Note to self, do not attempt to outrun tank.
Bloody Good Show- So much better than the local shows. Plus they make fun of sissy government officals and beatniks.

I loved the "test drive" in the merc, he got that tail wagging nicely for a big luxo barge.

Yeah, the shows just great. And I was allowed to watch it too instead of having to put up with BB. Even my missus enjoyed it. She even laughed at the tank race bit, and the 'door ball'.

I love top gear. The Tank vs Range Rover was a classic, and so was the Toyota football. It looked like a couple of those cars were going to flip after some of those collisions!

Caught the last part. Tank verse Land Rover.. Worth downloading..
It just reminds you why Top gear is such a good car show. And the car show is so completely crap. Gawd can't someone make a decent Aussie knock off with out boring annoying personalities. Land Rover sport looked completely girly with 60 angry tons of tank chasing it. |

Incase you guys missed it you can download it at www.finalgear.com
You can aslo download Fifth Gear which I think (moi) is a better show from the same site.

I reckon Fifth gear is better too, though not as funny. Tiff is such an awesome driver.
