I hate the XSMG; that is all!
I don't see how "they're running out of ideas"; they showed a good selection fo cars this week; Kevin Mcloud is actually interested in cars as opposed to just being o nthere to plug some new single or book; IS-F vs M3 was interesting; Ferrari Daytona is an awesome true classic Ferrari.
The reaosn the XSMG was on there was because its marketing calls it the "supercar of the seas"

I wouldn't say it was close; he finished half a pint by the time Hammond got there

1600hp doesn't sound all that; I'm build 2 740hp RIBs at the moment and they only retail at £250k; not £1.3million

It's really hard to tip a double decker, wonder how many times they tried to do it. Buses was by far the best bit, rest was boring I thought.

My god you are the biggest bunch of moaning feckers ever it's an entertainment program now deal with it. At least they still feature good cars that you can dribble over the noise of Lets face it, if the BBC can make top gear appeal to 10m viewers by adding races and 'comical' elements then they will as they would rather that than an hour of technical details thrown out to the 5/6m who would watch it.

And tbh James May didnt drive the boat, he had a superboat driver working the controls. He just steered, and tbh how much steering is involved in a boat on the sea?

Sorry what? I must have missed that bit, they said that the new GTR is uncool and the Scirroco is cool? What a bunch of wankers seriously.

In fairnes, they said the GTR was uncool because Richard Hammond has just ordered one and any car owned by a member of the team is "uncool"
Mertin, have you ever "helmed" a boat on the sea; its not point and shoot; you probably steer more than a car, constant course correction and wave adjustment and throttle change with every wave.
Imagine driving a car on an icy road which was moving not only up and down but also in a direction of travel like a current.

they said the same about the Nissan; just as he put it on the board, Clarkson said to Hammond and what have you just had delivered, and he said a Nissan (didn't clarify if it was a GTR) The AeroMax was the next car on after that
