Top gear is a show strictly about cars with a touch of humor...Great show!!! I am hooked on it.

this a great episode, watch it all if you got some time to kill. So who do you think wins the race......?

Wow ,i am biased i would prefer the 182 although if they had the turbo mod they could have went over the mountains .
All that for a mummified testical for the soup.

Top Gear is the best car show out there.

If you've got time to spare, go by air.

Awesome vid!

5,000,000 quid?

For the torrent site, which episode should we download if we only want to watch the bugatti vs 182 race?

The Bugatti is also likely to improve your success with the fairer sex. The 182...not so much.

seems like the DOC of the Bugatti is MUCH higher, especially condiering the tickets you will get, unless you're ready to put down 800.000 quid to go @ 100 km\h

Okay, 130 if you're in Europe*

Unfortunately, you can't speed on the roads like that anymore. Big clamp downs in France and Switzerland. In Switzerland, the fine is $20 per kilometer over the speadlimit.

A buddy of mine was clocked at 144km/hr in a 100 zone. Do the math. $880 speeding ticket. Since he had French plates, they couldn't yank his license. If he had a Swiss license, he would have lost it.

The good old days of doin 190 on motorway to work in the morning are behind us. That Top Gear story was shot at least a year ago before the clampdown.

Using a C182 for this comparison is a pretty strange choice.

I might suggest a P-51D North American Mustang as a better choice. It is far more comparable to the ferociously fast and powerful, rare, exotic and incredibly expensive Bugatti Veyron.

Even an L-39 would have been a better choice, and I think you can pick one up for only $250k.

Or how about even a homebuilt turbine Lancair IV-P?

But a C182? That's like casting Rosie O'Donnell in a porn flick. Not the best choice.

Hundred's of comedians out of work, and you're willing to work for free.
Fvck, you make me laugh.
