Top Gear reminder

****** missed it! I think it is repeated either tomorrow or Tuesday (can't remember)
 
Pretty low budget this week, but ****** funny.
Mondeo/Vectra/Mazda reviews + caravanning holiday
 
Caravan Holiday was class james May needs to go back to driving school ...lol
 
i think they got a bit carried away with the vectra review :lol: caravaning was a great bit of tv from the 3 stooges

this style is entertaining do miss the propr car challenges though..

I agree. I don't doubt that the Vectra chassis is predominantly an understeerer, but we all know that a car's handling characteristics can be exaggerated or minimised by the way it's driven. I'm pretty certain that JC was deliberately driving the car in way that over-emphasised the understeer. I'd even go as far as to say the Stig was doing the same, and that if he'd chosen to, he could have got the car round the track on a tidier line and in a faster time than he did

I've got no love for the Vectra whatsoever, but I do object when objectivity is set aside like that. Yes, I want to be entertained, but I don't want my opinions manipulated.

The rest of the show was pure class, though, esp the caravan holiday and James' admission (and rapid retraction) re driving while having a joint.
 
It has sort of become like a comedy show just with a few awesome cars chucked in!!

****** funny though, was killing myself laughing when they were towing the burnt out caravan home again!! lol
 
Oh yeah and JC said that the vectra was the 5th fastest 4dr saloon, has he forgotten about the new rs4??????

Unless verified, the new RS4 should have a 155mph speed limiter, same with the AMG models and the new M5, so indeed, the Vectra VXR is the 5th fastest production saloon. :scared2:

Top Gear Dog, as he is know, was introduced at the beginning of this current series. He is Richard Hammond's dog (Hamster is a keen dog owner & also presents BBC's coverage of Crufts).

Yes, because it will do 161mph, it'll only be a matter of time, before the local coppers trade there remapped Skoda Octavia's for these Vectra VXR's and start testing them on the local roads haha :racer: :haudrauf:
