anyone know if they did a topgear with the punto (mk2 or mk2b)??

 

[simon_16vpunto1]

Quentin Wilson did one when he was on Top gear with the mk2 years ago when it 1st came out.

Vicki Butler-Henderson did one on the HGT Abarth.

How sad am I?

[smokeysworld]

it was the HGT I was curious about...just want to make sure its worth the upgrade

 

[hgtmat]

if you watch top gear this sunday comming mr clarkson is test driving the new veyron.

 

[imported_Mark]

Cant wait to see that

 

[FS Guest]

damnit i only caught it for the last part of the race. did anyone record it/ has access to download this weeks top gear? i would get it if i wasnt at uni :\

 

[M21MFS]

Clarkson won it...just!

That thing is scarey fast. And drinks muchos petrol. No doubt the environmental lobby will be moaning about this weeks episode...but bloody hell, is it a nice car.

Apparently it costs 5 million to make EACH car..which retails just shy of 900k ... so they make a loss on each car. But wouldnt you want one!

yeah i saw that part, just wanted to know if they did a lap of the track?
