Oh no, it's Top Gear time again. So that means a reminder thread every Sunday :cry:
No one put up a reminder thread last Wednesday when the news was on, which meant I missed it :sad:

the stig revealed i always thought it was schummacher who betetr to be the stig than the 7 times champ
It was Schumy dressed up for a one-off special, simply because he was driving his own FXX (awesome car) around the track.
There's a few 'Stigs' that are used; the common one being Ben Collins.

i thought it was Ben Collins aswell but after reading on the topgear website the stig is supposed to have been shumy for some time now :confused:

if it was schumi i dont think lewis hamilton would of got near to beating the stigs time in that suzuki
anyway if he was the stig dont you think he would rather be the stig on the german equivalent program

maybe there was also rumor in the past it was damon hill thats what top gear want is to keep people thinking is it schumy or not and if its not who is it

The BBC could not afford the likes of Schumacher to drive for them IMO.

there are orange ones but all carbon fibre
I thought the first episode was top class. Another race up the country but I thought they do a bang up job of keeping it watchable and fun. The train was stunning. The FXX was like an F1 car with a body on it and Schumacher's sense of humour was surprisingly affable. I hope this is the start of things to come. What with Veyron vs Mc F1 action to come, it looks like I might get my wish. :agree:

.....Ferrari Orange :scratch: I think not ...unless it's been :pimp:

Correct, and for the 3rd time of mentioning it now, that was Schumy's FXX.

that ariel atom v8 is insane:)
The Veyron vs The F1 suprised me, I can remember Bugatti saying that the f1 could get up to 100mph as it reached the veyron and in the space of a quater mile the veyron would pass it, now I know Hammond was driving the Veyron but it looked alot closer than Bugatti clamed, could it be, Bugatti were lying:scared:
If the Veyron has a 0-60 in just under 3 seconds and the F1 in just over 3 seconds (and I seem to remember a similar story 0-100), how is it that the F1 was ahead from the off and then for what appeared to be way over half distance?
Both cars seemed to get away reasonably well.
:scratch:
Er looks like Bugatti were lying, I'd love to know what a veyron really does ver a quater mile not what Bugatti say it does what someone has actually done cus we know the F1 does an 11.6 and from that video it looked like they did over a quater mile before the veyron passed the F1

becasue once that bugatti gets going it storms, i do think that the bugatti is defently a awsome car, but so is the f1, there have there own rights for beeing great,
