Just watched both episodes!

I am SO glad it's back... wow... it's been so long.

I loved the Renault Espace. That was just too funny!!!!! I loved the way the glass shattered, and Clarkson wasn't doing anything!!!

These are episodes from 2006. We still have 2007 to get... but those were delayed when Richard wrecked the jet car... lucky man, really.

The Koenigsegg is one bad assed car... but without any rear downforce, it will be a bit touchy. It is crying out for some aero assistance. I watched the slo-mo, the rear hit a dip in the pavement, and that's all she wrote.

Koenigsegg then went back to the drawing board and added a stabilizer. Stig drove it again, kept it on the track and turned in a great time.

They already had the wing as an option. It makes a differance but lowers the top speed a bit. It is up to the buyer to decide ...

It makes better TV if it was Top Grers idea to add the wing.

Great show, but re-runs. Cool Zo6 test, but those guys are to used to soft euro cars or something, said it was only good for the track! They would cry if they drove my car!
