I have to say the Typhoon was ok, but the engines could do with a bit more grunt

See left for the most powerful engines in the Royal Air Force.

Either a berkeley or a bond?

Anyone who missed it, get Virgin TV, they have it on replay TV... Else final gear will no doubt have it in a few days (or sign up for the BBCi Beta test like I have).....

rusty nuts - 28/10/07 at 09:27 PM

It's a Bond , IIRC the Berkeley had two wheels at the front and often had Mini engines fitted. Even then people were taking bike engines out!!

mookaloid - 28/10/07 at 09:33 PM

bond Mk F or G

The other car is a peel trident. See here: Peel Trident

So, the Peel was made on the Isle of Man.

And Jeremy Clarkson (who thought the Peel was the greatest car ever seen on the show) lives on the Isle of Man.

Is production about to restart

I think the fact he got to sit in a meeting about environmental sustainabilty and corporate social repsonsibilty whilst reving his smokey two stroke will be why he said its the greatest car ever built.

Can't imagine too many offices being too chuffed if you turned up in one of them

Great show as usual - that euro fighter vs veyron was ACE!

Loved the way the lexus cocked up too
