The dvd aint bad tbh.
I did notice the Mondeo bit too, and I bet Martin's would do well around a track against the super cars too.

I think he's talking about the kind of guys that get their diesels chipped and think, yeah, I've got 400 lb/ft and can beat anything. Bet he gets everyone coming up to him saying this that and the other. More bullshit than on here DVD is poor IMO, just top gear outtakes to me.

Owners of chipped Turbo Diesel, Rover V8, and Ford V6 powered cars think they have the fastest cars in the world

"Oooh, by the time the Cosworth has got over its turbo lag im already miles down the road" etc etc etc.

Bollocks, your cars not fast, you just think it is

The dvd is top. Goto the extras section and then "more car less music" for the entire dvd without the music over the car noise

Also the "scratch" on the Porche Not the first time Clarkson has binned a car on one of his DVD's - remember the RS200

My dad thought his rover V8 powered xr4i was fast, until he went in my stage one cos, his is a tuned 4 litre cross bolt but no comparison to cossie.
Mind you I wouldn't mind the low speed torque of the rover lump!!

Martin should write in and say " I am the mondeo owner you are talking about - care to race? " and see what happens

Agree there, but even more so I'd just say everyone who drives a turbo diesel these days seems to think they've got a fast car

I'm sick to death of the stinking clouds of soot chugging out of even the most modern alleged advanced german technology covering my car and filling my vents

Didn't think the dvd was great TBH. Seen most of the stuff in TG already. (except for Sabine seemed to be "loose" driving the R8) Was at the mondeo comment though!!

Alex Roy was only pissed because his M5 was proved to be a snail compared to a lowly Escort

Btw If you ever get to meet him ask him how the Fuck he managed to win the ultimate playboy competition Or did Jodie help him out ?

Dead right lad!! He spoke highly of the car alright. He thinks he's a snob now i'd say, Prob has an E60 now. Would you do the Gumball again? Don't think i'll ever be rubbing shoulders with him but if i do i'll ask him. Prob won it by lickin Max's ass. I'd say he's good at that.
