Who needs 400 BHP (not using that button) to just cruise around.
nobody. i would not mind the m5 having 250 standard and 500 when you press the button...

its probably 400 so that you can outrun the standard 5 series without pressing a button...
 
Not just that but pushing the button to go from 400Bhp - 500Bhp won't be that much of a change in perfomance, it will be an increase but a steady one, going from 250Bhp to 500 at the push of a button could be rather dangerous.

Exigeexel, welcome to the club.

It increases response too so it might be more violent than you think.
 
Just wondering - is Clarkson's back really dislodged and will Sabine Schmitz (sp???) the German Nurburgring driver be doing most of the driving in next series Top Gear?

j o k e

that about sabine...his back is really damaged.
 
Jerremy HAS slipped two disks, but Sabine won't be hosting next series, that was a joke as Vladamir stated.
 
just watched the latest episode...wow that was brilliant. one of the best this season, i had to take some deep breaths after stigs lap in the M5, the guest was hilarious and the roadtest roulette was fantastic.

only jeremy should not have ranted on about the sat-nav for the half test, but instead he should have thrown the 5 round some more corners...
i am sure that the satnav lady would have left him alone if he just didn't enter a route at all. and if you do enter a destination she is supposed to interrupt you, is she not? it would be rather stupid, if she waited for clarkson to stop babbling for a moment and tell him to exit the motorway just after he drove past the exit...
oh, and the volume control button is on the left of the steering wheel, the one on the right is the tuner and while we're at it, pressing the lower part of the tuner brings back the previous station, you do not have to go through the idrive to do that...

anyway, the M5 is truly a superb car. i have seen one on the road already and its incredibly silent and understating when cruising round the neighbourhood, yet unbelievably fast when you push it.

now i am going to watch tiff driving it again. :D
 
I have the last couple of episodes here, but I didn´t have time to watch them yet. Probably on thursday or friday night.

Edit: It was a good show, but I liked the previous one better. And I find the M5 a beautiful car, I´ve seen a couple in my town and they really get your attention.
 
Ok it's just that on Top Gear, they said that Sabine would be appearing more and is cheaper (lol), better looking and faster than Richard Hammond (Hamster).
 
Watched the episode and found it quite good though Clarkson was abit crap with the sat-nav. The M5 was great though.

Chris Evans was quite funny, used to hate him kind of, but actually thought he was really funny this time round.

We just got the episode with the indestructible Toyota truck. Very nice. :lol:
This one :lol:

I took that at the NEC motorshow live 2004. Top show, I got loads of pics.
 
Why AC/DC´s "Highway to Hell" not on that best road song contest? It´s the best one by far!

But since they left it out, my choice would be Queen.

yeah, that thing is absolutely astonishing. I can't help but wonder why clarkson calls all those cars junk heaps, but then they survive all that brutality.
 
He called it junk before the test, after he tried to destroy it and failed he couldn't stop praising it.
 
What a Brilliant episode :D:D:D:D:D:D:D.

Well first the BMW 535d was surprisingly good but it was a dissapointment to see the stig versis JC. It seemed abit lame.

The trip over the lake in the 4x4 was amazing and daring though a slight sink would have been great if they sunk :P

They closed a public road just so James could go 190mph!!?!?!?!?! That was amazing and nice to see James doing abit of speed :lol:

The Mark Webber banter was brilliant and the shirt comeback was brilliant.

But best of all James going round in the offroaders was dunny as hell and with JC and RH faces it was hysterical. Everyone in the room laughed. :lol:
 
Does anybody know where I can find episode summaries for Season 6? So I know what I'm downloading beforehand? (Being in America, the internet is my only source of Top Gear).
 
I missed last nights. :(

I was traveling home from where I went on the weekend.
