That [censored]ing boat Richard was carrying around. :rofl:

The episode where they drove from Miami to New Orleans was classic, too. God love the South.

Pretty much any episode where they are given a set amount of money and asked to drive across a country = win!

The 3 Alfa Romeo's episode is probably my favorite.

The episode where they had to drive the most fuel efficient cars to a certain place in Europe in something like 18 hours was pretty awesome too. I think the Jaguar ended up winning it.

I've owned a few used sports cars over the years, but the one I really want is notorious for horrible engineering

Not really all that exotic, but it's the car I want and it'll be the next one I buy. It was between this and a 1969 GTO Judge, but unless I get a knock off I won't afford it.

I was always a fan of the Ferrari 288 GTO. It's probably my all-time favorite sports car.

My old man owns a '68 Vette which is ridiculous. The guy went off the deep end restoring it. He blew up the 427 big block and decided in his methane filled mind to drop a 508 bare block in it instead. With the tri-carbs, headers, sidepipes, and ridiculously massive engine that's meant for a boat, it was pushing 700 ponies.

Just looking at the car idle and vibrate was enough to make the neighborhood women excuse themselves to clean up the mess in their panties.

"The new Volkswagen Scirocco TDI.....Berlin to Warsaw in one tank"

I can't believe they wouldn't use Jeremy's commercial. Tragic. :shake:
(I've tried to find a link to it, but no such luck. Bloody BBC copyright fascists!)

Hate to say it, but my 9-year old suggested that the pancake-bunny was really a gerbil with some taco meat on it's head... TIFWIW. :wink:

New episode of Top Gear (the real one!) tonight @9 on BBC America. :groove:

I watched about 3 minutes of the American version. Rubbish!

Saw a Nissan GTR cruising last night. (Unser brothers?) Kind of a stealthy supercar. I understand you need a racing license to "qualify" for one. Off track speed/performance limited by GPS tracking.
