that was fun indeed. it's impressive that the show continues to be novel

sometimes I am impressed by it's budget, but then I remember that beach assaults and tank-tag are likely paid by the Royal Forces as adverts for recruiting...


but the photography and editing continue to be top notch!

I'm amazed that thing waded to shore! Even if they put a ramp or something down under the water for traction and added some kind of snorkel for the intake (which I can't see there being), that's impressive. Looks like a good little car.
Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

Top Gear is hands down the best television show to ever air. Ever. I want all the seaons on DVD or Bluray whatever.

My site I used to watch them all on was taken down by the BBC :(

Awesome vid! Wouldn't mind having one of those.

I had an '80 USDM Fiesta (should I admit that?).

My first car and I added some mods. 55 HP stock. Used to be a place that imported/ sold performance parts - BAT - including turbos. I settled for a new IM and bigger carb...didn't help much. :-(
