They actually started with a Corvette racing a wall of fire (in that it was trying stay ahead of the flames from a line of petrol, which was set alight as the car set off. That is... erm, just watch it). Personally preffered the Ferrari. Why? Well, it's a Ferrari. You can actually say "Hi, I've got a Ferrari" to people. TEH W00TAEG, as the kids are prone to say.
The Tank-cum-Limo is utterly awesome. I neeeeeeeed it. (But really, I do.)
Gordon Ramsey, A bit of a cunt: Confirmed.
I'm going to have to search for a stream of that Top Gear radio show. T'was a tad crazy.
They really did seem to make a pig's ear of that radio show. What was funnier was the priceless shots of the show's regular producer looking shocked, horrified and near the end, genuinely ill. I think they were hoping that Hammond could carry the show, what with his local radio background, but it appears they were mistaken

Some of it was broken up with long pauses. I'm guessing that was faked or at least pre-recorded (they seemed to pre record some of it). The stuff that flowed quicker sounded more like a real broadcats. That's kinda why I want to hear the show.

Noticed a few people requesting this. This is the last 17 minutes of the Drive Time Southern Counties Radio show presented by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, featured on the last episode of top gear. The music and news have been edited out. The torrent also includes a Local TV News Report and radio news report about the chaotic show.
Can't believe Prodrive aren't going to build the P2! That's just a crime!

That car is how the Subaru Imprezza should look. I hate the Imprezza for a multitude of reasons, but the P2, although still visibly based on the same vehicle, I utterly seminal. Wicked car. It's a pity they're not even doing a short run. I will cry now.

Agree. That car would sell a million.
/me grumbles about Top Gear being cancelled during the World Cup finals.
That car football game was more interesting than most regular football matches.
I wonder if Doctor Who is going to suffer under Football mania.
Boy: "Have you met monsters before?" The Doctor: "Yes."
Boy: "Are you scared of them?" The Doctor: "No, they are scared of me!"

Oh, I was more impressed with the instant turbo spinup and the computer-controlled diffs. Only vaguely noticed what it looked like.
"I am a very considerate person. If I want to go out all night on my miniature golf course and shoot lizards, well, no reason to keep the neighbours awake..."
Well, the intelligent diff stuff is very much like what was in the Skyline, from the sounds of it (active yaw control etc.)
I presume the lagless turbo is either electrically or supercharger-style driven at low RPM. Or maybe it's just flooding the exhaust with raw fuel and burning it in the turbo inlet manifold, which might be the case the way the flames kept bursting out the back . No way that thing had a cat on it!
The turbo spinner-up-er just squirts fuel into the hot exhaust manifold upstream of the turbo. Whumph! -> spinning turbo.
There are two diffs. One splits the power front/rear, the other splits it nearside/offside at the back. Yaw and steering wheel position sensors allow the controller to work out what's going on and adjust the power balance accordingly.
