So you mean I can't crash into walls at speed and use other cars as bumpers to get around corners faster on a track???

Don't forget about taking a corner at 90mph and slamming into a wall and then driving away with no damage.
The physics of the real world are too realistic sometimes. :roll:

yea i have the full episode, he wasnt THAT far off haha, its gotta be so much different, video games suck...... haha

I just downloaded that episode and watched it last night, hah, interesting coincidence. Definitely a cool episode, the Corkscrew is nuuuuts.

And Jeremy Clarkson, Hammond, and the Stig are probably my favorite people in television ever. Good thing for torrents.

S4toSTI 01-11-2006 03:35 PM

Torrents FTW i agree 110 percent.

Awesome clip...I did another google search for top gear and watched some awesome drifting in the pontiac (vaxhal) GTO. They even got some forumla D drivers to come test it (Apexi FD, Top Secret Silvia)

A little off topic...but does the speed channel or anyone show Top Gear in the U.S.? it looks like a ridiculous show

sisforsurfing 01-11-2006 07:19 PM

Yeah, that drifting clip with the Vauxhall (GTO) is really cool.

Top Gear (stupidly) doesn't air in the US, but it's very popular in Europe and you can find what are called 'torrents' of all the episodes online at http://www.finalgear.com/downloads/topgear/

You need to get a client such as BitTorrent in order to download it, but it's pretty easy depending on how computer literate you are, and it won't mess up your computer downloading the Top Gear stuff. I've been downloading them non-stop recently, seriously an incredible show.

If any of what I said about downloading can't be said on the site a mod can remove it, I don't think any is illegal though.

240sxDann 01-11-2006 08:15 PM

I could have SWORN I saw top gear on comcast before...maybe I'm mistaken. But I really think I have.

96s14 01-11-2006 08:35 PM

MuddyREX 01-11-2006 10:27 PM

They actually have an American version of Top Gear on comcast cable.
