Those mountain ranges are geologically distinct from the Rockies. Either way, pedantry aside (James May would be proud), it will indeed be an awesome episode. Shame we'll have to wait another few weeks for BBC Canada to actually get its thumb out and broadcast it.

Whoops, I grew up in Castlegar, so have been psyched for this episode when I heard they were stuck in Trail, but I haven't been to the area in at least 15 years.

I'd never buy a Porche. I hate everything about them - especially the kind of people who drive them. I'd never buy a Porche... except the 918. That's the one I'd buy over the other two companies that I've actually always wanted a car from. That has to say something.

The only Porsche I'd buy is a RUF BTR.

If I ever have the money I'd totally buy a Porsche over any other super high end sports car. But it'd only be a 911 variant of some kind or a 918.

I would figuratively kill for a Singer or an Icon. Not big on trucks, but Icons are too cool.

Likely Porsche doesn't care because they think they have the best all around car. They've been marketing the car that way since the hybrid super car battle broke out. That being said... I know someone who's driven both a 918 and P1 on track. He said the 918 drives better, feels faster. That being said he wasn't timing himself so he has no proof. I can understand McLaren wanting to use customer cars as it means Ferrari will say no. Ferrari want's it's usual car setup / tuning perks.

So today is Agent Scully and the Velociraptor. I'm pretty stoked to see if that thing is any good.

Holy poo poo, any chance someone can make a .gif of Clarkson launching the Velociraptor off those snowy jumps? I've got a few screencaps but man, it looked way cooler in motion.

Clarkson's rather eloquent description of cougar and cougar is worth a gif or two. edit: looks like we're getting our shoot off. http://www.driving.co.uk/news/world-exclusive-hypercar-holy-trinity-set-for-top-gear-track-battle/ bloops fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Mar 2, 2015 |

They should have had shots of Jeremy and James "reacting" to when Richard threw his knife at his voodoo dolls.

Scully!  she was more of a car fan than I'd expected. Also had no idea about her native accent. The rescue film was loving great

neckbeard posted:Looks like they were on Whitewater Mountain or Mount Brennan between New Denver and Kaslo Then what were they doing in Trail? I definitely remember them tweeting about being in Trail. Between New Denver and Kaslo is one of the most beautiful places on earth, and the air smells fresh instead of terrible, so I hope for their sake they were there instead of Trail. I'll have to ask my friends in New Denver if they know any more details.

They probably drove down to Trail to fly back to Vancouver or wherever else to fly back to the UK.
