I think we need to have a Topgear section on this site.. The show is so damn entertaining!!!

Thanks for the link.

I can't decide which is cooler. Top Gear, the M6, or Google Video.

Tell me about it.... I still wish I could find the BMW 535d review that Top Gear did. So awesome.... I feel it would change a lot of Americans ideas on diesels.

It was a good review of the M6 but why won't Jeremy Clarkson leave iDrive alone? It's not as bad as he makes out.. a bit unfair if you ask me.

Especially as he made it look as if you have to spend all that time configuring the M6 every time you start the engine!

He did exactly the same on his M5 review...

Did you know that:
The Ascari company is owned by a fellow Frisian(old province) born(just like me) mr. Klaas Zwart(wchich KZ stands for)

He is assumbably the richest Frisian too

He lives in Spain and the UK.

FWIW

I've been meaning to find the Ascari Race Resort in one of my drives to the south, I wonder if they do any racing courses WITHOUT having an exotic car or purchasing an Ascari?? Need to investigate... Whoops, sorry, way off topic, Robin Hood's fault!!

I personally like that BMWs require a bit of familiarity to be able to know how to work everything. I can understand the complaint that a well designed car should be intuitive, but not everything should be designed "for dummies" either.

"M6 smashes aston martin"

wow.

ramm · 11-20-2005, 03:53 PM

Great show. I wish BBC America would carry it in the US.

Not too big a fan of the M5, as you can see here....

If you watch enough Top Gear, you realize their style of reviews (especially towards BMWs). Jeremy always starts out by ragging on how horrible a certain car is (like the M5), only to do a 180 later on in the review. Helps to keep it entertaining.
If you get a chance, watch the video about the Audi A8 diesel. Very funny/entertaining.
