@HandyHank wants a Bugatti Royale w/Cheese: I think they're using leftover Quattroporte grilles that are just layin' around.

@RacinG73: That was crazy... on the BBC's coverage of one of the first races they had Martin Brundle go in there with him. Very weird.
It's as awesome as it is long. Speedycop, I hope we can get some video footage once she's moving! It will be a sight to behold, I'm sure.
I am a huge Hamilton fan but I was still looking forward to seeing Schumacher making his way through the field this past season. It seemed like he never got comfortable with the setup of his car, but I have to imagine that he also underestimated how quick all these young guys are. The fact that he couldn't keep up…
Having seen every Top Gear UK episode at least twice, I know that even those boys took a while to have an established rapport with one another. (Go back and check out season one with the pig man giving out advice on frugal car purchases, and no James May!)
I've never seen one in person but the Ferrari F40 makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It's just stripped-down, mean ass raw power, and I still think it's the best looking Ferrari. (250 GT California a close 2nd.)
My dad has had a handful of Dodge Caravans, but way back when we had a totally sweet Chevy Caprice Classic wagon. It fit 5 of us in the back, even when we put the seats down flat and all went to sleep. Also, the rear facing seat was just plain awesome (except for one of my stepbrothers, who would puke if he sat there).
@Kajigger Me Timbers: LOL... at first I thought "DAMN that thing is really cruising!" only to realize it was being towed.
@Isetta: I dunno, that's pretty badass. I wonder if his skills translate to full-size vehicles, though.
@Isetta: That is just beautiful.
@LoganSix: Keep in mind that would've been James, who is well beyond directionally-challenged. You can almost count on him going the absolute wrong way.
Are you tired of being able to see other vehicles way too easily?
@Baby Beater Benz: Perhaps a 'badonkadonk removal recall'.
@LuckyChuck: I don't care what anyone says... I'm totally buying the nurburgring apron and oven mitt set. That's awesome.
I'd venture to say that, if the cars being compared are even close to one another on paper, then the real difference will be the track conditions and the test driver.
@CABEZAGRANDE: Seriously! How many 458s are left?! Ferrari—make sure you save at least ONE so we can remember what it looked like.
@cmdrfire: I was thinking the same thing as X-cchannel-M, but that's good to hear. Obviously they can afford the ticket, but could the meter maid afford the repairs? Definitely not! Glad they're careful.
@ppiddy: Oh, I give him tremendous credit—I doubt I'd make it through a couple of turns before destroying the car somehow. I was just saying there were a few spots where he probably could've reclaimed a second or two, if he had to!
@rocketrodeo: Yeah, I too saw a couple of areas where he lost some time, but it was still a blisteringly-fast lap.
It's the oval tracks that keep me from watching.
