P1015 on Top Gear US

[Luke Warmwater]

On the History Channel tonight if you can stomach these guys. They should have had Tanner drive it IMO.

I recorded it (or will at 10:00 or so). I saw the teaser in the one we watched from last weekend. The look on his face in the teaser was priceless!!! I wish they would get Jeremy to drive a real one.

Do you mean Tanner? This one is on Top Gear US. You know, the one that is really quite sorry.

No. Clarkson really needs to drive a car that will whip him around.

Tanner is OK. He is a driver. After all was said and done he got to drive the McLaren last week.

Ah okay, you are mixing hosts from both shows. Actually, Jeremy did drive a real one several years ago.

That was okay but those guys are hard to watch. Kit car this and Ferrari that. Its just not very clever or witty dialog between them. Tanner did toss the SPF around a bit and it did beat a 575 handily on the track but still... come on guys. Just be normal for once and carry on a normal conversation talking about the cars.

You are correct...can't stomach those guys. But, can't stomach Clarkson either.

Well, he seemed to like it.

You gotta like Clarkson, he punched out Piers Morgan....

 

[twobjshelbys]

Yeah but the US version, he got to drive it 6 feet. Gimee break.

I'm pretty sure 1015 if larry Miller's car, and I got pictures and video of it at the Shelby American Collection party last fall.

Still the whole GT40 thing on the show was at the Miller track and the GT40 SPF replica did get his attention. They are raw animals. He would have had the same reaction if he'd driven a Cobra. The SPF car was one of the Shelby 85th anniversary cars.
