Top Gear and American Muscle Cars
Slightly off topic but stillmotoring
The latest episode of Top Gear was on TV last night, the 3 (funny) presenters were off to America again to testsome American muscle cars from San Francisco to Bonneville Salt Flats to break some records...
Check it out (fast forward to around 15 mins to go to the American Cars part)

PMSL at their antics and the VISA problems!

RE: Top Gear and American Muscle Cars
i get a message "sorry, this video is available only in the UK".....
WTF??? [:@]
So, little known (and terribly secret) fact: last week at the salt flats, Jaguar was out there testing a new and highly modified'XF-R' for a couple of high-speed blasts.
Along with them was A VINTAGE CAMARO... built... serioulsy built. Reminded me of old Dan and RJ Gottleib's Camaro.... turning 230mph blasts, over and over.

Yep, great as always Buck.........man I had a laugh.
Loved the bit where Clarkson was n Hammy revved up their big V8 muscle cars next to a row of parked cars and intentionally set off the car alarms, then burned rubber between lights only to get a " pull " by the cops n a ticking off

Love that episode...I've been lurking the cadillac forums and they are obsessed with any coverage on the V models...
It's hilarious when May drives the v right off the road after/during a burnout...that was hilarious...
You can watch the episode here...but i warn there is a pop up that isn't wanted...I use mozilla so I am able to block the page. Like they need to do that...try my hardest to stay clear I hate it when people do that...[:@]

"If you've got a pussycat doll, Lewis, saying your going to get it tonight, here's an idea, got to bed and have it..."
"I've already wooon it!" (Hammond)
Man I wish they shot a show that would air here in the states...I enjoy how unusual some of the things they say are or are able to say...
"Can I run into May when we stop..."

Do NOT watch the episode using this link....if you install Zango you will get spyware on your computer...just search for "zango" on youtube or google it and you will get an idea.
