See what I mean?

Despite being heavy, the GT-R is still in the same league as these cars, and that's why I admire Nissan. But that doesn't mean that they cannot make it any lighter and nimbler.

Ahem. I agree about it being heavy compared to these cars but the pricing on these fab 4? Cutting weight on the GT-R would certainly mean higher cost. Nissan's position on this is if I am not mistaken is something like cost of a luxury sedan but performance of a..
Mr Clarkson comments something to that effect as well.

Thriller is a separate DVD.

I think the GT-R is perfect as it is - some comfort, neck breaking performance, wallet-friendly price. It is in my "Buy when I have money" list (which is separate from the list which has stuff like the Reventon on it). I worry about servicing it. Maybe in twenty years, they'll have a dealer network here with the Nissan Performance people who specialize in the GT-R.

For the hardcore people, a V-Spec is coming - lighter, faster, costlier.

just managed to catch the 4th episode - I had expectations from the veyron, but I guess its not really a track car, not comparable to the zonda or any other car in the 1.17s or lower. Veyron also didn't seem that fun around the track, too composed

You Got that right!! There seem to be no Spoilers this time though!!

Cyrus43 · 1st December 2008, 10:48

Just started Downloading it...The wait seems to be soooo FRUSTRATING!!!

sujaylahiri · 1st December 2008, 10:53

Just finished watching it.

The Cool Wall's back. Otherwise, quite an ordinary run of the mill episode.

Although you do get to see a record almost being shattered. Won't elaborate too much on that.

Is this a different episode?

Samir Taheer · 1st December 2008, 13:50

Clarkson Thriller is his DVD. I watched it over the weekend, it was quite good.

michael schume · 1st December 2008, 22:08

Fifth episode was good. It was simple yet funny.
All in all good fun.

Hi guys..

Cant find the episodes on bearshare..

Does anyone have them on CD / DVD??

Where do i get them from? Is the Thriller DVD on sale in Bombay?

Cheers..

Ok, one question

I have downloaded the files, avi video format, and am able to watch the same on my laptop. I then cut a VCD through Nero to watch the same on TV. But on playing the VCD, there is a lot of shrieking noise and the video is also not continuous. Do I need to have any settings enabled while converting it to a VCD? Or any other way?

Also, anyone in Bangalore having the previous seasons? Easier to duplicate than download.

Thanks.
