Top Gear - S10 EP5 - 11th November, 2007 - Discussion
 
Quote:

We take a sideways look at the dirty business of commuting in the capital, as Jeremy, Richard and James race each other across London.

Hammond's new hair-do gets tousled by the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster in a race against a man with a rocket-propelled rucksack.

The hotly tipped Caparo T1 arrives on the test track, but will the weight of expectation stop it from knocking the Koenigsegg from the top of the lap board?

And our star in a reasonably priced car is pop impresario Simon Cowell.

Sounds like an average Top Gear episode.

regele 11-04-2007 05:54 PM

It sounds quite nice to me actually, we finally get another race between the presenters, too bad it's not longer distance though, the caparo test and sometimes those type of races that Hammond will do turn out nice(see RS4 review).

^^ yeah but look at it this way, the T1 is pretty much a full on race car where as the CCX is more of a road car

Cowell is back eh? Should be interesting to see if he can post the fastest time again. Does sound like sort of an average episode, but to be totally honest, I didnt really enjoy the last episode so Im sure this will be better.

carguy_88 11-06-2007 08:36 PM

Simon Cowell again? :roll:

Sounds good to me! What are you all complaining about? The good thing about TG is that the features are mostly better than expected even if they sound average or boring. 5th Gear is usually the other way round :wink:

Completely agree. It's not really a fair comparisson. It's like comparing a Radical SR8 against anything else basically. The Radical will win... so the same could be said about the T1. For me the CCX's laptime will still be the benchmark :D

Well, the T1 is supposed to have a closed cock pit ;)

pagani 11-11-2007 05:24 PM

Damm the caparo t1 is fucking fast it beat the ccx whit ease the lap time is 1,10 minute ten something if they can fix their problems whit this car than it will be kick ass.
They schould go after the norschleife lap record whit this.
The carparo is a true track car but not road car but it's still street legal so if you have huge balls you can drive it on the road.

It is safe to say that Topgear budget is INSANE judging by the T1 review!!!!!

nthfinity 11-12-2007 01:21 AM

The stig doesn't understand normal things like bathing, or stairs... amazing he made it to the airport!

This goes to show that Macca F1 engineers have no clue how to set up suspension on a street car.... imagine how fast it would be otherwise!

Win one for nthfinity vs. macca F1 fanboys :P

AMV8 cabrio.... i dono .... nice to see its nice.... but i'm not such a fan of the drop top in general.... unless its a roadster/speedster ;)

Nice interview with Simon Cowell... not a nice looking lap IMHO... but aggressive. so it = fast.

Thanks Big J :)

The race was the icing on the cake for me, proper old school top gear race, even if it didn't only have cars in it; and that speed boat.... :love:

LEXION 11-12-2007 02:06 PM

a bit boring....and a bit too much fuss over the ''deadly'' Caparo, with the whole UK Ambulance Fleet, like they could carry him in 3 ambulances at a time, if he would got hurt......

The London race was verry good...more of that please :D

jorge 11-12-2007 11:49 PM

I was extremely entertained with the episode, IMO one of the best ever

carguy_88 11-13-2007 09:36 AM
