i have to agree with clarkson.  it's a very quick beetle.    i test drove a cayman S this weekend and that's even uglier.  80k and ugly. ugh!!   this week i am lining up a test of the 135 and the tt 3.2L coupe. 

Blasphemy!  Porsche's designs are just stunning...  the 911 Turbo is a masterpiece.  :drool:  They're not overly exotic or horny, but they are elegant and timeless, like a nice watch.

new tt =  :drool:


also new episode out... :)

Youtube: topgear 12x02 ;)

Am I the only one disappointed with this episode?  I was really looking forward to the CTS-V vs. ZR1 vs. Challenger episode, but they really didn't talk much about the cars, or even really drive them.  And while watching them try and get fast times was fun, knowing the ZR1 can do 170 mph on salt means absolutely nothing in the real world...

I want to see these cars on the track, or on a beach somewhere, not on a straight road in America...

I do really dig that Fiat 500 Abarth, though.  Fantastic little car!

i just watched it last night.   the fiat did look like alot of fun.   it was so funny seeing clarkson showing his disappointment that the car didn't have the character of the old abarth designs.    too bad the boys couldn't have used the mustang, the new camaro and the challenger.

Getting to 176MPH in 1 mile on salt says a lot about the ZR1........

I did break the production record at the flats...

I'm looking forward to the Top Gear track test of the Vette.

Ah, watching the C63 AMG powersliding the Ahvenisto race track brings back some good memories. I have done more track days there on my bikes than I care to count. It is a very special track, one that could not be built nowadays - very dangerous with no run-off zones in most places and has a couple of very tricky and thrilling corners. It is also located just about two kilometres from Hämeenlinna city centre, and more importantly, the hospital where the staff is used to taking care of bike riders wrecking themselves on the track.  ;D

^Yes, it's hilarious. And a fast star in a reasonably priced car for a change, too.

It was obvious in the reasonably priced car video that he was fast, I knew he was near the top for sure!
