Last nights episode of BBC's "Top Gear" was an absolute blast!!!
They had an on-track comparison between the 911 GT3-RS and the Ferrari 360 CS You can download it HERE It's quite big (60mb or sumptin) but well worth it An other weekly feature on the show is "A star in a reasonalby priced car" where they put celebreties in a cheap-ass Suzuki and let them drive the test-track with it (timed session). Yesterday they had no other than... Katie Price (aka Jordan) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) She was a bit nervous in the studio (maybe she wasn't too comfortable with her clothes on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)) I litterally fell off the couch laughing when I saw how she sat in the car. The Suzuki has a rollbar (just in case - you never know with these celebs) and the driver wears a helmet and racing harness. First I thought Katie wasn't wearing any belts at all... When I looked again, I noticed that she had the stock seatbelt under her arm and under her rediculously big boobs. Her boobs just didn't fit the racing harness!

I love "Top Gear". Haven't been able to find it in the U.S. I think they must censor it for fear we will revolt against the DOT rules that keep all the good fast efficient cars out and keep us driving enormous engined things with 8 cats on them.
Fiid. |

Nope, I don't think we can get it here in the US. I have quite a few digitized segments and some are awesome.
PLEEEEEEEEASE record/capture the CGT show next week, if you can! |

Jeroen,
Thanks for posting the link. Wish I could get this here at home on the tv. Anyway, very entertaining. I wish my car had "...a great big button that says RACE!*" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) -Ben M. *And of course a paddle-shifted six-speed coupled to a 475hp v12. |

Tiff on TopGear is no more, in fact the BBC made one almighty balls-up when they cancelled the show. Most of the presenters inc. Tiff Nidell went to another channel for a show called "5th Gear". Then the BBC recognized their error and reinvented it and got Jeremy Clarkson back but now the test driver is anon and only known as the "STIG".

I don't know about the UK, but here in Holland, there's tons of speculation about who the STIG really is...
Some say it's Damon Hill, while others claim it's Tiff Nidell cheers, Jeroen |

Stig was my LEAST fave Rutle! http://www.rutles.org/rmain.html
I have a back issue of Tiff driving the Jaguar F1 car when it came out... |
