Your favourite TG segment/moment (post it if possible)

haz · June 2nd, 2004, 05:51 PM

This should be interesting!

I guess mine is when Jeremy is taken out on a spin with Lambos cheif testdriver. Jeremy almost wets himself, I've never seen him that "afraid" images/smilies/lol.gif

There are plenty more though, and if I shall mention non-TG segment/series, it'll have to be either "Getaway in Stockholm" 1 and 2 (of 4) and when a Swedish motorprogram takes Dahlbecks 900+hp VW GolfIII out for a test aronud the track. (That car was insane...it's dead now though...) anyone else seen it? (I'll try to find it one the web, then post it..

There are so many to choose from...
The "Darth Vader" bit with the Noble M12 was hilarious, but one of the most memorable segments to me is when they attempt to destroy the Toyota pickup truck. images/smilies/lol.gif

haz · June 2nd, 2004, 06:17 PM

Yes, the Pickup one was one for the records...true enough..I' even showed it to my dad, 'cuz he's only driven Toyota his whole life (14 total) and he LOVED it. He said "son; that's what I've been saying my whole life, nothing beats the quality of Toyota) Priceless...
Have you seen Dahlbacks GolfIII? (Still trying to find it on the web and Kazaa Lite..)

justin syder · June 2nd, 2004, 06:21 PM

there really are so many but i'd have to say the number one memorable moment for me was when clarkson goes crusing in the SL and says, "but if i had a hard days work i would woft home, listening to the sounds of coldplay."

then coldplay song comes on via voice control and he just relaxes in a very nice momnet that i would love to be able to create someday.

ESPNSTI · June 2nd, 2004, 06:22 PM

Haven't seen the Dahlbacks Golf, would like to though images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

.

^^ is that epi with the SL, the same one as the one where the Stig steals Clarkson's car, cuz that expression on his face is another one of those great moments.

haz · June 2nd, 2004, 08:02 PM

Alright, I just finished DL'ing Dahlbâcks 900+BHP GolfIII, and the clip is a must-see for everyone who likes unique built cars that stand out and are insanely quick

The clip is in Swedish, and the first cuple of coments are; "this is insane, and the car is truly a definition of a monster built for the streets"

So; can anyone here help me post this on this thread? I'll for instance send it to you via www.yousendit.com and you'll post it after that. Sound ok? Lets do it images/smilies/wink.gif

(It's most DEf worth it images/smilies/wink.gif

oliB · June 2nd, 2004, 10:29 PM

Hi!

I know the Dahlback Golf, but it's a Golf IV! (actually just about anything is modded)
That's what the dyno tests says:

Quote:

Max. effekt motor 527.6 kW @ 5.780 r/min
Max. effekt drivhjul 432.2 kW @ 5.780 r/min
Max. vridmoment 928.6 Nm @ 5.250 r/min

They added a comment though:
Maximum power is reached between 7800 and 8200rpm, impossible to measure because of wheelspin(4wd)! images/smilies/eek.gif

Here it is:

PS: It's road legal, at least in Sweden. images/smilies/wink.gif

haz · June 2nd, 2004, 10:38 PM

Just realized now I've written GIII which abviously is incorrect, it's ofcourse a IV ... images/smilies/oops.gif

(There are less than ten ((minor)) components on the car that are original)

Renesis · June 2nd, 2004, 10:58 PM

Viper007Bond · June 3rd, 2004, 11:40 PM

I don't really have a favorite, but the first ever clip of Top Gear (or Fifth Gear for that matter) that I ever saw was a small clip of JC's voice talking while this guy drove around a Ferrari and it's engine blew. He was talking about how the guy started out as a truck driver delivering stuff and then eventually became a Ferrari test driver.

ESPNSTI · June 4th, 2004, 12:11 AM

That's out of the very old Top Gear series, I practically cry every time i see that engine blow images/smilies/cry.gif
