Gtr

I was never a fan of the GTR, it just didnt excite me but I really like this one.

It doesnt look that great, I dont like the jagged roof line but its pure performance.

I know they will be marked up alot and probably be going for over $100K but I think its a better bang for the buck

I rather get this than a Z06

apparently GTR aftermarket parts is starting to appear. It seems like Nissan was trying to discourage that with technology. For example i think the wheels have a sensor on them that won't allow you to swap to an aftermarket wheel. IDK

If anyone wants to download the show, here's the bit torrent file for it:

http://www.mininova.org/get/1614818

Of course, you'll then have to download the actual show with a torrent client such as limewire.

It's a great show. For Clarkson not to bash the car in any way is really big... he's always got something critical to say about every car he drives ... something I really like about this show. It's like the antithesis of Motor Week

No joke dude! And I used to love watching that show on Saturday afternoons... then again, that's approximately the same era I thought the Dodge Avenger was cool.

I couldn't see the video and have no clue how to use bit torrent.

That is so cool though that there is an "I am The Stig" ladies shirt! I think I have to get one. After all, how do you know for sure that The Stig is a dude?

To open the files you will need a RAR unpacker such as this one:
http://www.uberdownloads.com/unrar.html
(just open the first one and the rest will follow suite)

And if a password is needed this is it (just type that in when it asks for a password, don't click the link):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/

P.S. I bought an I am the Stig t-shirt and got my friend a stiggy t shirt too. If I had the cash (the shirts are $30+) I would buy them all! I think everyone should get one
