I did like how they had a hot woman drive one of the bad azz cars. She drove it so far over the limits the emergency roll bar popped up when she was going around a corner. Now that's a real woman!

BTW, Tif Needle was the guy who set the production car speed record in the McLaren F1 when that car first came out.
Clarkson loved the original 240Z. He's hated everything else since then including the new one. However, he loved the 350z when he took it around the "rally" track.

i dled the show from mininova.org, but I can only hear sound and have no video. Its my first time using the bit torrent format and can't figure out if i did anything wrong. I think its an avi file but i'm not sure the only extension on it vuk rip. Anybody have any ideas? By the way, its like 349 mb large...
I love Tiff's reviews - sure they're more dry than jeremy's but I like them cause of how creditable he is. Jeremy is more fun to listen to cause you never know what he's going to say or do next.
I drove a new Z roadster from a dealer's lot and wasn't that impressed actually. BUT I'm used to my car which is about 330 lbs less, 50-60 more whp, and tilton clutch with 3.9 gears. So of course the Z roadster felt like a dog compared to what I'm used to a 350Z feeling like.

Clarkson isn't that bad of a driver. They have had lots of segments where he races ferrari and other race drivers around their little track. He can usually hang with them. The point is when you want smoeone actually testing the cars for time, you want the best. I think he would be fairly close to the stig, but it wouldn't represent what the absolute best driver could do in the car, like what the stig represents.

You have to understand, he's BRITISH. They put entirely different requirements on cars. What americans like generally nobody else does in the world. A cheap crap interior is reason enough to not like a car for them.

I have access to the new episodes as they come out, usually within the day. If someone has a place to host them, I will upload. I have all the ones from this season and a bunch going back the last few years.
I have the 350z review clip as well.
