RedM Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Thanks for the reminder but it wasn't as good as the old Jamesmark reminders of yesteryear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSK Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I double posted , didn't see this. Drop top supercars trying to find decent tarmac like the best driving road in Europe episode. Should be a great way to start. Shame about the X-factor rubbish, not my cup of tea and IMo should be brushed aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Is the LFA featuring in this series? Hopefully, though production doesn't start officially until December 2010, and even then there'll only be 500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missile Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Great episode. What was that road called? I want to find a piccy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 It's called the Transfagarasan Highway aka, Ceaucescu's Folly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missile Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Spot on. Thank you very much. Fantastic looking bit of road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benkei Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Was a good episode I think, good start to a new series! So who do you think picked the best car? Overall, I would have gone with the Aston And how th hell did James manage to have an accident on that straight piece of road?! The camera didn't catch what happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why:blink:. But loved that one. So the aston for me too. Hamonds fezza seemed a little too complex, Sounded great in the tunnels though. Mays Lambo was very bumpy as you'd expect on the roads, But it looked great on the road at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 And how th hell did James manage to have an accident on that straight piece of road?! The camera didn't catch what happened It sounded like James stopped and the guy coming the other way didn't.. I would have gone with the Lambo, just for that crazy road (though I wouldn't have minded the Aston either). That Ferrari was very ugly, and seemed rather gimmicky - I don't think I'll buy one.

Who fancies a club trip to Romania? It's only about 1200 miles! We could do that in a long weekend. I'd be going in a Dacia Sandero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 That Transfagarasan Highway looks incredible, and I bet it's dry and clear there most of the time, so would make a fantastic spirited driving road. I'm in for a trip there! Oh, and the black Lambo for sure. Gorgeous car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I'd imagine that Romania's travel industry won't be too unhappy with that feature, either! It's probably their best kept secret, until now. I'd love a secret tunnel under my house for whizzing about in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Nice bit of road, although it had plenty of areas on the edge of the road with a big 30ft drop and no crash barriers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
