I think the M5 and a few other cars do that, they fake their own engine note because of the sound insulation lol. Some Renault or other even has a special pipe from the engine bay to the cabin lol.

May I suggest you watch something else next Sunday night, its not rocket science

I laughed quite a bit at last night's. Doesn't really matter that it doesn't seem as genuine as it used to, it's still a good laugh. There have definitely been worse series'.

I had a look for lease deals, but they don't seem to be widely available as of yet.

I thought exactly the same. Shame about the power, but a Montune kit should take car of that.

Was so hoping that Clarkson was going to roll his hire car on 90 mile beach, you see so many cars rolled there as all it takes is a soft bit of sand and its game over if you hit one at speed

I nearly rolled a Hagglund BV206 Snowcat in the Falklands due to soft ground on Onion range, hooning along then the next thing we all know is the thing is on its side and everyone is flying around, fortunately it recovered and pulled itself out and we carried on, a lot more carefully though

Really?! I thought the Pitlochry knitwear shop that was clearly in one shot was a chain like Edinburgh Wool Mills. Not

Were you the one who wrote the letter to Top Gear that Clarkson mentioned regarding the pointlessness of supercar testing?

You aren't forced. Simply watch iplayer (top gear usually uploaded two mins after its shown)

Hey presto, no requirement for a tv licence. I've not had one for years. The key to this working is not watching LIVE broadcasts.

I read somewhere that that is of questionable legality? I know lots of people who don't buy a TV license anyway. I condemn this utterly.
