Default Was the NSX-R reviewed/tested twice on TG?

I recently got the 12/28/03 episode that had the Civic Type-R and the NSX-R. The Stig ran it on the track in the wet. Wasn't there an earlier TG episode where the "old Stig" ran it on a wet track as well?

Incidentally, I'm curious on how the NSX-R would've done on a dry day.

I found the vid. images/smilies/smile.gif The quality isn't all that great, but it's 24.4 megs, had the old Stig driving it (the test track was even more wet than the 12/2/8/03 episode), looked like the lap board was just starting back then. Still don't know when the full episode aired. Anyways, anyone wanna host it? images/smilies/smile.gif

I don't have that show either, so if you upload it, I'd appreciate the link as well.

Grannies handbrake parking? Gotta have that!
