Top Gear Crew in Iceland! [Semi-Spoiler]

barock · May 6th, 2005, 12:50 PM

All three (Jeromy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and Jemes May) are here in Iceland right now filming an Top Gear episode.

The newspaper here in Iceland wrote an article about their visit, here are a few notes from the article:

- The cars that they are testing in Iceland are: Audi TT, Chrystler Crossfire and Nissan 350Z.

- Before coming to Iceland, they drove a McLaren super sport car from London to Danmark and ended up in Oslo Norway. The ride took about 48 hours.

- When Jeromy was asked witch car he liked the best out of the cars they were testing in Iceland, he said: "They are all dreadful, but cause we are in Iceland and the landscape is so beautiful, we don't wanna very negitive. That is why we deceded to choose a car that least irritates us out of the three. That is why I'm driving an Audi TT".

- Richard talks about this being his dreamjob, testing cars. A dream come true since he was a "little" boy... (he is still little) images/smilies/smile.gif

- Richard complains about the cold weather, but complains most about the beer being to expensive, said it cost's five times as much as in a pub in London.

- Richard drove the Nissan 350Z.

- James May drove the Chrystler Crossfire.

- The episode that was filmed in Iceland will be shown on Tv in middle of june.

The following pictures come with the article, sorry about the poor quality of the pictures:

Hope that is an interest to someone here images/smilies/smile.gif

Didn't read it but IS THIS A SPOILER again?

Viper007Bond · May 6th, 2005, 12:57 PM

Yeah, it's a semi-spoiler. I'll add a warning to the topic title.

Buba · May 6th, 2005, 1:00 PM

Yepp...

Well its the roadster battle... Kinda saw this coming...

I guess, the TT will win, but its unemotional and therefore be dismissed, the Crossfire is just rubbish and the 350Z be the better one somehow...

fuckers they should've tested an RX-8, but yeah since it's so superior I can understand why they didn't test it with those shitty cars images/smilies/lol.gif

probably more cause there's no convertible version but meh..

Kip_6666 · May 6th, 2005, 11:21 PM

By the looks of things i think they went with cabrios. But why in iceland?

swek · May 6th, 2005, 11:53 PM

It's quite fascinating to see people from all around europe reporting top gear news. We might be able to put a episode guide together even before the new season starts.

mpulztracker · May 7th, 2005, 12:11 AM

Whats the point in taking that trash all the way to Iceland ? MUST watch show to get the point images/smilies/biggrin.gif

andyhui01 · May 7th, 2005, 4:11 AM

the Nissan 350Z isn't trash images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Demented Freak · May 8th, 2005, 12:43 PM

James got shafted with the Crossfire, should be an entertaining review images/smilies/lol.gif

Radiance · May 8th, 2005, 4:32 PM

I'm not sure what the point is gonna be here. But taking a couple of convertibles to Iceland where it's freezing cold, ougth to be good fun to watch for us.
Especially since Jeremy hated the 350Z & Crossfire hardtop versions.

Leppy · May 9th, 2005, 1:00 AM

Should be good. James better go off at why the fark they went up there with rag tops in the freezing weather.

haha604 · May 9th, 2005, 3:16 AM

The upcoming series should be nice images/smilies/smile.gif
