    One thing TG hasn't dialed it in yet at is the actual road review segment. The cinematography was gorgeous as always (and a bit trippy too) and I was actually surprised when the ZR1 reared its head. I also knew instantly that Clarkson would backtrack on his California love confession, but as The Stig's times proved, in the right hands it was amazing on a track.

    Everything else in the episode I could basically take or leave. Lots of bad acting in the project film, and for some reason Michael Sheen came off as almost as big a dick as Dick King Jay Kay.

    One less TVR Chimera on the road that isn't mine can only be a good thing...

    And Geoff. Makes me wonder why Geo didn't launch an FF.

    @Rust-MyEnemy: You're not getting rich that way.
    I knew a guy who obsessively bought Triumph Dolomite Sprints so that the two mint condition cars he had would be worth more.
    He's still not a millionaire, still buying Dolly Sprints, still not getting it.

    Anyone know what the Stig was fiddling with on the BMW during the hot lap? Something on the center console, I know it can't be the shifter because both are automatics. #topgear

    @not_a_virus.exe.vbs: The 7 series has semi-auto options so it probably is the 'shifter'. May does the same in the earlier video too. #topgear

    @daemonoid: Didn't know those semi autos were so effective. I always thought the dual clutch was the best, didn't know semi-suto slushboxes were effective at apeed. #topgear

    @A strolling player: SLUSH SLUSH SLUSH. Well at least till I drive it I will call it a slushbox. I REALLY like the dual clutch in the new M3, really smooth takeoff, no chunking like a regular automatic. #topgear

    Shhhhhh. You're not supposed to admit the existence of Top Gear on torrent. It's like admitting you can get free porn online.

    It so happens that they both result in the same thing. #topgear

    You watch the last 5 minutes of this episode and tell me that it was uninteresting, I'd break your nose for lying. #topgear
