    Top Gear Transit Challenge...

    I have to say i think this weeks top gear was superb, the simply sublime TV that was the Transit taken around Nurburgring.

    Sabine Schmitz

    Quite frankly this woman is an amazing driver, anyone who can do a 10min 8second lap in a Diesel! transit has my respect...

    The way she was scything past the traffic in the way was unbelievable...

    If Clarkson really has done his back in, i know who would get my vote to drive the cars about

    Aye, it was incredible. Rest of the show was as crap as ever though, never have I despised three presenters as much as the current shower of tw*ts.

    I'm not a big clarkson fan - hammonds is ok as long as he's had his Ritalin and James May's telegraph column is quite good.

    still wont make me watch TG though

    actually that diesel engine is only 5bhp off the petrol engine, and thus *probably* quicker (due to a flatter torque curve..)

    Best bit was when she overtook the superbike!

    Imagine the look on the riders face being overtaken by a van!

    ...or the second run and seeing the viper overtake you being followed by an transit!

    That was an excellent clip, fair do's . Loved the way she was cutting through the slower drivers in the Tranny though...wonder how many ended up off the track after being suprised by that thing pouncing on them...
