Fifth Gear Oct 18/04

It's sooooooooo good! Tiff went to McLaren to see how they build the SLR and he ripped one on the track (with traction control off).

I have the vids via BT...anyone can host it for me? Or you guys just want the BT link?

You should check it out when you get the chance. I finally get Speed Channel so I try to watch it when I can.

clarkson? ah! you got to be kidding me. He's a AT driving panzy. Tiff does things with cars that clarkson could never do, which is why they had to bring in the stig when Tiff left the Top Gear.


By the way, if someone could host this it would be apreciated , thanks

I saw it the first time the other night. It was about the ultimate "sports" car. Apparently the classic definition of a sports car is a 2 seater with a drop top, engine dosent matter (tell that to insurance companies).

Winner? The Boxster...

My favourite Super Cars: McLaren Mercedes SLR and Aston Martin DB9
Seeing Tiff ripping the SLR just makes me

OK I just watched the video,

that MacLaren factory is unreal

That SLR is sweeeeet , but I still think that it's is a littel too civilized and has far too much luxury. But if you want a super car you can drive every day, its not a bad choice at all!

And come on, ...Clarkson? He test drove the SLR on a landing strip and barely let the tail out. Tiff is a maniac behind the wheel. I think he said it best at the end, "STIG that in your pipe and smoke it".
