Default Top Gear - S13 EP1 - 21st June, 2009 - Discussion

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May compete in an epic London-to-Edinburgh race, setting out to discover what Top Gear might have been like 60 years ago. James grabs himself a gorgeous old Jaguar XK120 sports car, while Richard chooses to torture himself on the Vincent Black Shadow motorbike, and Jeremy takes the Tornado, a new steam train built to the blueprints used to create some of Britain's finest locomotives in the heyday of the railways.
They're back

whoa this was an amazing episode. I have never seen anything go around the track so fast as the FXX, I knew it was going to be the fastest on the board just by looking at it.

also the crowd went insane when the Stig revealed himself lol

That was a brilliant episode. One of the best, I think. That easily goes on as one of my top 3 races they've done. I already like it more than any other races they've done outside Europe.

And it'll come off the board first thing next week because it's not road legal.

Wasn't that Michael Schumacher's own FXX?

wow!

p.s.

Notice how Jeremy uses three different handsets every time his on the phone; white iPhone, Nokia N-series, and something else. Strange.

Yup that's his FXX. Ferrari wouldn't let anyone else drive the FXX except for Schumacher
