Glad to see the top gear guys not only not appoligising for last week, but also taking the p*ss out of the complainers. Brilliant show to boot. ;D

Yup!

The only way they could reply! Smashing show indeed..... Great musical support as well.... but hey it's not like i'm going to a concert of the supplier tomorrow :P

Must be an omen...

Now which of the three would you have?

The Caddie

Camaro

Corvette

Charger ;) And I'd have that. I like the corvette but the modern models are more in the level above what most muscle cars are in, IMO.

Ah Sorry Challenger no Camaro


I dunno if  any of you  are subscribed to the TG newsletter but the Camaro Black looked menacing.

I'd go for the Caddie I think... a rather quiet car to see untill you throttle down!

You're all wrong.

Vette all the way, looked awsome, & did you see it powersliding 'round that corner?? It was amazing!!

I've never even seen a Vette going around a corner before, let alone powersliding like that! Top Car.

The Corvette looked mean and has come a long way since it's earlier models... But the Caddilac was nice aswell. It would be a hard choice.... The Dodge looks great, but sounds like it drives a bit dodgy when it isn't a straight line...

And BOO to the American visum-people for not letting them beeing entertaining! ... Look, a cow!

So thank you Final Gear and not having to wait until Wednesday :D...........Just noticed something about the Fiat Arbarth. As it stands, that car could not be driven on any road in Europe because of an illegal fixture. Under heavy breaking the hazard lights come on independently. As European law stand, hazard lights can only be put on, on a stationary vehicle :-?
Yes I know we all do it on the motorway when a traffic jam appears or a dangerous situation confronts us, or when towing and I know it makes sense and yes I do it myself, but for a major auto manufacturer to miss an effective MOT failure point, mildly amusing.

I think you'll now find that it is a requirement for the hazard warning lights to come on during emergency braking. My Citroen Picasso does it and I know of several other makes of car that have it as standard. Here in the UK the law has been changed to allow for hazard warning lights to be used on roads with a speed limit of 70mph to warn of  stationary traffic or slow moving queues ahead.

I think the requirement for Hazards to come on during emergency braking is fairly recent, our old one Picasso didn't our newer one (now 3 years old) does
