Was very interesting!

So cool to see the Veyron at full speed, especially since it was driven by Captain Slow!

I enjoyed the news very much!

The test was ok, but it went a bit on.. Anyway I wouldn't buy either of them and go for the Alfa GT

Nice show, think the previous one was better. The Veyron was just awesome again, but the triple test was a bit boring, though the golfing part was kinda funny And nice seeing Hugh Grant trying once more!

The lap times surprised me. The new TT has improved its handling a lot.

407.9kmh - Capt. Slow didnt even wet himself, so the Veyron must have been stable at that speed.

I agree though, the rest of the show was pretty pants - i have sene on various form sites that owners of Veyrons in the UK could give their car to TG for the Stig lap, but their insurers wouldnt pay out if Stig did a Koenigsegg - i

If they can afford the car.......... they can afford the repair bill

I didnt like that they were plugging the "Star in a reasonably priced car"'s movie. I really hope thats not what the thing becomes, is a place to advertise or plug new movies
