Really?? I thought the 2nd one was way better. The first episode just seemed very 'staged'. Beautiful roads, loverly cars, but getting lost and waking up under a dam? and May crashing his car?
This one was far more entertaining too. Once everyones finished watching it, ill post a few links to the reviews.

Them doing that crash test in reverse had me ROFL!

The second episode was truly a let down after the first. R8 V10 made it interesting else the episode was a waste. They are funny alright but we need Cars also. Waiting for the Third now.

How many weeks in this season?? They did not show a Season preview in the first episode for a change this time.

I downloaded 1st episode from youtube at around 320 Mbs. Quality is ok.
Hope it gets better with every episode.

It was just a plane jane " How hard can it be " episode. Nothing spectacular.

I have to say that the R8 V10 looked amazing. Im am a big fan of the R8. The alloys are absolute drool stuff

.

Frankly the ZR1 doesnt do the trick for me.

i suggest you download the 700mb torrent as the video quality will be much better.

Damn what a funny Episode, I liked it much more than the first one which was quite routine.

yes the EU tests were hilarious

amulu10 · 25th November 2009, 01:35

if the 1.5 gb 720p version wasn't clear enough there is a 1080 p 4.5 GB version available now!

. People with large bandwidths and huge plasmas/lcds,your prayers have been answered!
