?? no....on the normal tarmac track Hammond didnt bother finishing because he stuffed a corner up...which he did on purpose.... the zed lost against fwd cars on the ice track though....but they were set up for it
nope, the ones on sbs are a few years behind arent they? or a year behind.... check out the link i posted and you can watch the whole thing on youtube
was a funny episode, they didnt feature the zx enough.. i think they expected to be able to bag the shit out of it, but couldnt find anything wrong with it.. pulled hard, looked good, braked good and worked fine.
i thought they were 4WD and mid engined! exactly mate, it probably went around the track quicker than that FWD pos too but they couldn't have that so hammond had to spin
The other 1500 pound cars next to the Z look like garbage. Insted of the Z they should have got an Escort instead. The Z is in a completely different class to those POSs. Can't believe they got the Z for 1500 pounds. For such a calibre car, that shits me. Then they said its for porn stars also. Whats a Ferrari or an Aston, Hookers cars? Peter
Didn't think of it that way... LOL:zlove::zlove::zlove: Can't watch any more. Damaging a fine example of a Z32TT just doesn't go down too well. Should have got a 350Z instead.
lol at the ranting. Its for TV....its all STAGED and to get some giggles. Which it did.. GOLD episode and seeing a Zed on TV in Top Gears hands was awesome. LOVED it. Funny.... 3 cars I always wanted as a kid too. Capri, 944, and...well actually as a Kid i dont recall seeing a 300ZX lol, but I always wanted the "Datsun Z"
Didn't I hear them say the Ice cars were actually 4wd? But yea I was thinking the same thing, how about stick the Stig in the 300 and let him belt around the same track as the FWD car lol. But all in all, it was a funny ep and I enjoyed it. Esp the Piano at the end haha.
Yes the You Tube clips in 8 min 34 sec parts are the way to go.. very good feed. Stupid Clarkson throwing Hammonds drivers side targa top over the edge of the road... think I would have been down the hill trying to find it. The boys do have a different view on driving a perfectly good car into the ground as compared to the rest of us... I guess it's not their money and they're thrown the keys to something different and new every week. Think they might have gone one piano too far last night.
dropping a big ass anvil and completely flattening the thing would have been much funnier. come on, bring in the anvils! i might email them the idea for next season.
There hasnt been anywhere near enough caravan smashing/crashing/blowing up like previous years....maybe they have moved to piano's?
lol no. Its for "TV" and plus, while they do understand the passion and attachment one has for special cars, they also know they at the end of the day... it's just a hunk of metal.
how does the Z compare with the 928S4 .. Until I 'found' the TT Zed the 928 was the car I was intending to buy.. V8 and All Porsche designed and built ... the later models looked great IMO
