Was that a Catalina 22?

while we're at cool video's take a look at this :

And take a look at the mans face when he puts down the gas paddle.

remember there is only a Honda Civic engine in there and it costs only 20.000 pounds.

I hate the way it looks but I'm loving the engineering concept behind it.

When you guys get it together to send me a new Blade, send me one of those Atoms to tow it with! Hey it's just a little different from my British Civic Si <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

The Ariel Atom is old news for those of us who are into cars. I see your Atom and raise you to this one.

I wonder if they really thought about their material selection?

That dude's a pompous butt.

"this thing is 600 lbs, which is equivalent to a whole American sitting on the back"

Wow, did you have a comedian write that one for you?

MauganN20,
I'm sorry,
I did not mean to offend anyone with my post,
I didn't notice this sentence until you mentioned it,
The administrator can delete my post

Main frame out of aluminium tubing and the fenders out of carbon.

Yeah I guess they really did think about the material usage ! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

If that upsets you then you really don't want to see the top gear test report on the new Dodge Viper ehhh sqr-10.

They talk a little about the difference between American and European engineers. That kind of thing.

So what did they say? I can take it! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Awww, c'mon - it was in good jest. If you ever watch Top Gear, you'll realize that he's just as satirical about the English as well. Besides, they're not exactly known for being skinny people either. This is really a great show that I wish would get syndicated (NOT a knock-off) in the US. I watch occasionally by downloading an episode.

I'm not offended. Its just poor sport to prod fun at people who your show isn't broadcast to. Thats all.

And yes, I have seen plenty of these shows (not the viper one, but having driven a viper before, I'd give it two thumbs down).

Well, it pays better than poking fun at people who your show is broadcast to <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think the whole of Luton is still boycotting the show after Clarkson reviewed the Luton-built Vauxhall Vectra with a minute's silence because he "couldn't think of anything to say about it".

Top Gear is classic...dry British humor kills me!

You should hear what he said about the Chrysler crossfire! LMAO!

I beleive it was something like this
"The looks of the car reminds me of a dog, trying to take a dump" ahhahahhah

Sorry but I agree with him, crossfires are gay looking cars and so far almost every guy I have seen driving one, seriously thinks this car is the $h1t which it is not. LOL

We all know that Robi is teh shiz...

Okay here it is :

To support one of Jeremy's points, Mercedes has a luxury car that pumps 500 hp out of a 5 liter engine. And that thing looks like Kofi Annan would drive to work.

"This is an open vehicle, drive carefully....NO!"
