Yeah, decided I wasn't going to watch it anymore, cos of the buffoon, but watched the r/c cars, then the buffoon in the RS4. So glad the
climbers won, especially the base jump!
If one of these stunts goes wrong, it'll be the enf of his career. Unfortunately it will mean someone else getting hurt.

Love him or hate him JC certainly has it sewn up.
I can just see him sitting down at night and thinking "what fun can I have next with the license payers money" or "what car do I
really want to drive"
That climber was incredible but he knew exactly what he was doing. I probably took relatively greater risk Karting this afternoon. :-)
Just a bit of a pointless exercise but not as bad as the tank and the Range Rover though or the snipers and the Merc.
You'd probably do it too if you could get away with it.
I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.

Hi,
Did anyone watch the program about land speed records on after top gear.
Anyone feel like strapping a jet engine on top of their car and going for some sort of record.
You might need a couple of spoilers when you get past 600 MPH

Is an amazing program had seen it once before.
Imagine trying to get some info on how to rebuild the engine you've just bought only to be told "i'm sorry sir thats still
classified" then trying to come confiscate the engine
...then after spending 6 months rebuilding it from scrap with no plans, some ritch bas**rd somehow goes out buy's 1!
A very good tale of brains and inginuity over endless money!

Top gear Season - who knows?
Dr Who's not back until the new year although there is a christmas episode due before then
Battlestar series 2 has already been on in the US - 1st 10 episodes anyway, think the remainder will be on in the new year. Not sure if sky or sci fi
have the rights now (was Sky in the UK, Sci Fi in the US)

some clever editing on the rock climber bit! made him look intergalactically amazing when his achieviement was only fantastically amazing.
Every 20-30 feet maybe he would have had to stop for his belay guy to climb up to meet him. Bloody impressive though I'm very envious and nice
car too!

How was it filmed? Was there a guy on a rope above them both with a camera?

There was a helicopter below them at one point, may have had something to do with it.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

More like the 27th season under the top gear name.
I used to be called "Wheelbase" and started about 1967 the name changed in the early/mid 1970s. It skipped a couple of years when most of
the team deffected to 5th gear.
Over the years any connection with real cars progresively went down the toilet.

The Vanwall with the Jaguar engine. Stirling Moss drove the original. I liked the tyre tread on the mudguards (which didn't quite cover the
tyres ), nice effect.

The vanwall was fantastic, I want those cyclewings, can certainly see a market for them. The car seemed huge or was that just the hamster driving it?

I saw the car at last years historic motorsport show, it is a fantastic car and i ould love one, but the one thing that stood out was how crap the
wings look . I thought that they were a quick bodged on afterthought to make it legal and would have to fall off the first time you used it.

Why oh why did they not let the Stig lose with it?
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
