Nah, there not sold there just being shown to Korea now. I loved all of that episode. The door of the Rover was hilarious, strangely I want that car...
 
I saw it. Who would love that song they made with their cars on a CD. They should make one with loads of car made songs!
 
I very much enjoyed their little run with the BL cars. Although, I would have loved to have seen more with the DBS, its just such an incredible car. And whats-her-name from AbsoFab and Harry Potter?

Love it!

I can't believe she made it to the second spot! I hope they bring her back next week so she can knock Simon Cowell off the top-spot!
 
She looked fast and clean, I thought it was a good run. I hope she is able to knock off that a hole cow.
 
Are they up to episode 6 or 7? I've seen 6, and I can't find anything on 7, yet there's things I haven't seen yet. Handbrake test? The girl from Harry Potter?

Ooops, my mistake.

For some reason I thought Jennifer Sauders played Mrs. Weasley. But I did get the Absolutely Fabulous identification correct... God I miss the '90s...

I was, literally, in tears...

Every time Hamster or Clarkson parked their BLs close enough to smack the door into Mays.. Awesome :-)
 
Next episode sounds interesting:

Top Gear
Hold onto your cork-brimmed hats this Sunday as Vauxhall throws another V8-powered shrimp on our motoring barbie. This is just a mere taster of the cultural stereotyping you can expect when Clarkson checks out the replacement for the much-loved Aussie Monaro - the VXR8.

Renault temporarily loses its senses and hands Richard the keys to a full-blown Formula One car, and a Grand Prix star of a very different kind pays a visit to our studio.

Also in the show, Jeremy and James go in search of the car that set the mould for what we all drive around in today.

The Monaro sounds pretty awesome, but hasnt he tested it a few times already?
 
VXR8!!!!! Yay, I love that car and I reckon they'll love it just as much as the Monaro.

Hamster in an F1 Renault, AWESOME!

3rd point, sounds abit boring. but yay, cant wait for another top gear fix

More like a Commodore or something.
 
VXR8 to the UK = HSV Clubsport R8 to the Aussies

The body structure is based on the VE Commodore

Aussie Monaro...
Isnt the VXR8 just the CV8Z in Vauxhall badges?
The one you showed is the HSV Clubsport R8 i think.

Tree'd anyway.
 
The aussie Monaro CV8Z = Monaro VXR here in the UK I believe, which as we all know has ended production with the VXR8(UK) / Clubsport R8(Aus) as the successor.
 
The reason they are reviewing must be because they loved the Monaro.
 
I wonder if the VXR8 they'll have will feature the duel exhaust sound setting.



I love the sound this makes with the Wortec setup.

I loved Clarkson's joke when he said "I was going to say you were 'half of French and Saunders' but technically that's not quite correct" :lol:
 
and Hammond, Hamster loved the Monaro too, especially when they got the D1 Drift guys in it. lol
 
I thought we'd already gathered that Hammond + Fast car = bad idea?
