The Top Gear/Fifth Gear Video Thread

I liked the idea of the Panamera but the front end could have used some work other than that it was fine in my book and as they said it was very telling in the corners lol almost prefect 50/50 weight and a pretty large engine makes it quite a nice ride if you dont want your balls jard off and carry the kids around =)

Hamster did say he prefered it to the M5 too, so I guess that's saying something. First ever 4 door sedan Prosche makes, and he's putting it at the same level as the iconic M5. I guess that's saying something for the engineers.

Agreed and it will only continue to get better and more refined as the years go on.

How about the new 200 car limited RWD lambo!! Oddd!!! (eekdance)

Well just go into the dealer and ask them for one thats not on fire!! Because its all about the stripe!! Thats even on the seats!!!


And omg he was like a kid in a candy shop!!
But I love Capitan Slows "Why didnt they call it Titbon" lol!!!

 

[Falango]

Haha, ya and Hamster's comment "They wouldn't have named it after him if his name was Ken Shufflebottom."

 

[judman13]

Well.....the season is over.....I just about cried at the end. Talk about effin sad!!!!!!!

Wow. What a beautiful piece of footage. Completely and utterly breathtakeing and the car was just as stunning.

Jay Leno sucked it up!! For a man that owns 150+ cars he sure should do a heck of alot better than a 1.4whatever

I liked the ending piece to send the season out. the VW commercials were pretty funny as well.

Leno's time wasn't great, but wasn't bad either. He really didn't seem to push the car all that much until the follow-through.

My twitter response to the last episode...

Oh Snap! Jay Leno on the season finale of Top Gear...Great show...Great guest...Out with a BANG!

Great show...I really dig the variety of bits they had in this one...From those Australian Beasts to Jay Leno and the VW ads (definite LOL action there) plus the finale with the V12 Aston and hardly any commentary from Clarkson (just amazing views and sounds)...Well done Top Gear! (first)

Can't wait for the next season to start! (woowoo)

 

[Falango]

Why am I thinking that the end of that is the farewell for Top Gear?? Anyone else get signs of that in the final section?? I could second guess that since earlier they said that Schumacher doesn't have cars to test until November, hinting at him being The Stig again. That could mean there's another season this winter.........I don't know!!!

 

[Falango]

Can probably scratch that. Their website says don't worry, we'll be back with another series soon. My heart almost stopped at the end of the last segment, it was just amazing.

 

[tunersteve]

I have to say, Leno's interview was good. He really hit some of my biggest gripes about the US and kept it interesting as well. Great SIARPC to end the season with.

And, btw, I called this weeks ago! Just didn't know when they would show it.

 

[Falango]

Haha yes you did. Great guest to have. His list of cars could have gone on and on, it's probably more than 4 pages long, haha. He's got like 200 cars doesn't he?? I did expect him to put in a better lap than he did, but his McLaren story was pretty good, haha.

I've watched that last clip atleast 10 times now, and it just gets better every time. Best Top Gear section ever. Simply perfect.

 

[kendon]
