    I like watching the re-runs on Dave, you can get a real Top Gear 'overdose' then :D

    I like the challenges that they get up to, for example, buying a Porsche for �£1500, the American adventure or the races (CLarkson in a Veyron, Hammond and May in a plane) :D

    If you haven't seen some of them, look them up on YouTube [​IMG]

    Did you see them last night when they had to buy an old car for around �£1200 and then put them through some tests to try and win some money back? Like filling the car up to the roof with water (wearing dry gear and breathers) and seeing how far they can drive the car before enough water leaked out to bring the level down to the bottom of the steering wheel. :eek: This was to see how watertight the car was. The fire brigade pumped the water in through the top from big tankers. Clarkson's car had the water running out almost as fast as it was pumped in. Once he started driving the door fell off :D :D
