Top Gear - S12 EP1 - 2nd November, 2008 - Discussion

[vexor]

Motoring news and views from the usual team. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May decide to buy second hand lorries, despite knowing almost nothing about the world of trucks, and then set about discovering how easy it is to be an HGV driver. Jeremy is also on the test track with a scary Porsche 911, a tame Lamborghini Gallardo and a surprisingly talented Labrador. And chat show legend Michael Parkinson is the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car.

they'r eback, 8 or 10 episode run this time, not sure exactly

What "scary Porsche 911" could they mean? The new Ruf CTR-3 maby?

The GT-2 is my guess. He hasnt done an on camera test of it yet.

[pitfield]

Found it, thanks darling!

[robruf]

great episode, the LP560-4 is a bit quicker than the GT2, didin't expect that, the lorry part was very funny and entertaining, cannot wait til they go to the US next episode

[SHIZL]

quicker than the gt2 i dont think so i like how the launched them over a huge painted strip for the awd to use its traction advantage and u notice how he didnt want to show the time it ran its to bad clarkson hates porsche yo really see how insanely awsome the gt2 is.

[The Stig]

Obviously the GT2 was faster than the Lambo. Great episodes, they're getting crazier every new seasons.

[robruf]

anyone know the GT2 lap time?

[LEXION]

Im so excited, my Sundays are going to be so much better again, woo :-D

5 more sundays to go :mrgreen:

[martin100]

Yes great first episode indeed! After all this time without TG UK and only 5th Gear and TG Australia to watch, it becomes really obvious how incredibly good the UK show really is... can´t wait for the rest of the series and especially the new Veyron feature! :mrgreen:
