Video! Top Gear does RC

Top Gear is a great tv show about cars and sometimes they do some crazy stuff. In this show they race real cars that were made into rc cars. Now, I know this is a place about rc planes, but I'm shure we've all had a go with rc cars. I got a feeling though it wasn't like this.
sorry, you'll have to double click the video

I am glad they brought back Top Gear. Richard Hammond aka the Hammster got seriously hurt in driving the jet powered dragster. They have done some really great challenges; one of which was here in the USA. Its too bad more people here in America dont watch it. The way they rate cars is really cool.

I think the reason that most people here don't like it is because of things like that episode. I think they made America look as bad as they possibly could have (although I don't really disagree with what they said or pointed out).

And check out the review of the C6:

They may have some valid points, but saying that leaf springs make a chassis archaic is like saying that wood props make your airplane archaic. Don't cheapen your message like that.
