MOTORING: Top Gear

Channel: BBC 2

Date: Monday 8th November 2004

Time: 23:20 to 00:20 (starting in 2 hours and 42 minutes)

Duration: 1 hour.

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May present the motoring series.
Jeremy goes mountaineering with the new Land Rover Discovery 3, the world's
first hydrofoil car - the Dodge Viper - hits the track, and Joanna Lumley is
this week's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.


 
I thought it was funny when the trim came off!! why the hell would you put
plastic trim on the top of the sill? pair of sidesteps or sliders would be
better - didn't like the A bar on the front either.
but if my company car limit was £1K higher I'd have one!! - looks like the
Freelander HSE or a V70

Long since gave up listening to anything that prat has to say about cars
of any sort, let alone an off-roader.

Um... no. The Dodge Viper did, yes. But the Dodge Viper wasn't the
hydrofoil.... which, by the way, I saw in Focus several months earlier.
Love that roadster.

I liked the bit where he wrote VIPER on the track in tyre-rubber.

 
So Austin Shackles was, like

Pity he didn't do it a few months ago with the LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO. That
would have been impressive.

BTW, what is it with these guys who like to burn out tyres? Bikers
especially. You spend huge amounts of cash on the very best rubber, then
waste it in a brief display of drive-it-like-you-hate-it macho
exhibitionism. Plus, when you really need the grip, the rubber's cooked and
the tread is shredded to nothing. Still, I spose it looks good. Tyres are
something I never skimp on, but I try to preserve them as far as possible -
I know how many weeks' wages they cost. This stuff goes against the grain.

depends on who's doing it. The racers do it with a shagged tyre at the end
of a race, which is worth sod-all.

as to the other eejits, dunno.
