Oh I love Top Gear. I like how they do stuff like that. One example is how they dropped a building on a Toyota truck, then started it and drove away.

Great Find... I agree with Scott. I'll take 1000 man hours of free Lotus man power every day of the week.

Since I sold all my Lancia's, I could nic my Dad's Scorpion if they want a go at it... (I'm not sure I spelled "nic" right. MikeK? Or is that not an Aussie term as well as UK term?)

According to my DVR of goodness, it is coming back on in a week or two. I am not sure if they are new shows or repeats though.

It looks like a marathon on Feb. 9th and 10th. 4 or so episodes a day. DVRs of goodness rule.
