    New series is pretty good, loved the amphibious vehicle challenge bit and Clarkson's Mercedes S class overhaul...

    i still cant believe how much ass that tank was hauling! also its main cannon had rifling in it just like a gun barrel for extra accuracy. And the turret does a full 360 in about 5 seconds(from memory).

    Tee hee! Yeah, some of those blokes are wicked drivers.

    That old dude (his name escapes me) is a legend! Good driver and the way he describes/pays out on different cars cracks me up.

    "Only people who wear cardigans would buy one of these!" LOL - sounds like something I'd say...

    SBS is showing series 6 at the moment but season 8 is the current series in the UK, Season 8 is pretty good so far, there's another car soccer game for the World Cup special as well as the amphibious vehicle challenge, Top Gear took a break of 5 weeks in the UK for the World Cup so have only just gotten back into new episodes over there...

    The amphibious car episode was awesome, good thing he didnt put the two engines on it, wouldnt have made it at all

    i think there is only one way to settle all the bickering on this site between holden & ford and that is to try to get TopGear to put them up against one another on their show. maybe if we all keep messaging them, asking them to do so, they will.

    I'm not writing this to get f*#kwits replying with "ford won't even make it onto the boat over there" and other bullsh#t etc.

    problem is if they think like the guys from wheels and so on so forth they will probly pick the ford cos it's got a turbo...stupid magazines...

    though the VE is the newest of the holdens and fords and they also generally pick the newest of the two vehicles being tested...toss up...
    Need some parts for my VH 253:
    Green standard steering wheel...Green lower B-pillar covers.
    Green sunglasses holder/lower dash bits...Air-con and assorted engine bay parts.
    PM with any info.

    well they love to give jeremy shit about his ford GT, and they seem to like the chevy engines, so they might like the commodore more. the european style of the VE might appeal more to them as well.
    also, they already had the monaro on there a few times and they all loved it
