Top Gear : S8 EP3 : 21st May, 2006 - Discussion

Quote:

In this weeks programme Jeremy, James and Richard attempt to answer one of the world's great unanswered questions: is it possible to build a truly amphibious car that works as well on water as it is does on land? They've each come up with their own unique design but will any of them actually work? We drive they're creations to a lake in Staffordshire to find out. Also in the show actor Philip Glenister (Life on Mars) is the star in the reasonably priced car and the Lotus Exige S is power tested by on the track by Jeremy and the Stig.

This can be interesting :P Thanks mate :wink:

Lotus Exige S, cool sounds very intriguing, just hoped this season would have more supercars, still atleast it shall be funny unlike fifth gear who throw any video clips on that are just boring(especially jon bentley).

New info on this week's episode

** SPOILER WARNING **

In the news this week...
If you own a dog that likes sticking its head out of moving vehicles then you'll need to get a pair of Doggles (really), which Richard demonstrates on the Top Gear dog.

The boys say hello to the new Vauxhall Corsa - and goodbye to the Hummer H1. Sob. Meanwhile, Jeremy reveals his mum doesn't like the new Honda Civic and Richard suggests she drives a Noble M15 instead.

Lotus Exige S
In the last series of Top Gear Jeremy managed to avoid missile lock from an Apache helicopter in a Lotus Exige (want to try this yourself?), but now there's a new supercharged Exige S. To see how good this one is they lined up the Stig and, er, a Mustang. Yup, it's the battle of sushi v hamburger when they go head-to-head in a two-lap race around the track.

Amphibious Cars
This week the lads were set a challenge to build their own amphibious car, drive to a reservoir and get across a two mile stretch of water.

Sounds simple enough... except that they all chose ridiculous cars that'll probably never float - James went all nautical and opted to make a triumph herald into a sailing dingy, Jeremy decided on an indestructable Hilux and Richard bought along a camper van to turn into a house boat.

We've seen what happens, but you'll have to wait until Sunday to find out who wins and who ends up with pondweed between their teeth. It's well worth a watch.

Also this week...
The return of the cool wall, which as usual there are yelps of 'cool' and 'rubbish' (and a few words they'll edit out for Sunday). Plus, Philip Glenister (the hard-bitten DCI in BBC One's Life on Mars) as the star in a reasonably priced car.

I........CAN........NOT........WAIT!.........To see this mustang get owned!

Just saw it and it was a dam funny show, however the "celeb' interview was one of the most boring ones EVER
