    Yeah, great lap, great show. Not as good to watch as Jimmy Carr's Lap or Ian Wright, they were mad, lol.

    The Buggati Veryon net week, an insane 1000BHP!!!!!!!!!!

    I love the shows, when they have to buy a car, and then have challenges, Top Gear is class.

    they are my favourite too. I loved the porsche one (where clarkson made a table and chair set) and the "cheap coupe that isnt a porsche" challenge.

    Road works in the air? Traffic lights? Traffic congestion?, set roads?

    Didn't think so.

    Depends on the Cessna and the country it's flying in, together with the weather and IMC or VMC.

    A Cessna 172 will cruise at about 120mph, but it won't neccessarily be able to fly a direct route. If its Instrument Meterological Conditions (or a flight under the rules for such) they will haev to follow a rigid flight plan under direction of ATC (and there are roads in the air, called 'Airways'). If it's under VFR, it will have more freedom, but it all depends on the airspace and how much traffic congestion (yes, there's air traffic also!). The winds will also effect the speed, etc.

    I do hope they don't do the thing where they make people walk to an airport first though, that would be unfair, since you can land in any field provided you have permission!

    Good show. Lol @ the supercars for less than the price of a mondeo - the mondeo would have been faster than all of them!

    Bowdown @ the zonda. Sounded like an F1 car!

    Looking forwards to next sunday - the car whilst being damn ugly - is a mechanical masterpiece.
