Re-post times 2.  This is where Pablo comes in and says the guy was a  squid somebody else points out that too and blah blah.

Fact remains: that is one fast car!  Looks like a blast to drive. 

I wonder about getting it licensed in the States, however.

My bad.. didn't know it was a repost.. as for licensing.. well, it's got indicators, lights, and a tag. Buuuuuut... I'd want one that's left hand drive... plus shipping that thing over here would probably be $$$... saw it on my cigar forum, thought I'd share..

That is from Top Gear, or something.  It is a british car show.  It is awsome! One of the best shows, if you're lucky enough to catch it.

Top of the line race-prepped one will run you about $80k.

It's got a 5 point race harness, who needs an airbag?

also lack of a windscreen might be problematic as far as licensing the thing :dunno_white:

Thanks alot, I've wasted the whole day watching the Top Gear videos on Google Video. I still don't think I'm done...

I now have more justification for buying a
Toyota truck (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2402060372341641699)

i just realized something... tv programming in the UK is awesome, while the US is mostly crap (not that I watch it anyway)

Ummm.. Family Guy, SouthPark, Simpsons, Arrested Development, Desperate Housewives (arguable), West Wing, The Office, The Daily Show, Dancing with SARS (a Chinese version of Dancing with the Stars), CSI, Law and Order, The Sopranos... We have the best television anywhere in the world, hands down.  We just don't have enough decent motorsports coverage.  The only way to change that is to start your own network or sign that Speed petition... I did my part.

Don't forget everything on the Powerblock.
Muscle Cars
Trucks
Car and Driver
Horsepower TV
Xtreme 4 X 4

We used to have Top Dead Center, which was great.

There was a cool show about import tuners that got cancelled.

And don't forget Overhaulin'.  Which is my personal favorite.  And if you happened to skip dinner, Emril Live is a cool show to watch before you go to bed. 

And if you have Speed network, then you can see Barrett Jackson 24/7. 

If you can catch that British show, then you're luck.  And Rides is a pretty cool show. 

The Bachelor is cool.  Project Runway.  Yeah, we some kick ass shows here in the U.S.

ok...csi miami and csi ny is the most dramatized cop show i've ever watched (i've never watched the original csi). especially csi miami, it's all about looking pretty for 60 minutes cause they've already got the crime solves. they know who killed who and exactly how the crime was commited and even why!

on the other hand, law & order rocks.

That truck was cool, as was the car. The truck was cooler, even if they semi-staged things.
