Top Gear - Bugatti Veyron...

Yes but I don't remember a V8.

Hmm, is this clock from Ferarri 360 or phase 1 Punto?

The reality is, a few hundred quid'll get you a 1.0 Fiat "Ferarri parts bin special". Which part of a Punto or a Ferarri is anything like a 5 series?

Get a grip dude,

Hmm bad form etc, can't remember what I was going to rant about here. Humblest apologies.

Why worrying?

Not all drivers (or sportsmen in general) can be natural performers like The Stig.

Indeed. The main job of a driver is driving, driving faster as the competition.

Saw an interview a few years ago: Raikkonen and Coulthard. Coulthard expleaning how image was important, communication with the press, etc. Raikkonen seemed sulking all the time.

Asks the reporter what Raikonen thought of it: "I don't know, I just like to drive fast and beat everybody."

Coulthad went on to claim that he would go for the F1-title and Raikkonen went back in sulking mode. Coulthard didn't even understand the implications of what Raikkonen said.

I like Raikkonone more that DC :-)

Tom De Moor

To be fair he did cut almost every corner.

missed this where did he end up on the chart ?

Top of the F1 drivers chart, 2 seconds or so faster than D Hill IIRC.

At the top of the F1 drivers chart. Only 2 other people on it, as yet..

It's repeated tonight, I think. Something like 7pm on BBC2, normally.

Didn't Webber do it on a soaking wet track? And stay on the track the whole time.

No it's not repeated till next week as there are more men playing with there balls that take priority.

Yea - I reckon if they got Webber back he could beat it in the dry.

Would be fun to get them both back and give them both a car (or both £1000 to buy a car like the presenter challenges) and let them race.

Nobody said he couldn't.

Been on hols. Forgot to set Vid. Already torrented. Middle of converting to MPG so I can watch on DVD player on big telly.

Did you enjoy it? Hope so!

Bell end.

Good good.

It's ok, It wasn't as good as I hoped it would be though. Shame they didn't throw it around the track.

Amazing piece of metal though.

Lol - PC is plugged into DVI port on telly... saves a lot of DVD burning.

I just built a pc for the telly. Makes watching vids so much easier.

Mine's just gone a bit odd - overheating, been fine for two years - I think the heatsink is either dusted up or the thermal compound has gone off. Need to find time to strip it down, in the mean time it's running all fans at max and sounding like a vacuum cleaner.
