The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

[GEoMaNTiK]

Hey Guys,

Have checked out this great new flick from Jeremy Clarkson (of Top Gear).

He heads to the states to do a roundup of the best cars (or is that worst) the states have to offer when compared to Europe. Now I got the sense of a very biased opinion and the fact that he has never liked america, anyway this was one enjoyable film.

This is a quick brief of some of the tested cars... He takes out various muscle cars from the Corvette Z06 (awesome power), Cadillac XLRV (surprising amount of power), basic Ford Mustang (ok), a '68 Stang (simply draw dropping muscle), then a great coverage of the Ford Mustang Cobra - one tuned by Shelby and the other by Roush. The Roush Cobra is an amazing machine, one car that Jeremy loved driving on the track, it's balance of handling and power would have me importing one if I had the $$$'s. And the supercharger on that thing sounds like a Jet as it keeps spooling.

Then he moves through various crap american beasts, until he comes across my favourite - the Dodge Viper SRT/10. OHHH MAN, that thing with it's HUGE 8.3 Litre V10 is a MONSTER for power, absolutely unforgiving if you lose it, but who cares, it would be a laugh to have that much power rumbling under you.

He also gets a hold of a Ford GT with all it's 500bhp, which he loves... but then the surprise package was left until last, ohh this was a sweet surprise that had me as horny as 16year old watching their first porn movie. Wait for it...

Ford GTX1 - no less than 700bhp of pure excitement, rips the sh*t out of everything else he drove and he even decided to buy one after his test drive, I guess a very good idea for Ford to let him test it. You will be pissing yourself when you hear and see this thing rip through gears and just leaves you wondering how you can get your hands on one...

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly - a great flick but suffers from the constant comparison to euro cars but has the right amount of cars & power to leave you in awe of the USA's love for muscle.

did anyone see season 6 of top gear - he was pretty much having problems with his Ford GT since he got it from the states... no wonder he's a little angry against American cars

as for The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, it's on the DL as we speak thanks for the heads up

I started to download early episodes of Top Gear. Ones from the early 90's before James May came on. I watched the first show and so much has changed. The audience back then was small but when you watch the show today they are packed in like sardienes. He use to do another show before he made his return to Top Gear which I am trying to find.

Would any of you guys know what it is called?

try IMDB - it should list his tv/movie career stuff there

If it's not in here he didn't do it.

I just finish reading the wikipedia about Jeremy Clarkson. Will it be unreasonable of me to ask him to become an Australian citizen and run for Prime Minister?

He shoulda bought an S7. At least then he'd be able to go fast.
