Veirion looks slow and booring, Zonda looked like a girls car but I loved that sexy slide around gambon :)

I was more interested in the MPG race, that jag was cool

Who else wasn't surprised at the veyron not being fastest? Of course it won't, its a fecking GT car ffs.

MPG race was a bit... dull. Impressed at the Jag though.

Agreed. In fact, i was shocked it did a 1.18. The thing weighs more than a 747!

That car is not about how it looks lol

Its the concorde of the automotive world. Nothing like it will be built again.

Shame really.

has a mcclaren f1 gtr roadcar been round the track??I was at leMans in 95 when they slaughtered the prototypes.. they were a proper fast car. I reckon it would make a really good time

was a great show (as always) but the prob with the Veyron is youve really got to wind it up before the power is unleashed - and on a track like the top gear one it cant release all the power - it just starts to get there and then you have to brake - unlike the Zonda - its instant...

Stunning cars though...

The Blackpool thing was brilliant - Stick on the Rollercoaster asleep - lol

And the Jag with over 100 miles left in the tank WTF!!!

Don't mean to change the subject but when clarkson had that cow on his roof and spun round so it rolled off that made me laugh- but was evil. poor thing!!

It wasn't evil, it was already dead.

There's (another) quote which could easily be taken out of context.

Done. :D.


Back on topic, they veyron looked so under control during its lap that I think it could have gone faster.

Even though it only did a 1.18, its still an awesomely stunning amazing machine :cool:

The noise from that Zonda tho!!!!!

Personally would much rather have the Zonda. I'm normally all about the engineering, but the Veyron really doesn't inspire me :confused:
