What was all that "or now" stuff at the end?

Probably recording next weeks show straight after that one.

Edit:

A much better show than last week. More documentry than mocumentry.

Dave, one would imagine.

No, they were saying the lap would still be going if clarkson had built it

i.e it wouldn't have finished by now....or now.....or now......or now

Freefaller · 29 Nov 2009 at 22:15

At least they had a decent long feature about a decent car (Lancias).

Ah, that would make more sense, though I don't think it was that much of a funny joke! lol, they do love their own jokes, don't they.

I can't think of a way they could've really improved that episode, yet a couple of people are still complaining !

Good grief.

I'm disappointed that they didn't do a proper lap in the kit car.

It would have been nice to know how the £14,600 car 'built in a shed' compared to a £200,000 Bentley Arrange.

Which one's that then ?

A mate took me out in a Lancia Thema turbo some 15 years ago, utterly fast car in the day sadly it had no 2nd gear and used overheat quite badly, but just loved it.

and next week sounds even better

MOTORING: Top Gear
On: BBC 2 West (102)
Date: Sunday 6th December 2009 (starting in 6 days)
Time: 20:30 to 21:30 (1 hour long)

Jeremy Clarkson travels to Belfast to conduct an extremely thorough test of the Renaultsport Twingo 133 involving a tunnel, a ferry and the actor Ross Kemp. Meanwhile, Richard Hammond investigates ways to speed up your next summer holiday through the crucible of motorsport as he invents the brand new sport of airport vehicle racing. At the other end of the intellectual spectrum, James May tests the new Vauxhall Insignia VXR in the company of Margaret Calvert, the lady responsible for inspired design philosophy behind the familiar British road sign. Finally, Jeremy is on and off the track in the BMW X5M, Audi Q7 V12 and the latest version of the supercharged Range Rover.

Well it was only a couple of seconds off the DBS at the bottom of the board despite it being really wet and a couple of spins.

Oh and I'd forgotten how badly I want an Integrale.

That was a DB5.

Great episode, although I would have liked more of the Lambo/Airship section and less of the kit car part.

Chris Evans has a great taste in cars though. :cool:

I would love to see you drive it better in those conditions.

Good episode really, much better than last weeks

Brilliant episode tonight, best of this series by a country mile. The Stratos and the Integrale were awesome, not to mention the ending lap!
