looking for a top gear show...

[Ctuchik]

that have a ~500 hp car that understear something insane. i've googled for it for ages but i cant find it :/

i know its one of the brands clarksson hates but thats it :/

 

[Trem]

Was it that Vauxhall thats made in Australia?

Not 500bhp though.

 

[Kryten]

That really is a rather good article

That really is a rather good article

He is such a good writer, I know he isn't to everyones taste but he is to mine.

 

[phazey]

I do like his writing. I remember watching the original Monaro review, and one quote of his that's kept in my mind was..

"It's as though the aussie designer had a picture of me on his desk and one day he said "I know, i'll build that bloke a car!""

 

[DaGaffer]

Not really a lot to go on, he hates lots of cars, even high powered ones. I did think TVR Sagaris tested by Jeremy Clarkson Video by Sean Archer - MySpace Video@@AMEPARAM@@http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/embed.aspx/m=3573240@@AMEPARAM@@mediaservices@@AMEPARAM@@myspace@@AMEPARAM@@services/media/embed@@AMEPARAM@@aspx/m@@AMEPARAM@@3573240 though.

 

[Ctuchik]

all i know is that it was a blue car, not all that expensive (compared to what it was supposed to fight against) had shedloads of HP and 0 frontwheel grips in the corners. i thought it was a vauhxall to but i cant seem to find a clip where that happens with one :/

but he litterarly turned the wheels max and the car went straight forward.


/edit: OI WTF! wheres my "My Little Pwny" title!!!!!

/edit 2: cant find all the shows here either and cant check the uk only ones :/

Blue and cheap makes me think the Noble Msomething.. M12 maybe? That said, the Noble is RWD and it sounds like you're thinking of a FWD car.

 

[DaGaffer]

From that description it sounds like the old Focus RS. He made a big thing about the torque-steer on that one.

 

[Ctuchik]

no it was RWD. and i'm still fairly certain that it was a Vauxhall of some sort.

 

[nath]

Vauxhall Astra?



edit: oh no, I guess that's FWD too. VX220 is RWD but I find it hard to believe that under-steers.

 

[Tom]

You're probably thinking of the Vectra VXR, which was a pile of shit.

And who the hell said that a Noble didn't handle? SHAME ON THEE!

 

[nath]

I never said that, I just thought Ctuchik might be confused .

 

[Trem]

I am right by the way, the first one TG had on of the car I said was blue.

I am so right it makes me hurt in my piles.

I reckon that's it, as I read the thread I knew it would be a VXR something. The astra is just as bad, but I think the review of that one had a red car.

 

[Trem]

I am so right god damn it!!!

ah yes, the vectra is the one

 

[nath]

I am so right god damn it!!!

The Monaro wouldn't understeer to the degree that Ctuchik mentioned . Wrrrrrrrrrong.

 

[DaGaffer]

ah yes, the vectra is the one

Which is front wheel drive, and definitely doesn't have 500bhp. Curse your shoddy memory!

 

[Trem]

You are not allowed to talk about cars you bloody beard comber You are only allowed to talk about horse drawn carts and cheese.

I was so right

Exactly, hence if I am wrong it isn't my fault. It is either Naths fault or Ctuchik but absolutely not my fault.

I bet Ctuchik touches herbs for +1 as well.....bastards

Oh god save me!!

I have a blue vein in my todger but that doesn't understeer

 

[Ch3tan]

I think understeer is the last thing you need to worry about when it comes to your todger trem

 

[Ctuchik]

Oh god save me!!

I have a blue vein in my todger but that doesn't understeer

pfft, you just havent tried hard enough!

 

[Wazzerphuk]

I'm thinking of a car.

It's yellow, fast, old and Italian. It kills. Name it! (Pics or you aren't right, too.)
