Good show - must say I like the M6 though (and i'm not a BMW fan!). The Porsche is dull in my opinion, and the Aston's just missing something (and that "Beauty, Power, Soul" thing when you start it up is almost as crap as BMW's idrive!!)

I'm just going for looks with the Aston. Sod everything else.

Or you could just wait for the new XK to be released...

If it were me, I'd scrape together the extra 20k (if you can afford 80k, it isnt *that* much more) to get the DB9 instead of the Vantage... and then get a Ferrari F430 instead

I think I'd choose the M6, but just barely. The Aston is by far the most beautiful, but I can't turn down 500bhp!! The Porsche is also a fantastic car, just too common. But I'm being very very nit-picky. They're all too close to really find a winner. I'd say, they're about 1/10ths seperating them in points

I wish they'd put the M6 V10 in the Aston shell over the Porsche chassis. I think that could honestly be the best car EVER!!

alot of that episode was filmed on the Isle of Man....where I live.

The lighthouse you may have seen in the background belongs to Jeremy Clarkson.

I lose my "R-Plates" on friday (R-plates are compulsory on the IOM for 1 year after test - Restricted to 50mph). Then there are no speed limits!!!!!!

In the preview I got a glimpse of something that looks to be amazingly funny.

They retuned a Ford Mondeo so that it works by remote control (like an RC car), they ahve sat Hammond down in the back seat and given the Jeremy the remote control, you can just imagine how good thats going to be.

m6 is so ugly and a bit chav.. whereas the porsche and aston are just classic and have the looks, performance wise id go for the porsche but looks/presence id go for the aston.. having seen 1 and sat in 1 previously outstanding.. although they have covered up half the engine bay which looks kinda silly..

Ne1 surprised that the porsche was quickest round the track?

Nope.

M6 with red leather is pretty badass though.

[Traum]

Watched it!!!!! I follow that program religiously!

[_Jax_]

Because its better. However the vantage volante that's totally different!

You're right about the BMW - although the M6 with the red interior ^^ is quite nice - they are just high performance production cars.

The Aston is just a bit more special.

[Sync]

Wrighty was about 6 or so from the top I think.

Thanks. Wow. His lap looked rubbish. Maybe they edited for comic effect

[Cranium]

I think he was about 4th

[bluenoxid]

I liked the inflatable car

Had to laugh at the bit about the spoiler coming up at 75mph. Police wont need speed guns, only a photo of your spoiler. Which twit thought that one up.

[Traum]

I want that flying car!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thomasp]

I want one of those remote control cars!!!!!!!
