Top Gear Winter Olympics

Advertisement

jeremy-screwedup-face.jpgThis is the much talked about Top Gear Winter Olympics episode, which features plenty of funky fusions of classic winter sports and automobiles. Really good cinematography by my standards anyway. It’s a whole episode, so it’s pretty long. Watch it during lunch hour or at night or something. :)

Cars featured: Audi Q7, Volvo XC90, Citroen C1, Jaguar XK8, Land Rover Discovery, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Suzuki Swift, and an old-school MINI Cooper.

    Wut the f***…

    RM80k x 20 swift = RM 1.6 MILLION go to waste in just 10min….

    they are sure some crazy folks with lots of money to waste…

    Good one Paul, do post more full-length vids…. albeit it will kill your b/width faster… :p

    In the UK they don’t have crazy CBU taxes so it’s not RM80k for them heheh.

    Paul & Damion -> I agree that it does not cost RM80k for a Swift in UK, but Im just taking that figure (as what it is priced here in MY) to show how much budget they have for a show like Top Gear….

    if its true that you have unlimited b/width……then i want more clips :D …..

    hheheeh

    as a matter of fact, the swift does cost 80k.

    i’m a hugeeeee fan of topgear and i have like all their episodes from season 1 to season 7 of jeremy clarkson’s era stored in my comp. (total about 30gigs of top gear there bro.. *wink*)

    and i saw in an episode of them talking about the swift before it was launched in the UK.. and if i remember properly, they said in a region of 11k pounds..

    so that would equal the RM80k price tag here..

    just wanted to point that out.. hehe.. vid’s great!! though i can’t see it online..
