I love Top Gear my absolute dream car is the CCXR and I was 'introduced' through Top Gear (it's the one The Stig crashed into a tyre wall but an ethanol model ;))
Just wait for 'African Stig' it is hilarious! Better than American Stig any day

OMG! CaRloVeSWap!

I adore the new 911 and I'm pretty partial to the '05 TVR Sagaris (the only TVR you can drive without a death wish). So, it looks like someone's taken to it with an axe and it smells like a canoe factory (thanks Hamster) ... how much fun does it look??

On a more realistic note, I'm pretty partial to the Fiat Panda. Pity we don't get that model in Oz - only the 500 (too small) or the Punto (too lame).

African Stig? Tee hee ...

Oooh another show we have in common. My hubby and I have recently started getting into this show quite a bit after his Dad introduced us. Loved the last few weeks, they've been really fun.

You should definitely tune into the reruns then ... Sooo much great history to catch up on. I've managed to fill in my TG gaps thanks to bekki_n who kindly gave me ... well, pretty much everything!

Oh, and buy Richard's book in either paper or audio format - what a read!
