Default Top Gear - season 7 - ep 4 - 4 Dec

On this week's Top Gear can you buy a decent mid engined Italian supercar for under ten grand? What is faster in a race through the streets of Lisbon - a mountain bike or a car? A British sports car - the Marcos TSO-GT takes to the track and record breaking yachtswoman Ellen MacArthur is this week's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
A feature in Lisbon :shock: What a surprise!!!!

I bet the bike will be faster!!

Have to say well done to top gear for the richard burns tribute, think we should start upping a few vids in his honour. Otherwise the episode has been very good thusfa

It was a nice touch, instead of the usual rambling about the news. In the press over here, rallying isn't that big, and with the death of George Best in the same week, Burns' life hasn't been celebrated enough IMO :bah:

A good episode... the £10k supercars was a funny feature again, with a very suprising winner. A questionable way to spend £30k of TV licence payers money, but i think it was worth it

Ellen MacArthur suprised me. She is simply such a strong character, and a determined person, that her lap time was well deserved

The Zonda F feature was a little short for my liking, especially with such a fast laptime. It was to be expected really though

The Clio Vs. Bike feature was fun, again. The biker was crazy, and May drove pretty horrendously again The driving was a bit reckless IMO... not a very good example, but i'm sure it was all 100% safe

A great episode. Less of the surreal supercars, and just more entertainment. The big one's next week 8)

Jabba will do it how he wants to i think... features first, then the full show later

@Yann.... Hammond drove the Zonda F around the airfield, then the Stig lapped it. It is an awesome car 8)

Well yeh you can bet the people were cleared out and that certain shots were edited in later just like the big races, still made for another unexpectedely entertaining feature IMO, I'd rather not think of the practicalities! Still actually a few more normal cars would be nice occasionally, not much has come out though recently I suppose :bah:
