Anyone watch this show?

I started watching it when I was in Scotland last year, and now it is on here in the US. Best car show on tv period.

Cheers,

Very gnarly automotive television program. I think Discovery (or one of their sister networks) carries it in the US. Their host Jeremy Clarkson did a pretty neat DVD called "Heaven or Hell" not too long ago. That's worth a watch too.

 

[Mr. dB]

Have you seen Clarkson's review of the Ariel Atom?

Best car show around. Clarkson is hilarious but also very knowledgable.

 

[Scotsman]

Last night they had a nun drive a monster truck, physics profs doing burnouts, and grannies doing donuts. They had a marathon on dicovery so I watched it for a few hours.

Mr. dB- no I didn't see that one.

My fav program on tv at the moment, Jeremy Clarkson makes me laugh so much

Mr. dB- no I didn't see that one.

They have the clip on www.arielatom.com, go to the "Showroom" page and select "Video".

I like this quote from the Man himself:

"If you do encounter someone over there(USA) who’s fond of performance cars they’re only really interested in how much g can be generated in the bends, whereas here those of a petrolhead disposition don’t care at all about grip, only what happens when it’s lost and the car is sliding. Then you are into the world of handling. A world where nothing but skill keeps you out of the hedge."

I saw all of those. The grannies had me laughing so hard I cried. They did a good job though.

Saw one episode where he showed you what speed you would need to be travelling at to beat the cameras at a speed trap. Was funny watching just a blur appear on the outer edge of the camera frame. Something like 167 kph.

He use to have a talk show on -- don't know if that is still on -- use to put all kinds of things in the microwave. The christmas lights and the tin foil were cool. And the turkey in the garbage can full of hair spray on the gas stove.

Holy shit that was awesome, I may buy one of those.

It is a pretty good show with all the exotics, but the guys on there are a little flaky....

Its fun to see them drivin the enzo's, etc...

btw, the new 2007 Mercedes CLK63 AMG will have 605 hp, and be the fastest production car itw....

You think you'd fit? I'm afraid you'd crush it.

Faster than a Bugatti Veyron, Mercedes SLR, Murcielago, Saleen S7 ? Do you have the specs ?

 

[jack sparrow]

Sounds pretty cool.

Maybe they have a fat kid model.
