    Anyone see todays top gear?

    Hartge, Works and Digi-tec in it ... where was the BBR 220/240 :(...

    Works 'won' cos of peace of mind and overall feel or something.. tho he said that all of them were superb... i'd take any of em like

    Then came the BBR275... looked superb, and he was pretty scared i thought lol...

    anyhow finally mini's got some coverage on top gear ... apart from being one of only 4 cars in sub-zero

    Great to see MINI feature on Top Gear.
    Sounds like Hartge,Digitec and BBR haven't greased enough BMW palms.:evil:
    Who needs 275bhp anyway. Its not what you have, it's how you use it..... he says in a pathetic, jealous, green with envy,why can't I afford it,it's not fair,I'm going to bed in the huff sort of way:(:(

    Certainly was great to see the MINIs featured on Top Gear after the let down at the end of the last series (feature dropped for new Bentley).

    The BBR275 'hooligan' looked just awesome (275bhp in a MINI... jeepers )
    Occasional MINI driver....... but mostly Uma Thurman ;0)

    The 275 mini is David Brodies own mini, which was at 240 when i drove it, but being 'upped' to 275 when I went back to collect Fatty!! So the 275 is also the 220 and the 240, just a wee bit faster!!

    I was VERY disappointed :disapprove:

    What is it with Top Gear? They never really say anything of interest about the cars. All that happens is you see some twit (usually Clarkson) on the track smoking tyres and looking like they haven't a clue how to drive properly.

    Clarkson should stick to chat shows and they should get Tiff back on Top Gear :) Vicki B-H would be a worthwhile addition to the show as well instead of that big snobby git they've got on there now
