    Top Gear at it again....

    Sorry but Car darts!, whoever thought of that is a genius

    How the hell did that Audi do that journey ???, thats just truely unbelievable.... the reserve tank was how big?

    Car Darts was cool, genius adding a caravan into the mix too

    Just gotta think how long you had to keep the revs on the Audi to manage that journey tho...

    They've got an article in the magazine about the Audi, apparently it was running on all of half a litre in the pump

    Car Darts was a classic too

    It was another quality installment - it really is great. That is unbelievable how that audi managed that trip, that is mega way to go...with twin charged V8 or whatever it had...:S

    The car darts was just cool

    And the carrera GT as impressive, still rather have the SLR though...

    O and also, the snooker bit, that was damn impressive!!!! :O

    Clarkson can be a bit of a love/hate thing - and thats got nothing to do with wether you agree with what he says or not. (I like him as a presenter - though I find some of his views off the wall - he's much better when he sticks to talking about cars).

    Looked like a Saab

    Not long enough look to be sure though.

    I don't remember them showing it in the line up.

    Its gonna be a day time when theres no top gear on a sunday again, that Audi, OMG stunning, makes me realise my Dad's Jag which needs to tanks to go from Aberdeen to Birmingham is just like insanely stupid economy wise, its amazing to think these cars see the light of day, the petrol companies must be dreaming up way of reverse engineering petrol to make sure their revenue don;t dry up with engines like that on the road....

    The convertable looked like one of the Saab 900 series.

    I agree about Clarkson, it's a love hate / thing. I used to think he was a bit of an arrogant git, but have warmed to the fact that he has an opinion and is more than willing to argue it out. More than that he is really enthusiastic plus knowledgable about cars.

    Pehaps his finest moment was for Greatest Britons when he did Isembard Kingdom Brunell, who is the Greatest Briton. But that is perhaps a discussion thread for another forum.....

    A very knowledgable guy, doesn't particularly care for what people think of him and just gets on with it. Need more presenters like this on T.V to.
