Aerotop Dave Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Hammond actually looked green in the face! That SLR sounds like a Spitfire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprz_rz Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I actually watched tonight and thought to myself, I could quite easily watch a whole days worth of TG back to back, and the three amigos are defo the funniest presenters that any program have ever had. They are tru petrol heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willson Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Yeah, really enjoyed tonights show. Was interesting to see, after Clarkson said he presented the show doped up to his eyeballs on painkillers for something or another Best episode for a while, was starting to go off it !

ivan Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 James May in the powerboat: "I think I've got Norwegian Wood". Priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 a tank of petrol last 19 minutes with the top speed of SLR, have to do it once before I die ! China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicmatty Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Thought the DB9 was a sensation, and the SLR of course. For those "big" fans, try UK TV PEOPLE & UK TV People+1 - Sky channel 566 and some days they often have back to back top gear. (Although sometimes its back to back airport!!!!!) LMHO tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmic Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 My God that DBR9 sounded awesome....Lucky buggers on here who got to go to Le Mans to see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I think Clarkson is a dick but he really work well on that show. I, too, now desire that SLR. One hundred and something BHP just to get the charger working! I did hear that right, didn't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 great show but did anyone watch car nation afterwards,in car camara with the block saying the only thing that will over take me will have blue flashing lights,he then slags off saxo`s and alike and whats he driving a zafria with skirts,i nearly pissed myself more then watching hammond be sick. Yeah I watched Car Nation too. I've never seem it before. Twas very interesting. I was PMSL at the middleaged guy with the 'stash going on about his powerful car and how he likes to surprise people that think they've got a fast car by leaving them for dead and watching them disappearing in his rear view mirror. I've got to get me one of those beasts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 My God that DBR9 sounded awesome....Lucky buggers on here who got to go to Le Mans to see them Oh yes... Shame they cocked up really and ran out of petrol. We asked one of the team at the Festival of Speed what the fuel problem was, expecting him to say it was the fuel pump. He said "there wasn't enough of it". LOL! The other one overheated. Definitely the best looking car at Le Mans this year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 yup good episode, the last two have been very forgettable but tonights was good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 What I don't understand is that if it's a race...how do they co-ordinate all the drive by video, helicopter video over the bridge etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I think Clarkson is a dick but he really work well on that show. I, too, now desire that SLR.

martynb Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Even though that Aston was a race car, to clip that much time off on a single lap was pretty impressive You can keep that Rover orange grill surround though - at least we know where longbridge is selling some of it's stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Saw the DBR9 at Silverstone - Mental!! The handling and power - put everything else to shame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Brilliant - I recorded it last night as I thought I would miss it. Can't wait to watch it tonight now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Flash Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 What I don't understand is that if it's a race...how do they co-ordinate all the drive by video, helicopter video over the bridge etc? I was thinking that too - and what was the camera-man driving to always be in front of the SLR to get the various drive-by shots? I reckon a white Transit Thats just being picky though - can see the whole episode making a "best of" compilation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Definitely the best looking car at Le Mans this year though. And hearing it whizz by with that V12 on full chat accelerating away from Arnage...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
