I did, but I also noticed how much of a fuss Steve was making as he tried to hit 250. Maybe he was just distracted by that damn aerial...

And I kind of like HSV's even if I would never consider owning one. But that red leather interior!

Agreed. That had me cringeing. TG UK beat up the cars playing an entertaining game of soccer. TG Oz just crashed them into each other.

I knew this show was doomed in the first 5 minutes of the episode. It's hard for the presenters though, following the footsteps of Clarkson is understandably difficult.

Guran · 10-27-2008, 04:10 AM

Just watched tonight's episode. Steve Pizzati was really raving about the 135i, and it lapped the test track only a second or so slower than the M3. Not bad! But what's this about the 1-series being a "girl's car"???? Never heard that comment before.

Gumball · 10-27-2008, 04:15 AM

Yep, the older guy really annoys me - dunno how a twin turbo can be a girls car - and what was with all the audience voting...

oh well, other than that an excellent review.

professor · 10-27-2008, 04:19 AM

very positive review! was that a space grey 135 in the studio?!

the r8 review was crap though. why must he keep doing doughnuts to show its a super car?! coincidentally, i know someone with an r8 who does doughnuts too, and he has the IQ of a pea!

harpoon · 10-27-2008, 04:32 AM

I just got 4 text messages from mates saying you drive a chicks car

cozza · 10-27-2008, 04:33 AM

Missed it tonight, not that I'm too fussed based on the past few episodes. Might download the torrent if I can find it.

DTNJNQ · 10-27-2008, 04:52 AM

The were just saying that some people think it's a girl's car. I don't think the guys on top gear were agreeing that the 135i is girls car. They were actually saying the think the car looks tough.

qship · 10-27-2008, 04:56 AM

Okay - its' time to own up.

We are actually a bunch of women hiding behind male oriented avatars.

Now where is my Sex and the City DVD.........

Alext · 10-27-2008, 04:57 AM

On the road it does look tough thats for sure. What defines a girls car anyway haha?

Looks like a girls car on the outside but with a set of nuts underneath (meaning the engine not me) LOL

Q doesnt stand for something that rimes with 'ear'?

:biggrin:

MikeVictor · 10-27-2008, 05:23 AM

OMG did they seriously call the 135 a "girls car"?

I didn't watch it tonight but I would have if I'd known the 1'er was getting shown.

Breville · 10-27-2008, 06:01 AM

I thought it was the best episode yet, but the R8 review was total shite. What's the point in reviewing a car without roads? I get doing it on a track/runway for prototype, but not something thats been around months/years.
135 test was very good though and echoed everything I think about the car.

Yep 135 · 10-27-2008, 06:13 AM

I missed the first half. Can I find it on the net somewhere?
Thanks in advance anyone.
Yep.

It's not on youtube yet; I just checked as I was going to send it to my M3 owning mate in the UK.

Yep 135 · 10-27-2008, 06:55 AM

Thanks Duncan, I'll check You tube t/morrow.

takahashi · 10-27-2008, 07:38 AM

I think there is no substance in the reviews, both 135i and the R8. You can say a lot more and be a little sophisticated in the both Steve and Charlie's delivery would be good. They did not get my attention in the middle of my dinner, and what my daughter doing on the table is funnier.

I think the tractor part is very funny. My wife and I laughed at the reaction at the girls at the outdoor cafe when they crushed the front of the SAAB and wrote (draw) a note about it.

: Just they have shown a few angle of the Kluger. They should show it to the world. Only USA, NZ and Oz get the Kluger.
