It's up on Uknova! Sad, though, they've turned James May into some advocate for sensibility, which he definitely isn't.

I had another look. I like the old TG props you can see around the office.

Anyone else notice James is looking older than Jeremy?

I think you'll find Richard says "Bikers racing badgers" having watched it a couple of times, but of course I am human and could therefore be wrong.

I have to disagree - this is Top Gear we're talking about, not some random show on Animal Planet. Besides, you've evidently never seen a badger getting its knees down round a tight left-hander - it's an awesome sight to behold and much more amusing than a water-skiing squirrel!!! images/smilies/lol.gif

Exactly. They'd have to talk about the traction, power, and agility of the tiger and the badger and which they'd rather buy. images/smilies/tongue.gif

You are SO wrong ... Badgers are FWD, so they only do boring understeer, maybe lift-off oversteer ... Tigers are AWD ... that´s Walter Röhrl all over again ...
