Video

from Top Gear of Sabine Schmidt taking a van around Nurbirgring REAL fast. Fast as in she passes sport bikes and 911's.

Even shots of her feet in the video to make Abe happy.

Enjoy,
Adam

Just trying to keep the forums from getting cluttered. Think of me as the forum janitor.

The car looks awesome in black. First one I've seen without the two tone paint job.

I like procedures.

The whole beating an F1 car thing was cute, granted it doesn't handle like one, but still....

Merged with TopGear Sticky.

Stig Wannabe · 02-07-2007, 05:54 AM

Nope. It's a two-tone. Just not as obvious.

babak · 02-07-2007, 05:57 AM

Aren't they all two tone? Something about going back to the Bugatties of the old.

Bingo. A silver star for you!

sonza68 · 02-07-2007, 06:44 AM

You can spec each region the same color to get a solid paint job.

For those who want to spec one themselves.

My favorite bit on this weeks episode was how he 'proved' that left lane hoggers are pedophiles. Had me rolling.

sonza68 · 02-07-2007, 07:38 AM

That amused as well as the part where they had to try to justify the artistic significance of the TT, Brera and RX8 to the art experts.

Top Gear on the Science Channel?!?! I was browing threw my guide and I see Top Gear is coming on at 8:00...I didnt know that they played that show! It says its the one with the Exige out doing the Helicopter...cant wait

(Channel 109 for me, Time Warner Cable)

babak · 02-07-2007, 05:14 PM

Old clips 'americanized' for us by shooting 'new' studio clips. It's odd watching them after watching the original UK versions. It looks almost fake. Having said that it's a good intro to TopGear for those who are not DL'ing the episodes on torrent.

The hell? I see what you mean...it seems almost like...bootleged or something lol, got my hopes up

zanardi50 · 02-07-2007, 08:11 PM

AFAIK, the first episode of the "new format" is on for the first time on U.S. airwaves tonight! Lotus Exige is featured (pitted against the Apache Gunship), among other nice cars. Don't worry if you miss it. Re-runs are scheduled for the next few days.

TiVO it, or else.

Enjoy!
