New Top Gear

[Chris]

Yeah really enjoyed last nights episode too. Episode 2 and 3 of this series seem to have got a good balance of interesting information, Awesome cars I'll never be able to afford and a bit of titting about. Hope the rest of the series is like that!

So, it has to be asked; which would you prefer? The Porsche 918 Spyder or the McLaren P1?

Personally... I'm preferring the P1, BUT I've never really liked Porsche's

The new hybrid technology being developed is incredibly fascinating though - the fact that the 918 produces less CO2 under normal driving than a Prius is quite impressive. Once this technology boils down the technology tree to standard family cars, it will be a huge step forward.

On a personal note, I'm beginning to really want to get on with the work on my car, as the new gearbox I have for it has an LSD which should hopefully transform its performance - I was talking to a friend this week about it who was talking about how much better it would feel and then the clips from tonight with the Golf GTi reminded me... obviously I doubt it's going to be as impressive as the Golf, but still

The Prius is a dirty emissions car compared to a normal car when it is running on petrol due to the extra weight it has to lug around.
The Golf looked good though and as for the public information films :rollin

And did we hear who ever it was riding past them whilst talking the creams?

[ChristoT]

I believe it was our very own Apage16!

[Skippernick]

Nice one couldn't remember who.


You're making a habit of being useful know. :lol

You mean I'm normally not?!

I like the appreciation, but resent the implication!!  :lol :lol

[apage16]

Really!???


So that was the bit in Soho? with Clarkson and May dressed in High viz yellow?


I haven't seen it yet!


I'm practically famous! 

[apage16]

Nah...


after further research, it wasn't me you heard. I rode past them before or perhaps after they were having the cup of tea!


And I know it wasnt me as at the time my bike was sounding like a V8. With no exhaust. Firing on 3 cylinders!!


Jump to 05:32 to see/hear for yourself...

Did you wiki about the nose......quite interesting

[Skippernick]

SHhh don't tell any one, no one will know!!!

[Dead Eye]

That was an awesome vid, loved the humour ^^

[fireblake]

That was very good, my only criticism was that you never mention the Cenotaph after Downing street. but otherwise a very good blast around the Smoke. As an ex Courier from the 80's it was a great seeing some old favourites again. I could feel impending doom from the cobbles so well done for staying upright. Thanks again

Thanks guys!


It was a good crack. Used to live in Soho, so nice to have a blast around the streets I used to walk around!


After watching the Top Gear episode, I'm surprised I didn't see them a few more times! I was criss-crossing over Piccadilly Circus quite a few times!


Also, FYI, I've got a FOC-U video in the pipeline...
