Maybe they will have Guest Stigs for each episode. Quite possible?? Having Schumacher on just to drive the FXX could have been a possibility............and to drive the Liana like a dumbass, haha. Best lap ever.

 

[phyre]

yea, I can't wait to see what they have in store really. did you see the commercial with the three of them as kids saying what they want to do, and then the stig just..rolls by in his little toy car? lol it was good

haha.. yea, lol and he even took the camera out! poor guy Jumpinngg out of the way lol..

 

[Falango]

Ya that was the second trailer, I thought they were both great!!! THe preview of the series at the start of the episode was great too. Looks like it's gonna be alot of fun!!!

On a side note, I watched some other Top Gear I hadn't seen before, Top Gear Ground Force!!! For anyone that hasn't seen it, YouTube it, it's the most amazing episode ever!!!

 

[phyre]

haha the guy was soo madd, it made the show just to see his Face, epic anger right there..

 

[Falango]

I thought he was gonna knock Jeremy out.

Jeremy: I'm Jeremy Clarkson. (goes to shake Steve's hand)
Steve: (Turns around and mumbles) Ya I know who you are........

He was a bit pissed that his yard was on fire, had cement everywhere, and had a digger and a crane stuck in the grass, lmao.

 

[phyre]

haha.. yea, at least he lightened up later

until the fountain revealed its strength lol..

 

[Raynman]

[phyre]

Man, it looks Soo cool there, and it has his M S on it too, yeaa..

 

[Falango]

It's all starting to come together now, lol.

 

[phyre]

lol yup. so he's Not, the stig

or so we think _

: )P

 

[Falango]

They make us think he is The Stig, then they make us think he isn't, when he really coul be in the end..........I really don't know, lol. Just glad the show is back!!!

 

[phyre]

lol meeeee too : D

 

[Falango]

Anyone catch yesterday's second episode??

Pretty awesome challenge, they had to pretend they were 17 year olds and buy, insure, and mod a car for 2500 pounds. Then, McLaren F1 vs. Bugatti Veyron in a drag race (probably about a 1 mile drag). Any predicitons on who won?

 

[P2K]

Bugatti Veyron hands down, I didn't expect anything less.

I watched it last night, great episode. I really enjoyed the 17yr old challenge. And, as always, they find ways to mess with Captain Slow.

Anyone catch the Stig copying his helmet at the beginning in the office?

 

[Falango]

Yes I did, I thought that was awesome, haha. I was waiting for him to smash the photocopier or somethin, lol. I got a good laugh outta that.

I actually thought the McLaren would win because it's 1500lbs lighter, and it's such a simple car compared to the techno computerized Veyron. I wasn't surprised to see the McLaren pull at the start because of the weight. I figured the McLaren would have the advantage aerodynamically too, but 1001hp prevailed, but not by much.

As for messing with Captain Slow, couldn't stop laughing, lmao. The sneaking was priceless!

 

[Raynman]

Yeah, there are tons of visual gags around the office other than The Stig photocopying himself. A photo of the queen on James' desk. A photo of Will Young on Jeremy's desk. Gold bullions in the background. Teeth whitening kit on Hammond's desk. etc.

 

[Falango]

Haha, I never noticed those!!! Now I'm gonna have to watch it again for the teeth whitening!!!

i saw the queen, but didn't know who that was on Jeremy's desk. I saw the gold, too, but didn't think anything of it.
