You talking out of experience?

@ Rouxenator: The branch seems to have more than one prick :D

Talking from the position of looking at some n00b arriving and throwing his/her weight around the thread with tantrums and demands...

You know you can ignore users or even just ignore the thread if posts offend you?

Boet, on my 4 year old 25W low power CPU it takes about a day to do that! It's a new kind of slow. At least you get to see a sneak peak of the chapters in the show. That just on normal compression. When I dial it up all the way to 2-pass with "veryslow" preset for maximum quality a 20 minute "research" clip of questionable nature takes 3 days.

See, classic me, totally derailed this. :whistling:

@Rouxenator You are next on wazup's list... :p

Edit: I would just like to add, I started my download of the 720p webrip 2GB @ 1pm and will report back here when I have finished watching it, just in case @FiestaST misses something. :D

Like you ignored me...not!! Talk about having double standards LOL.

Anyway, gents, you enjoy your keyboard ninja party, there is more than life than typing away on a forum on a Friday afternoon...like packing up for the week and having a cold beer, which is what I'm gonna do now...cheers!

But I don’t want to ignore you, I’m more than happy to tell you to stop being an idiot when you’re trying to be the thread police after only making 200-ish posts on the forum...

Another very cool episode! Surprised that Jeremy and Richard were allowed to thrash two and half million quid's worth of cars around but evidently Amazon's insurance budget is equal to the task.

As for Nick Mason's daughter... Some say she has another job on a pokey motoring show on BBC in her spare time :D

208. Very entertaining episode. Really enjoyed that period piece with JC in that AM DB4 GT & Hamster in the Jaaaaag XK SS. Iconic beauty. If I was forced to choose between the two I think I would vote for the Jaaaag.

May's take on the old cars v new cars story was a good watch. He really enjoys the new CTR.

New Ford GT just looks so menacing on the track. Really surprised the Lamborghini Huracán Performante was still faster.

I think it's probably to be expected as Lambo has their focus on the premium market. They make fast cars and they make them well. Ford...well, sure, they have their racing division but they also make the Figo, so one could argue they are less focused than Lambo on outright premium vehicles. That and the Ford GT actually did really well considering it 'only' has a V6 powering it.

That sloped track they found was hectic. There is no way I would dare attempt that. I would pull a Hammond and chicken out :D
