about time! It got rave reviews in the mag, be interesting what they think on the TV show (the 2 can often contradict each other)

I assume this thread is in the wrong section - is the FD2 the car in question? :lol:

[Scousefella]

Awwww tosh. :getcoat:

 

[giger]

don't think top gear have had the FD2 yet, certainly not the litcho car anyway (which is the one everyone is using)

Hope it is not Clarkson...he slated it.

That the EP3 time?

I expect to hear words like "More refined", "More confortable" & "Wider audience" tbh.

Check this out... apparently Top Gear are asking for a EP3 to be in the show......... apparently

i'm sure he would love it, well, i'm sure he wouldn't say a word! like he does. I would like to have gone, just to see who the Stig is!

do you not know?

i thought everyone knew who it was!

 

[Scousefella]

You don't get to see The Stig when you go to a Top Gear recording - the closest we got to him was seeing him (in his full kit) standing about 100yds away with some BBC staff.

i think the fn2 will be quicker as they seem faster from new than the ep3

(ask tp!)

I think you are right...having had both from new.

the figures dont lie!

FN2 made just under 180whp.
Came out as 212bhp & 157ft/lb with 5200 miles on the clock.
I made that with my EP3 with addition of Spoon catback and GruppeM.

no idea mate, let me in on the secret

 

[giger]

The Stig (or one of them) drove it in top gear magazine, he loved it. Programme will be different though!
