As you have one of the best pictures of a 355 in your sig that I have seen recently...I am gonna add you right way. BTW I remember seeing your post on RF saying that you hoped that RF got these videos as you prefered to post on RF rather than JW....is this still the case may I ask ?

A ninja with a heart?

Everything that has been put in the vault is still there... i remember TT saying that it will be sometime before a vid is deleted from the vault :D

themailman34 10-24-2004 06:49 PM

Can't wait to see the expression on Clarkson's face when he is cruising around in an ENZO! :D

TT 10-24-2004 06:50 PM

Yep, never a vid was deleted and it will be like that for a long time :D

First of all , I'd like to thank you for bringing christmass early to me this year. So, thank you Jabba.
I got the activation message from TT and I thanked him also.


Well, I still visit RF regulary, but don't post as much anymore.
Afterall, that was the first automotive site I joined.

Things are going downhill overthere, as you may have noticed.

I visit JW almost everyday, if I have time ofcourse.

So I could say ,I post here more. And that will also be the case in the future.

I also got back my camera ( broken), and I posted some pics right away, as you could see.

More nice pics to come soon.

Thx again.

Saw Top Gear tonight as well, including the trailer, it's going to be an awesome series! I see a serious orgy of supercars all going for the TG lap record, who's coming out on top though? Enzo in with a shout but can you rule out the Macca F1?

Dont think they can beat the CGT ... but if the CGT is beaten lets hope its by the Enzo

themailman34 10-24-2004 07:04 PM

Let's hope the Enzo, CGT etc.. are tested on a non-raining day. Either way, the record will probably be broken

mrpushrod 10-24-2004 07:10 PM

Not sure, Enzo has higher power to weight by a little and is similarly high tech, will be little in it. McLaren has a much higher power to weight but is a lot softer in its springing. I reckon the Enzo has the best chance.

crayzayjay 10-24-2004 07:55 PM

The CGT (supposedly) usually outperforms the Enzo on tight circuits but i'm sure it will be close nonetheless. But what about the F40? Sure it's old but we're still talking over 400bhp/ton and mountains of torque.

Actually there's a pile of classics / cars no longer in production which i'd love to see thrashed around the TG test track. Here's a wish list, in case Clarkson's reading - maybe he's here for the video vault to relive his favourite moments :lol:
Alfa - SZ
BMW - E30 M3, E34 M5, M1
Bugatti - EB110
Cizeta Moroder
Dodge - Viper (mk1)
Jaguar - XJ220
Ferrari - 288GTO, F40, F50, F355
Lamborghini - Diablo, Countach
Lancia - Integrale Evo II
McLaren F1
Mercedes - CLK GTR
Porsche - original 911 RS, 959, 993 GT2, GT1, 993


That would be un-fucking-believable. So how about it, JC? That would be a DVD i would definitely buy 8)

bmagni 10-24-2004 09:02 PM

DAAAAMN GINA !!!!!!
best season so far... this is gonna be just great....
cant wait one more week !!!!!

chipanggo 10-24-2004 10:06 PM

been waiting to see the enzo on TG for the looongest time. hope i can get access soon.

vexor 10-24-2004 10:22 PM

^^^ you and me both

Mers 10-24-2004 11:05 PM

They don't have top gear in Brazil.... when they do, it's cut down to 30 min, so FUCK!

For the first time I REALLY wish I had acces...you lucky people

HeilSvenska 10-24-2004 11:15 PM

now this would definitely be the ultimate top gear dvd. however, i seriously doubt that this would ever happen. well there's nothing wrong with dreaming.

noliebro 10-25-2004 12:32 AM

I am about to crap myself. I have contributed a lot to this site in the past three months or so of my life and now when i need access to the vids, I don't have it. Looking for some sympathy please. Will die if not fed video. :( :(

vexor 10-25-2004 03:19 AM

holy shit, I just saw the trailer for the first episode and it is amazing .... does anyone know the background music that they play, it is a cool tune.

aks 10-25-2004 04:43 AM

oh man, Australia only shows the half-hour episodes!!

they better not cut out the Enzo!!!!! :twisted:

looks like first episode will be shown next week so hopefully i will be able to find the Enzo clip on the net before then :D

dingo 10-25-2004 05:06 AM

^ the Enzo isn't on till next week, this week was the 997. :wink:
Where do they show Top Gear in Oz, I only know about 5th Gear on Foxtel. :?

they show the half hour eps of Top Gear on BBC on Foxtel, pretty much only car reviews without stars in reasonably priced cars or news, but it's better than nothing!

DUNKiNUTS 10-25-2004 10:05 AM

I think that it the most post in less then a day. Wow i can't want to see that new season.

is64fun 10-27-2004 07:39 AM

mindgam3 10-30-2004 01:52 PM

"I have just returned from watching the filming of Top Gear. Both the Enzo and F40 in the studio as well as on the track. The stig does a timed lap in the Enzo...........any guesses how quick? You will be pleased to know there wasn't any ice cream van stunts this time. This episode also feature the F1 Maclaren, Carrera GT, Zonda and XJ 220. Worth watching on Sunday at 8pm. You might even see me and the missus in the audience."

NICE! ;)

http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36625

and From Radio Times:

"Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May present the motoring series. Featuring a review of the new Ford Focus; the Ferrari Enzo makes a rare appearance at the track; and today's supercars go head to head with the best from the 80s. Also, which is faster in a race - a kid on a skateboard or a turbocharged rally car? Geri Halliwell is this week's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. "

TT 10-30-2004 02:02 PM

It will be an AMAZING episode, kinda like a short JC's DVD ;) .. but maybe they should have kept a couple of cars for the next ones :D

1zippo1 10-30-2004 02:17 PM

I've been absent for too long but certainly can't miss out on the new Top Gear season.

About the new Top Gear Trailer: well like the daddy says, this promises to be the best Top Gear season yet. Missed it on tv last week :oops: but now my vcr is allready programmed for tomorrow. They said the Enzo is coming so I hope it will be the CGT-Enzo-Zonda comparison we've all been waiting for. Best of all, I don't think anyone has reviewed those 3 together before. IMO these are the current ultimate supercars available. Maybe they could also have added the Koenigsegg, but I don't think that's as good as these 3. All 3 have a bit atmospheric engine, mid-engine layout and a very good reputation. This should be the ultimate car test EVER!!!

The only thing I would change is make it a comparison done by JC, Tiff and Vicki. The hamster is quite good to but can't match Tiff's driving or Vicki's sexyness. And James well he doesn't seem to be able to drive :roll: He allways loses in a drag race with a huge amount, no matter what car he's in.

Conclusion: can't wait till tomorrow night!! I absofuckinglutely have to see it.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Holy fuck, I've got the gitters (or how do you call that feeling when the hairs on your arms stand up) they're going to compare the Enzo-CGT-Zonda and then compare them to 3 supercars from the past :shock: :shock: :shock:

You've got to be fucking kidding me ... shit dude, how the fuck do you expect me to sleep tonight now... If anybody comes near the remote control when Top Gear is on they're going to be sorry :twisted:

This is better then watching a porn movie featuring my hottest teacher (this year there's a really nice one :P ).

Got to remember to breath while watching tomorrow or this might just kill me :D

Seriously, all the fanatichism apart, this is going to be great 8)

So the F40, XJ220 and the Mac F1. I would have replaced the XJ220 by the EB110 S (the hardcore version), but apart from that: pure car pornografy.

EDIT: the spamming is just because I've discovered that the 3 supercars from the past are also featured. Hope you don't mind, got a little overexcited 8)

TT 10-30-2004 03:20 PM

You are not the only one Phil! Tomorrow I am sure there will be lot of activity in the TG section!

bmwmpower 10-30-2004 04:37 PM

I think - Martin Brundle had these together ,
great comparation test- i think F1 can be very very good

Nope, he got close thought. He had the Enzo, the Zonda and the Koenigsegg on his DVD, but he didn't have a CGT. The CGT was released a bit later then the Enzo so I suppose that was the reason.

bmwmpower 10-30-2004 04:49 PM

I read his comparation Enzo-C GT-SLR

1.Enzo
2.c gt - good, bad not that fast like enzo
3.SLR not supersport, only GT

AlienDB7 10-30-2004 04:52 PM

Enzo, F1 Maclaren, Carrera GT, Zonda and XJ 220, what more can you ask for? Who needs to go out for halloween anyway, you get all the [eye] candy here at JW already!

Guess it's time to get TV out set up ready for the big halloween special ;)

jon_s 10-30-2004 06:16 PM

I simply can't wait! Roll on tomorrow!

Totally agree with you. Feel kinda sad that race car drivers like Tiff, Vicki and Jason Plato have to test boring or economy cars in 5th Gear. Look at Jason Plato, first 3 eps of this series,, he got to test the 1 series, ford focus and a diesel citreon c2 :x

Come on kazaa..... come on kazaa.... :(

crayzayjay 10-31-2004 08:02 AM

The hours went back this morning..... Not fair, means one more hour to wait for TG :lol:

bmwmpower 10-31-2004 08:28 AM

Jason Plato?

i know name, but i dont now how he looks,
i know him from Toca

crayzayjay 10-31-2004 08:43 AM

Jason Plato = BTCC champion in 2001. Bit of a "schumi" streak in him, i.e. not averse to taking people out to win a race :twisted:

What about the Porsche 959? It was better than the F40

That is quite a claim!!!

Don't get me wrong, I agree, that the 959 was a good car.....but can you further explain why it is better than the F40? :!:

HoboPie 10-31-2004 11:26 AM

It was more comfortable, but even the sportiest version only got to 60mph quicker than the F40. In every other performance cateogry the F40 ate it alive.(well except traction I suppose)

jon_s 10-31-2004 11:28 AM

It would be an interesting watch to see them go head to head. But I think the F40 has more mystique about it.
