one word BITCHEN !!!!

 

That was bad ass.Some one needs to put that drive line in a vintage Bugatti.

 

Yeah, That's tough.
When the guy said the car was 1,000,000 pounds,,,
well it took me a second.

 

"So I'm fighting for the Germans in a battle against the R.A.F!!!"

Classic line and a bad ass video.

 

THAT was IMPRESSIVE!
The plane is nothing short of amazing....but i gotta say i was pretty damn impressed with the Bugatti....196mph....that's one fast sumbitch!

 

Richard 'hamster 'Hammond...more famous for wiping out a rocket car and nearly losing his life...should have been at bonne or lake Gairdner!

"I suspect I may get some abuse for this . . . . ."

That was a classic line.

I dunno, loosing a drag race with a supersonic fighter plane ain't nothing to be ashamed of, especially when you managed to finish in the same time zone.

Every time I see a clip of their show, I love Top Gear more and more. Them Brits ain't all bad I suppose.

EDIT:

Well, in the skinny little guy's defense, things went all pear shaped 'cause a tire came apart. It's not like he freaked out and it got away from him, the thing just decided to spontaneously become a three wheeler without asking permission. He took it like a man though.

Did the crash damage him very badly? They don't talk about him getting hurt, but to take a tumble like that at nearly 300 mph, you'd think he'd have come out of it with more than just soiled underoos.

 

HOLY CRAP! Can you amagine how much G-force was on that pilot on the vertical down-flight?I've been in fast planes before, and you wanna puke!

 

Wow, very cool.

 

Haulin' ass!

 

Tony,

That car will actually do over 250mph! There was a video going around the web a few months back where a English fellow was putting it through it's paces. As he was doing his run he was listing off all sorts of facts and technical data about the car - very impressive! The car has more than 1000hp and at full speed will burn through a set of tires in 15 minutes. But that's okay because it will run out of gas after 13 minutes.

I suspect the video could be found on YouTube. Search under Bugatti Veyron.

Thor

 

Casey woulda beat that jet!

 

Yeah, right.
1000 HP would twist those frame rails into a pretzel.

 

if any of you get BBC America......WATCH

 

I have to agree !!! Cool video .

 

Sorry, WATCH TOP GEAR!!! It is a GREAT car show. Never ceases to amaze me with the access they have to all things automotive and cool, and they always make me laugh. The show is like jackass with cars....

 

Thats what i call...getting Yanked

 

The rabbit running across the runway at the beginning MADE that video.

Cool.

Sam.

 

AWESOME video! I may have to start watching BBC. My old laddy watches it but mostly for the kitchen nightmares...

 

Probably so, but everyone knows that Casey cheats!

 

We're going to have to shove a Veyron engine inside a '32. It'll be bloody amazing for the half a second it holds up. I can pitch in 5 bucks for the car, anyone else got around the 1.6 million?

 

damn that was pretty cool!

 

definite thumbs up . used to watch it i think it might have been on speed . cant find it now . the other vid is on you tube and it's just freakin awesome . if you dig speed you will love that one !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ahhh... TopGear at it's best...

 

You can also download all the entire series off their web site.

 

Thanks for the vid Groucho! That was awesome! The plane took a shortcut though, it didn't actually come back down a full mile, shoulda had him fly under a wire

 

My 4 year old said wow, That was super kick ass Dad. I guess he spends a lot of time with me Thanks for the video.

 

That would have to be such a rush,to drive that car,and race a jet!!!

 

I dig the TOP GEAR show. Once you get use to the fact that they despise anything american it is very funny.
