Who cares if they did some clever editing to make the segment more exciting - Hammond's already put himself in a coma once from an exploding car, let him take it easy once in a while.

Fejsze posted:I didn't like it. I think mainly because of the squared wheel wells. I think the stock 8c looks way better. The rear well is a little weird, but I really like the way the body line cuts off the top of the front well. It's a cool look that I haven't seen before. Gorgeous car, I think. The best part of SIARPC is it's always precisely 11 minutes long.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz uses cameo-inator to combine two excellent television showsquote:Clarkson, Hammond and May will be appearing as Grand Prix announcers who go by the dashing names of Adrian, Ian and Nigel, as shown in the equally dashing picture above.

You don't (well, you shouldn't) sit through every film, ever, thinking about how fake every last effect or bit of makeup is. It was a fun show. Talking about fun shows, like Breaking Bad? Don't normally like SIARPC? You're in luck! Aaron Paul is the guest on the next SIARPC! (At least that's what was just said on BBC Radio 2).

I am pretty excited for the 918 on Sunday, even if it won't beat the P1. I love that manufacturers are cramming all sorts of new technology into road cars.

Clarkson hydroplaning in the BMW was pretty drat great. The look on his face through the whole thing was perfect. Pretty good episode. That 918 footage was breathtaking and I certainly can't wait for the episode with both of them. FogHelmut posted:Take the third Reich. What a setup that was. Only May could deliver such a line. edit AvesPKS posted:This confuses me because if they can use Daft Punk, well...why would they use anything other than Daft Punk? A good point.

I thought the 918 segment was a bit weaker than the P1 segment, but drat if that isnt a sexy car. It will be interesting to see the next generation of hybrid technology getting used in supercars and where it goes from there.

Loved that episode. Did anyone else find it interesting that they drove the Porsche at Yas Marina, which is where other reviewers (Chris Harris and Evo) have driven the P1, but they drove the P1 at Spa? Having both cars on the same track (albeit separately and with different drivers) would have been quite good.

While the first info films just were dumb, this made up for it all. And I was quite surprised at the verdict that cycling isn't that bad except for the buses, I expected something much more negative.
