hahaha funny episode

i think they said that "rolls royce" has toyota's 3.3L V6 so probably the same one as in the older camry or in the lexus ES330/RX330

i love how they got the stig to pretend to be james may
lol

Top Gear is now on a break and will be back in October
around the 2nd or 3rd week of October to be more exact

on a brighter note, Fifth Gear will be back in a couple of weeks too

it looks like the Galue is a rebodied Nissan Fuga (Infiniti M35/45)

the greenhouse is the same, and the "piano keys" dash layout is rather unmistakable...

definitely am amusing episode for sure, i laughed a lot actually

never mind the fish car ... what about the German super car! that thing was awesome ... i would totally have one for my track car ... fastest on the board (even if hammond did knock it down) and so very neat & tidy around the track

and i agree that 5th gear isn't entertaining ... but whats the German show called? ... i have a feeling i could be totally ok w. that one to supplement my top gear

that Gumpert car some how reminds me of Porsche Carrera GT


the german show is called D-Motor

or DMAX D Motor to be more exact
heres an example of their show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qufFxrfw_I

also Top Gear America should air in a few months i think
and also Top Gear UK that will air in October will have 8 episodes for that season
and 14 per season from then on

heres more DMAX

Actually, it's 14 episodes per year. So we'll be getting less Top Gear from next year on.
