Yeah he especially has a thing for mercedes coupes with tons of power and front engines. (personally my favorite layout for a car)

He's owned a SLK55. And he has given great reviews on the show to the SLK AMG, SLK "The Black", and the SLR.

I guess he likes cars that get loose but still feel in control? I remember him reviewing some porsche that he hated because he couldn't keep it on the track.

He doesn't like the front end bounce on the 911 GT2. I don't think I'd like it much either if I drove it as compared to the regular 911 Turbo. It's missing all of the AWD weight in the front keeping the nose down at low speed. The saying goes, "Over steer scares the passengers, under steer scares the driver," and a car that can't keep its front end on the ground is terrifying.

I like mid-engine myself, just feels nicer rotating the car around a center point.

"Jeremy Clarkson, fail."

God, I was hoping one of them would have to ride the Springsteen bike.

The fucking duck bike boat thing was hilarious, and that god damned galleon. Such a great episode.

That's gotta be my favorite one this season. What a beautiful country.

Axire · 12-29-2008, 08:04 PM

Yeah was a great episode, it is a beautiful country, even beat America in a war!

The not-so-vague anti-Amerr-Ka jokes always crack me up on this show. Self-deprecating attitude to take, I know, but Top Gear does jibing humor so well.

I loved it when Clarkson spilled. Who says Karma can't have humor?

That may have been the funniest episode of the show ever. Up there with the cheap Porsche challenge one. Especially when James was telling Richard his helmet wasn't faggy.
