    Oh no, it's Top Gear time again. So that means a reminder thread every Sunday

    No one put up a reminder thread last Wednesday when the news was on, which meant I missed it

    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.

    Re: Top gear

    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.

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

    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

    Re: Top gear

    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.

    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
