will be funny as hell.

Dark_Templer_102 · November 14th, 2004, 04:39 PM

Wrote about the Jaguars or the Nur?

Greatgraddage · November 14th, 2004, 06:55 PM

Both, in his column. I wish I hadn;t read it though, spoils a bit of the episode!

Phix · November 14th, 2004, 08:10 PM

So, wait, he tackled the Nurburgring and lived? Hm. There goes my prediction....

SL65 · November 15th, 2004, 06:35 AM

Yeah he was on the Hitler talk show and said he would bear his arse...classic show.

Slater is a legend, I hope they get more celebs in to do reviews, thatd be cool, might get me off my arse and get me into some TV so I can get called up for a review... Id do an FPV Typhoon vs the inevitable twin turbo HSV challenger

MESSAGE FOR VUK

Noticed that the last two weeks a rip was made from the rerun on Monday. But the following episode doesn't rerun because of snooker. Just wanted to make sure that you know. images/smilies/smile.gif

damians · November 17th, 2004, 09:33 PM

Ok have just come back from being in the audience images/smilies/tongue.gif

Richard (Hamster) Hammond test drives the new Morgan. Very Very fast car but looks very strange.

Then they show Richards new car which is a Dodge Charger in a colour I think they called Sub Lime !

http://img120.exs.cx/img120/6457/Copyof100_0560.jpg

In the news Jeremy absolutely ripped the p*ss out of the police and Enviromentalists ( He's been slated in the press for driving up a Mountain and wrecking the habitat !)

James May drove a Mercedes 300SL Gull Wing

http://img128.exs.cx/img128/1685/Copyof100_0558.jpg

Christian Slater had a few moments on the test track

Richard had a Banger race with a load of racing drivers in Classic MPV's

Jeremy tried to drive the Nurberg Ring in under 10 minutes in a Diesel Jaguar.

Over all its going to be a very very good episode. plus you will see my handsome mug on TV images/smilies/oops.gif

Oooh, that charger is such a sweet looking car images/smilies/smile.gif
