The Top Gear Thread

So I just finished watching the new season's first episode and remembered why top gear is the best show 'in the world'. Anyone else seen it yet?? Looks like block and his gymkhana two car made it on this season as they showed it in the little preview in the beginning. So I was pretty stoked about that. Without ruining it I'll just say there's a new fastest car on the power laps list which was pretty sick. Oh yea and THE STIG REVEALS HIS IDENTITY!!! All in all it was great show, awesome guest, and good challenge. If you haven't seen it yet, definitely worth a watch.

it's suppose to be, "The best show (silent) (pause) (wait for it) ..............................................in the world."

we'll see if it stays at the top. yes it can probably clear a sleeping policemen, but it's not technically a street car.

I completely agree with you. It was an awesome show and a good way to start the season. I'm so happy my favorite show is back!

Damn, that new Ferrari is one of the most amazing cars I've ever seen, it's def the fastest car ever, makes the Veyron look like a slug! Thats def the closest to an F1 car that you can possibly get, frigging AMAZING!

Not only did they beat the fastest time, but they SHATTERED it!

I'm waiting for the episode with ZR1 on the track. Which Audi did they have it running against in that preview vid?

The Evora review was funny, driving it all over the grass. I wonder what Lotus thought of Jeremy off-roading their car...

I think they're gonna pull that Stig reveal shtick again for the next episode for their guest of the week.

I can't remember where I had read it at, but supposedly only the actual "owner" of a Ferrari FXX are allowed to drive the car, and since the general consensus is that Stig isn't actually Schumacher, his run around the track in the Ferrari counts as his run? I dunno

And you know that was Schumi taking it around the track. He attacks and destroys race tracks like no one else.

dude I know!! The FXX has been out for a few years now but like they said there's only 30 of them and they all stay at the plant in maranello. That one was probably schumi's. The veyron is very fast but too heavy to corner like the FXX. Yea anyway I have no doubt the FXX is the fastest car on the track but I bet a couple seconds had to with the driver as well, Michael ****ing Schumacher!!! Saweeeeeeeeet!!
