I did wonder, but there are a few places while RH is driving it where you see other pink/red areas glowing brighter. Like RH's lips near the start where he said about it being where he lives and the royal mail vans / nobbys van.

Strange.

Top Gear use a lot of camera filters to bring out the colour and detail in the cars.

One such filter is the lomo filter, usually making the sky fade to black and the cars look lovely and saturated.

The colour appears to be legit. See here

I wonder if the paper bag is a cost option?

Brilliant. Just utterly, utterly brilliant.

The car wash was bit was just fantastic

And I need a CCX, now. Everything a supercar should be. Obscenely powerfull, loud, uncomfortable, difficult to drive, and utterly mad.

I want one. I want one so hard it hurts

i hear you fella, what a motor, bet those italian boys are quaking in their boots

OMFG that was truly the best top gear episode !!!!

Soo much in it, was different, and ****** funny. THat CCX is what a supercar should be, utterly insane. And did you hear the loud wine of the superchargers. LOL.

But the espace car wash made that show. And it really was destroyed, no faking going on there.

Tomorrow 7pm BBC2

Thank you. Was at the outlaws yesterday - didn't even know it was on.

Should be able to squeeze the repeat in before the football.

My Life is now complete (at least for the next 8 weeks!!)...

When Lost came back last week I thought there was still something missing... Then This Sunday 'TOP GEAR' cam back to complete me!...

I've not laughts sooo hard in a long time!... I almost passed out as I couldn't breath!...

agw_01 · 8 May 2006 at 09:54

mrk your sig is awesome!! I'll be laughing at that everytime I see it. Oh look, there it is again,

What a great start to the season. If all the shows are going to be like this, we're in for a good few weeks.

The Espace was just fantastic, and the Koneisiggiggggggggg was amazing. Gotta love twin supercharger whine :cool:

Was hoping for a bigger crash though

Roll on next week!

806bhp from a 4.7 V8 :eek:

can't wait to see how fast it runs a lap with a (ugly) spoiler on that rocket :cool:

Once again a brilliant episode, I'm gonna watch it again tonight and no doubt be laughing again when James starts talking about the monkeys

LoadsaMoney · 8 May 2006 at 12:09

Absolutely hilarious episode, poor James was frozen in the back there, "should i put the heater on" ROFL.

"Who is he", "no idea", fancy not knowing who Major James Hewitt was, was great when they were trying to get him to say who he was.

Even funnier when they pretended to get upset when he said he was moving away from doing TV work

Vix · 8 May 2006 at 12:27

You have found the person who would buy a car in that colour. Sorry, but I thought it was fantastic

Fortunately I am a girl, obviously the market Nissan were aiming for

I'm now just echoing what everyone else has said, but that has to be one of the funniest episodes ever - when the monkies were on the roof was hilarious, and then when they hid around the corner from the car wash, and realised it was on fire. I fell off the chair!

I don't quite get the dog. Its a lovely dog but not 100% necessary on a car show, especially as it hates cars. Hmm...

Just a quick note for my fellow Scottish residents. It appears as normal that we are not getting the repeat tonight, but if you have Sky, just go to channel 989 to get the English BBC2 which does have the repeat at 7pm.

If anybody missed it you can see it again from the bbc website now - and you can rate the programme:
