Top Gear Sunday

[Parisien]

To the purist supercar driver the Huracan must be much more attractive than something the just looks different/bizarre, its a very serious contender for someone very interested in outright, tear the AR5E out of your pants driving!

The Huracan will have a big competitor when the new R8 is launched, it will be 99% the same car in V10 form, will cost £50-60k less, has a fraction of the running costs (due to crazy Lambo servicing costs) and will probably be just as eye catching due to the Huracans new conservative styling. I'd be surprised if the Huracan is as successful as the Gallardo, still wouldn't mind one though

 

[Contigo]

Repeat is on now.

Watched the repeat
Enjoyed it all
Loved the Huracan in spite of what the country bumpkin said

 

[highlander]

Just watched it and as usual, enjoyed it for entertainment value. Huracan not my kind of wheels, but then lambos never are, so did not get the negatives hamster was going on about.......prefer my cars curvy not angular.

Lofty, I dont think i'll ever be old enough to drive an Audi

....or boring enough. Or twatish enough. Personally, I can't stand Owdies or the average Owdie driver.

The mupps next door have just bought a new diesel Owdie on the knock...what a load of tosh...but then he works for LinkedIn and hasn't even got a clue how to refix a kitchen downpipe!

Don't worry Benny - I won't be in the least offended. I have to say I can't stand the average Audi driver either and it is the dullest car I've ever owned - never again.

I feel the same about Beamer drivers, utter tw4ts

 

[Contigo]

Handbags lads!

 

[alfatwo]

So is it the same for all German cars and drivers, are they all tw@ts?

Dave

 

[BennyD]

It used to be BM drivers that were kn0bs but it seems a lot of them have gone across to Owdies and Mercs, just as Clarkson said in the test of the RS4, M3 and C63. The wife of a long time friend has just bought a black A3 and I mentioned Owdi drivers and their driving behaviour. I saw her just after new year and she told me she agrees with me! Nearly every time someone cuts her up, tail gates her or brake tests her, it's an Owdie, usually a black A3 or A4. Have a look the next time you are on a motorway.

 

[jayblue]

Oh dear, not sure what all this talk makes me, as a former BMW driver and current A4 owner...

My excuse is that i have the A4 for all the boot space the dog needs and that i saw the light and sold the BMW for something infinitely more cultured. I do tend to leave a bigger gap to cars i'm following now i have the Maserati - although that is more to do with the fact my front bumper and wings were freshly repainted to remove the stone chips and i don't want to get them peppered in marks again.

 

[BennyD]

Which BM did you have?

 

[jayblue]

Which BM did you have?

I had a e92 335i, N54 engine.

 

[BennyD]

Nice car. I've got a 335D and that's a nice car too. However, after a cross country thrash I never look back at it and smile. Competent but not charismatic. Never been moved to try an Owdie though.

 

[Andyk]

So is it the same for all German cars and drivers, are they all tw@ts?

Dave

Um, hope not....

 

[drewf]

Of course sweeping statements don't apply to all drivers of any particular make of car, just as it's foolish to attempt to label an entire country as having a population with but a single mind. There are tw@ts and great people everywhere.

 

[Contigo]

Agreed, I've had both and liked them but don't like the childish labeling of drivers as if they can all be pigeonholed into a category just because of the car they choose to drive. Started with Clarkson and it's been done to Death.
