Dave,

I know this program has already run in the UK on the normal BBC channel, however for us outside the UK it is the first time it will be broadcasted.... :)

From what I read here and there, the RS6 get the preference ?

Cheers

This car is a stairway to heaven, a Bohemian rhapsody....

Does it get better than that?

Seems to me that Clarkson was pretty impressed by the RS6, and that he chose it over the E55 surprised me a bit, considering he owns an SL55... Anyway; the RS6 sound is amazing!
And the "Lada by Lotus" was hilarious :hihi:

Greetings.

I have a MPEG2 file captured directly from the stream from a digital cablereceiver with that testdrive.:roll:

It's about 113MB in size.
(Or about 200MB unedited with the AMG E55 drive included)

If anyone can host the file(s), I'll be happy to upload it there.

Regards,
Magnus

Hi Magnus
I would love to see that video:) I have a blue Avant coming in June:D and I cant wait much longer. I cant find it anywhere else on the web. Can you tell me where to get it from. I will rip it into several different sizes and host it myself, until my ISP gets :argue: mad about the bandwidth.
Regards Gaz

I've downloaded the TopGear movie now.
It's quite good I must say.

Only one problem...Jeremy talks with about 75% of the normal speed. Something like Jabba the Hut.
Will try to solve that before it's put online... :eye:
