^Not exact quote, but you get the idea.

Shitty ass movie. I''m going to watch it and enjoy every minute of it.
in top gear hammond was testing the Vauxhall Monaro VXR. which is a disguised GTO.

the japanese drift team is called the D1 Drifters.
"the engines do need extra oomph though, so they are chipped and nitroused up to 500 brake horsepower"

hah, thank you for the corrections.

I can't believe GTO just slipped out instead of Monaro =P.

without a doubt shitty, but entertaining; chock full of cheesey lines and relatively good looking women with inflated egos and really shitty acting.

I hated the first one cause it tried too hard to be cool and legit.

The 2nd one was just so ridiculous and over the top I didn't care anymore. I loved it.

For drifting, it makes perfect sense.

The white Biff-type guys in the Tokyo Drift trailers ... they could have done without those.
They make as much sense as TLs in Tokyo.
