Just wondering if anybody else noticed the mk2 180 half buried in soil in the art exhibition. It looked pretty cool as if it was bursting out of its grave so to speak. Ive had a quick search on google for a photo but cant find anything.

He was on a motorway before it happened and on a dual carrage way afterwards so I think it was genuine
not.
if it wer a real proper speed crash it woulda been more damaged, dont really care though tbh, can look too much into things like whats set up, just sit back n enjoy it, spot things if u look like jezza wasnt dring during the flip in the tunnel and it was a diff tunnel, but does it mater?

If I'm honest I'm getting a bit fed up with Jezza being an idiot on there. I don't know sometimes how angry May gets with his messing about, but he looked like he was gonna smack him one when they knocked over his "sculpture". For example .... I liked the painting idea on the 6 series, but he had to be different.
Just all the little knocks he gets when they go on trips etc .... He's getting bullied. Call the :police: Or start bulking up James and get even .... :strongbench:

Agree with you on that Dan, Its no longer a 'car' show, well not like it used to be. Its just sunday night entertainment. Must have been 15-20 on the noble and that was all the car airtime in last nights show.

Noble was nice ..... I'd never have it over the others though. Looks like a kit car if I'm honest. Did they say how much it was ?
Oh ... And I'm determined to find out how fast I'd get from 40-60 in the Z'd. Jezza made a big deal of it doing it in 1 second.

Yeh they said it was 200 grand :yikes:, gorgeous car though. I know the 180 is quick but is it that sort of quick from 40-60? Ive got a 120 so dont even bother trying stuff like that!

No wont be that quick thought the noble was fair heavy though didnt they say it was 1250kg isnt the 180 only 1270??? Maybe I miss heard was on the phone at the time lol
Dan1971
21-12-09, 11:42 AM
Yep ...1250 for the Noble.

They set most things up.
I run the same kind of carwash that was featured in the Espace Cabby episode and the amount of bullshit that went on in that small segment, for me shattered any illusions of the show being anything other then a completely scripted event.
Its fun to watch mind.

Anyone else think this series has been crap so far? Nowhere near as funny as previous series. Im looking forward to the xmas special though if its as funny as last years.
The paintball in the plums was hilarious
well il keep watching it still think its top class, still makes me laugh

it's funny, but it's getting a bit silly for me these days... that Twingo topped it off for me. Half of it looked fake or computer generated - the flip especially.
Randomly crashing into stuff is getting a bit old and boring
On the other hand... keep up the crazy racing stuff. The airport vehicle support race was fantastic!
id say the flip was real but it wasnt jezza driving, diff tunnel, but who cares lol:P
