I'm Right This Time! - Top Gear = 370Z = Sunday 26th July '09

chubbs · 07-20-2009, 11:36 AM

"Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May immerse themselves in the world of classic cars to find out if they really are, as the anoraks claim, more fun than modern machinery. Armed with a budget of 3,000 pounds each, they attempt to buy a pre-1982 car at auction. Rather than undertaking a series of challenges to see who has got the best deal, the trio are sent off to Majorca to take part in one very big challenge - a seemingly unfathomable classic car rally.

Also in the show, Jeremy drives with dinosaurs in the new BMW Z4 and Nissan 370Z, and rock god Brian Johnson is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car."

Link - BBC - BBC Two Programmes - Top Gear, Series 13, Episode 6 (new series)

Unfortunately, it's being driven by Clarktw@t, who will think it's funny to call it a Datsun and slag off the 350Z.

Just as a tester, is anyone in the USA able to watch the video on this link... BBC - BBC Two Programmes - Top Gear, Series 13, Episode 5 (new series)

It's the video of last week's episode. If you are able to see it, it will be easy to link you to the 370Z episode after it has been broadcast next Sunday (but I have a horrible feeling it may only be watchable in the UK - hope I'm wrong).

i'd rather have clarkson than may, but hammond would have been ideal for this one. he adored his 300zx in the latest episode, until clarkson messed with him.

He was also a defender of the 350Z - I agree with you.

I reckon/hope so - which do you think would win - new Z4 or the Z? If they compare it with the most powerful Z4 it will be close.

It would be really close, but it may be the Z4. What time are you guessing for the Z? We should start a new thread....?

I say 127.2

Clarkson will probably claim they weren't able to complete a lap because it overheated.... or put up a 3 minute time due to limp mode!
