I just watched advent video 1, and all i can say is wow... those times that Perry got with the first two cars are soooo different from white stiggy... who doesnt have a good line on turn 1 himself

does this mean that TG officially timed the Mercialago 3 times? the Zonda C12 S twice? the Lambo hitting a 1:29, then later something like a 1:25, then a 1:23 Either the Mercialago is easy to get, and takes time to get better results (those laps were very dirty) or Lamboroghini changed the setup from the first visit.

thanks Jabba very high quality that nobody has on those early eps !

Happy Xmas

Looks fantastic on my screen, still easy to use, but festive with it

The advent calendar is great, but reminds me i need to go and buy me one this evening... ops:

Currently d/loading the 1st vid, and i can't wait to see it in higer resoultion, thanks for the effort everybody 8)

Only prob is that, like Dani, i'm going to have to miss a few days as i'm going away for a few nights without internet access (lame - i know - especially in this day and age)

But anyway - looking forward to Xmas here, and in general!

Thanks for such a nice place to hang out at, Jabba, Dan, TT and other mods
8)

Well if you watch the clip you will notice strange massively wet patches then dry stretches which unsettled the lap. This was as a result of Top Gears scheme to make all times be done on a level playing field, it invovled a water tanker that wasn't big enough and a large bill ! So they retested them in natural conditions later I saw the ep at home on sky a while back where Jeremy explained this Very nice to see these old clips

It's a JW Christmas again! I'll be honest and say I kind of miss last year's MIDI Christmast music that was definitely a nice touch... but this year's advent calander is such a great idea! I was just wondering about the first top gear episodes..

I look forward to each day on JW! I recently got offered a pretty nice(paying) internship for the next 6 months.. so be prepared for a end of year bonus jabba and dan!

keep up the great work!

Wow *opens his eyes* This Christmas theme looks a lot brighter than the theme we're used to. My eyes still have to get used to all the light(s)

The advent calendar is a great idea! It enhances the Xmas atmosphere here at JW even more. It's about time I get my Xmas avatar from under the dust again. Thanks and merry Xmas
