O       :shock:             M        :shock:           FING           :shock:          G

Mmmmm Think i might sell the tiger and buy a big toy, that would save a decision whether to by a K+N filter or not.

[Stretch]

K&N doesn't seem to list a Eurofighter on their website.

[CBAT]

Yes, that's cool.  8)

WOW

[JetdocX]

Yeah, buy one. :roll:

Fuel used by Bugati:  5 gallons maybe

Fuel used by Eurofighter:  probably 400 gallons  (lots of time in burner).

Cool race, though.  The car would have won if the plane had to get lower to cross the start finish line.

Dang Stretch!!!  Where do you come up with these things?  That was sooooo cool!  I loved his line about fighting for the Germans against the RAF.  :shock:

[Apikoros]

Cool!  I wonder if the RAF will do this sort of thing for anyone, as a public service...

I remember Hunter S. Thompson making this sort of comparison long ago:

It is a little like riding the original Vincent Black Shadow, which would outrun an F-86 jet fighter on the takeoff runway, but at the end, the F-86 would go airborne and the Vincent would not

Yea! Top Gear!

That show absolutely rules. Easily the best car show on TV.

If you have cable, BBC America is running them.

There's a website floating somewhere around with bittorrent links to all the episodes.

Top Gear is an excellent show, loads of stunts like the jet race and tanks against Range Rovers etc. you can watch the current series online on the BBC website, here is the link:
