That show kicked serious arse.

I'm glad they had that Swedish car "Worlds Fastest Car" on. Badder than a Mclaren F1. Yea..... =-)

Power sliding on the beach in a Porsche Carrera. I'm in.

Sweet! My Tivo grabbed it...good boy, I trained you well.

If you google around you'll find quite a few episodes on the net. There are some real gems including some amazing cars we'll never see here in the US.

Hurray for fast cars and British hummor!!!!!

the only thing I 'wish' TiVo would allow you to do is to record a minute or two,
without having to be there watching it at the same time.

for instance,
I started a thread tonite about seeing a Red 914 on a Discovery Health Channel.

I'd like to program TiVo to record the 56th minute of this program, but that's not possible.
I just have so much stored on the hard drive, every minute counts! lol

I can't believe you have only just got Top Gear over the pond, back when I actually owned a TV it was the only thing worth watching! Clarkson is just pure genius. wait til you get the show with the 924 (or was it a 944?) and see what they did with it. Also the series where they tried to destroy a Toyota Hilux and failed.

I saw a few minutes of that show last night as I was heading out to dinner! The host was absolutly flogging some mid-engined MONSTER! What was that thing! I couldn't stick around to see.

Mike,

That color is Jaguar Racing Green. Below is a link to the Jaguar web site that gives you an excellant idea of what the car looks like in any available Jag color.

DUDE! That thing is dead sexy! It has a removable targa top but it's stored in the front. I saw the host remove it and stow it away!

914 catapulted into the future with a Rocket!

I think you can... you just have to set the time manually, like a VCR... you can also use tivo desktop(or other, hacker, software) to copy the program to your computer and edit it... right now though, on series 2 tivos, you have to use Sonic 'mydvd' to edit and copy to dvd...
