Default Tiff Needell + 350Z + Top Gear = Awesome

Yes, we know that Europe may not see the 350z for a while, but would someone at Nissan England/Europe please lend a track model 350Z to Tiff for a few days. I think the video for that would be legendary.

"note: pray each day for Carlos Ghosn to kick the marketing department in the **** and have them send Tiff a car immediately."



For those of you who don't know, Tiff Needell is an ex-F1 driver who now works for Top Gear reviewing automobiles.

There are a few sites out there that have archived his work. You can find many of them using the sharing programs out there, but taner.net has a bunch of them archived. I am thankful that such kind hosts exists to hold such incredible movies.

Download speed may not be great, but you absolutely have to download his 911 Turbo review. Tiff talks with perfect calm while doing smoking donuts in the new turbo 911 around prior generation 911's. (from my memory)

Unfortunately I absolutely can not take credit. Taner.net has been around for a long time hosting these. We can only thank the owner for sharing.

Since were on the subject of videos, does anybody have the motorweek video of the Z available for download? I checked the other post from the search but its not working for me or the site is down. Any alternatives? Thanks in advance.

I have to agree with this, Tiff is the most entertaining car host ever. His WRX/EvoVII clip is so funny...he tries so hard not to laugh. I'd love see a Z in his hands.

Ditto on the Motorweek. My roommate changed the channel and it taped BET instead...same roommate who got the ticket.

Guess he got what he deserved jk

Tiff is *definitely* the man. Like many of you, I've downloaded every last top gear episode I could find. (I've got 25 on my machine right now... and I need more!) My favorites are definitely the McLaren F1, the 911 Turbo, and the Ultima GTR.

The fact that the guy can sit there and push a car around a track or airfield at crazy speeds, sliding sideways and generally being crazy, all the while discussing the car in a normal voice just amazes me. I'd be laughing like a little girl if I got to drive those cars.

Slightly O/T I know, but does any1 know of archives of Jeremy Clarkson articles?

I used to read the Sunday Times bit online but they started charging for it a few months ago and I am not going to pay #30 to read ~40 articles (allowing for his seemingly endless supply of holidays).

Tiff rocks, but have you guys seen the Jeremy Clarkson video where he's a passenger in a Lambo with one of their test drivers driving?

It is so damn funny.

"This thing has good brakes? Yes, this thing does have good br--- . . . JEEESSUUUUUSSSSS!!!!"

I repeated that part like 20 times, I was laughing so hard.
