Captain Slow drives the Pagani Zonda F Roadster. :wow: That is one impressive car. Edit - of course it had better be for eight hundred fifty thousand pounds.

7. The Bugatti has been on a number of times.
They've never had Stig go around the track in it.

9. James took it around a track and got it to its top speed of 253.
That was a couple of weeks ago, I believe.

12. And Clarkson raced it against May and Hammond in May's plane.
From the UK to Italy. Or Italy to the UK, I forget. That was one of the best episodes ever, thanks to May. Season 6 or 7.

13. Is it just me or is The Stig the funniest character on TV?
Dude never says a word and he's hilarious.

I'm still waiting for my Lego Stig though.

15. Wow! I cannot believe Clarkson made it driving like hell.
Man, that says a lot for the economy of the diesel engine.

16. Man, that Veyron is something else.
Edited on Mon Mar-02-09 08:59 PM by GOPisEvil
Only the 4th fastest car in TG track history.

Correction: 5th fastest as it was just passed by the Zonda F Roadster.

19. Bloated but brilliant.
The Zonda F Roadster is still far better. That's what I'd buy.

Well, you know, if I was an Exxon CEO or Britney Spears.

20. What? You don't want a Gumpert?
Not the sexiest sounding thing on four wheels is it? Plus, it's ugly as Dick Cheney.

21. The Apollo? The Blue Meanie?
Ghastly. The seats don't move, and it looks like something launched from the Death Star.
