Oh my.
Oh my word.
£280k?
Hmmm, might not be able to buy that from petty cash unfortunately.
I loved the Wiesmann list 8)
Very very nice. If I had a spare 250k I wouldn't hesitate.
0-60, <2.5s for that lambo 😯
How much so we reckon?
€600k?
weight weenie lambo
2 million quid 😆
not seen it yet, no spoiler in title, selfish!
It's a thread about Topgear, of course it's about Topgear. Get a grip
Thought you meant one of the lads from that pish poor boyband.
That lambo was lovely, I wonder if carbon cycles can make a cheaper 'exotic' one 😀
"what's for dinner darling?"
nothing dear just thrown the cooker away
rare genuine 😆 at top gear
Auto brake fail 😆
Reminds me of the Volvo PR launch fail into a truck
Worth it just for the Spinal Tap revcounter.
Also loving the caravanners feature 🙂
"is that Stan Collymore?" - LOL Brilliant!!
Rachel
Stig at the dump.
I love it when they do caravans, proper school boy laughs
A catastrophic caravan failure? Didn't see that one coming. 😀
Singer is owned/run by Rob Dickinson, former front man of '90s band Catherine wheel, one of my favourite best-ever under-rated bands ever! 😀
Misleading
Read the title and got excited but seemingly Lee Brennan, the lead singer of boysband 911 isn't the star in the reasonably priced car.
I am disappoint
Brill 🙂
"I love it when they do caravans, proper school boy laughs"
🙂
My fave is when they bring the BTCC crwod in!
The dogging bit made me chuckle
Pmsl at the thousand yard stares when talking about the memories of the previous night in the carpark!
Best one for a while that.
caravan feature was proper laugh out loud stuff!
Any excuse.
thats been the best episode for a good while, the lambo looked like a cartoon on the tg track.
the singer 911 looked great and made some very nice noises.
lolled at the 'safety' brake thing on that mazda.
also lol @ 'stig at the dump' comment above ^^^
They should have had the Singer 911 and the new 911 side by side round a track.
Superb!
Two things.....
Peaslake car park for the dogging?
Stig with the caravans on the track? SKILLLLZZZZ!
Peaslake car park for the dogging?
I'm not into it but I suppose its as good a spot as any?
I thought I recognised it, from daytime ride trips!
🙂
Is it just me that had visions of a Singer Vogue with a flat 6 stuffed in the boot?
Shame I won't get to watch this until I get home in a week.
Not that it's saying much, but that was one of the better episodes in recent years.
Slight hijack! Not watched all the program's in this latest series yet so wondering if they have tested the New Jag F Type.
Loved the singer 911
Gorgeous looking thing, purposeful and not too in your face
The interior looked fantastic
Never really been a 911 fan, or even a Porsche fan for that matter, for many of the reasons Captain Slow stated, but that new 911 is quite something. But so is the Singer, and dammit, I want one! Now!
And the Lambo. Well, what can you say, it's utterly, utterly, completely bastard nuts! And a mind-buggeringly insane amount of money. But Hell's Teeth, who wouldn't want it!
Steve Tyler? Crap driver. Lovely bloke, crap driver. Lets have Liv, please. Pretty please. With a cherry on.
It's a thread about Topgear, of course it's about Topgear. Get a grip
Not read many threads then? Understand the phrase "tongue in cheek" I'll put a 😉 next time just for u 🙂
Top Gear break a couple of caravans again - not exactly original - I dunno - I must be getting old and grumpy - I thought the buying new things just to throw them away was vile. I also found myself thinking that I hoped Clarkson would have to clean up the destroyed caravan......... Christ I'll be buying the Mail next !!!!
For FRC 😉

Presumabley they should have gone to an actual resturant and trashed that instead? :roll:*
* 🙄 aimed at the complainants, not FRC.
when was the Singer 911 bit? was that at the start? must have missed it.
I thought it was pretty good this week. The Lambo is batshit mental, love it. And whilst the caravan thing was childish, it wasn't overly contrived (see hovercraft nonsense) and apart from the dogging rubbish, was pretty funny.
Oh noes! You mean it isn't all entirely real?
Next people will be complaining that Eastenders isn't a documentary.
FFS.
Next people will be complaining that Eastenders isn't a documentary.
No, I don't think they will.
It isn't? Says who? 😯

Back on to the dogging theme then, binners?
HOW MUCH for a craptiva in the UK???????
That was a pretty amusing episode all in all, but no idea why they had Steve Tyler on - what a singularly boring lap
The Singer was awful I just don't get the point.
Stig driving with those Caravans was amazing, the boys looked like they had a great laugh with the off road bit too and Stig with Lambo when he started to spin you could see him bringing back under control rather than flying off the track into rolling ball of carbon.
I thought the buying new things just to throw them away was vile.
Yes because that's why they really did it wasn't a stunt at all which is whey they used an empty skip.
I watched it last night. May can actually drive, it turns out.
I don't normally like the caravan smashing nonsense, but that was pretty funny for me, even as a [s]caravanner[/s] caravan user. Partly because I've always wondered what it would be like to properly rag it with a van on the back.
I do get a little sad though when I see some old car or caravan being deliberately smashed up. They were once someone's hard earned pride and joy, some family probably had some really great times in them, a special part of someone's life...
... but then I think they are probably really mouldy and rotten, and I think of all the f'in work I've done on mouldy rotten vans and I get more into the spirit of things 🙂
It's a shame the wheel came off that one on the Stig's lap, I'd have liked to see a good time being set. Then again, I'd also like to see caravans being towed by some properly powerful car. To set a good lap on the track, but also to see if it's possible to rip the body off the van by pure power.
HOW MUCH for a craptiva in the UK???????
My guess is that it's so expensive because, being American, it's loaded with more toys than you can even think of. In the absensce of any requirement for handling or driveability in the US, they sell cars based on the toys you can get.

And now put to a good use.
Having good times is a good use!
Yup it is, JC and James certainly had good times.
Didn't quite get the buying stuff to throw it away either. The scene in the car park was quite funny though. And the piece on SUVs in general had a message behind all the silliness. That they're (mostly) just hatchbacks on stilts.
I think Hammond had the best time of them all though. Pulling off the line in the Siesto Elemento...
WAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAAAA
Repeat....

Korea, expensive for Daewoo.

I am kind of hoping they took it back out along with the cameraman that was filming from the bottom of the skip.

more expensive hatchbacks on stilts

people should be careful what they wish for. I'd love to drench some one who complained that the footage shouldn't have been faked
and yes I loved the caravan stuff
Not seen last night's episode yet (clashes with kiddie bedtime and I had French 'zombies' to watch).
But, if you like 911s, you might like the Bugatti Head of Design's classic stripped down 1981 Porsche 911 http://www.iainclaridge.co.uk/blog/24093 - I don't even like cars, but love this.
😀
Walking through the store with axes, shovels, plastic sheeting and bags of lime.....
That they're (mostly) just hatchbacks on stilts.
Well, they have higher towing capacity generally, and 4wd is more likley to be an option. But otherwise yes, silly, and less good than an estate.

Driving past a scrap yard must be like watching a snuff movie for you 🙂
Peaslake car park for the dogging?
I've seen a fair few used condoms there, so it seems quite fitting. Got it on iplayer, ready to watch ce soir

More like one of those sad tearjerkers.

Can't link to the video for some reason
I'm sure they haven't left the stig in the skip either 🙄
Well, I spotted ours lurking amongst that lot... You won't get a caravan up here:
