Good episode, although it only talked of 3 cars.  Would have been good for another review of something else

The clutch itself will probably be something from Sachs or the like.

Is it me or ?

I am finding Top Gear rather repetitive and similar to previous shows just doing the head to head thing with different cars. It definitley needs a re think . Yes the episode yesterday was ok but don't you think we have seen it all before. Not original anymore . Needs some new blood and a woman would be nice like Sabine from the Nurburgring or VBH . Make it a bit competitive between the presenters , voting on our favourites etc......no hang on a minute we have plenty of voting shows already  :evilgrin:

I loved yesterdays show :happy2:. Even if seemed a bit repetitive.

That Lambo is :drool: :drool: :drool:

Top Gear does NOT need a woman! that would just ruin it...

The Lambo brakes got cooked by a Noob trying to go fast IMO.
But just a guess, i would still like a set of ceramic brakes for the golf  :love:

If they're gonna get a woman in, they should use the bird in the brown top with the sword in Italy. She had a nice pair of, um, eyes!  :drool: :drool:

Loved the Lambo and its "thrust mode"  :driver: Looks better than the reventon IMO too.

Think this one was a bit crap. Loved the hybrid car thing though!

It's the car that's used in the new series of 2 and half men. That fezza 4wd system is an interesting thing ie how the engine controls the gears for the front wheels

Yeah it is, but was a crap review of the system on snow! Hardly intended to use on snow! So non the wiser of the system, unless people want to use a 200k super car to take family on a ski holiday :signLOL: but I suspect they also have a range rover for that

I agree, however, that is how Ferrari marketed it. All the initial preview images and videos showed it on snow.



That Bentley V8 sounds brutal.

I stand corrected :happy2: still can't see many using one in snow.
