I'M NOT WORTHY!!!!

A ZR-1 it was in fact... and I may not be able to ever afford one, but I want to DRIVE one!!

And as much as I adored the original Challengers, straight liners as they were, I would not give 0.10 to drive (a new) one now.

And to think, Hammond gave around $55K to do the same thing. What a waste.

Absolutely the BEST EPISODE TO DATE (series, if you happen to be British): Vietnam.
A 125cc Minx (sp?), a 50cc Honda (about 50 yrs old too,) and a Vespa.

Best line: "My Dong is all wet." said by James May.

Now, if Jeremy's Mazaratti had a recent 8000lb engine rebuild, why was it the only one of the 10,000lb Super-cars to throw a rod? Hmmmm.....?
Musta' been rebuilt by an old Leyland employee.

None of them made it though. Not even James.

True, but not my point.
Besides, James car had electrical issues from the very beginning. 'Look! James had bought a "lorry!!"'

You got to love Jeremy! "Some say his heart is upside down and his teeth glow in the dark". Where does he come up with this s++t. I must admit it's funny as hell.

Good writers, my friend.
I loved, and remembered that one too.

Will we ever get to see who the Stig really is??
