Top Gear

Last night's show was good. Ferrari F40 vs Porsche 959 :drool:

James May in the Lunar Buggy 2 was fascinating.

The Star In A Reasonably Priced Car bit probably won't make much sense to most of you, since it featured a British politician - but fair play to him for appearing on a show where he knew that the crowd, and presenters, would be hostile.

I think that when I'm a bit older, and ready to settle down with something a bit more sensible, I could quite fancy a second hand Jag XF (I don't think I could afford the XJ).

You certainly see some mad stuff on the show:

1) Landing a helicoper on top of a skoda when the skoda is moving.
2) Running a mini down a ski-jump.
3) Turning a three wheeler car into a space shuttle and firing it into the air

And countless other things, class

4) Attempting to sail a car across the English Channel

What was the big car Clarkson was driving and raving about? The new design for it they showed on the monitor was drop dead gorgeous.

That was the new Jaguar XJ. The design on the monitor was just an exercise, sadly. I've seen one in the flesh, and I want to like it, but it just doesn't look much.

Well that's a crying shame, not that I could afford it anyway, but still...

Well...I found out that Clarkson wasn't kidding about Albanian slang:

Last ep was great, with each of the hosts getting the chance to shine. But James May in the Moon Buggy 2 was actually quite moving:

Loved the 3 BMW test.
