bezzabsa:
just been re watching some old top gears on sky, what a load of tosh (user friendly word ;) )
put a Jag 220 against F40 and Mclaren F1... then had the cheek to say that NOTHING  could beat the F40 on acceleration and heres the key wording "for the price"..'scuse me but ANY of the big 4's 1000cc bikes from the last couple of years would kill a f40 on acceleration and top speed, and all for less than £10k...(hayabuse 0-60 2.1 sec top speed 208)
Now i know this is a Land rover forum, but as a fair few of us also own 2 wheelers (me included) just get me so mad that a pompous pillock like clarkson can also get away with saying that the new aston martin has a 'gorgeous exhaust sound that can be heard for up to 2 miles' and then in his next breath complain about bikers coming past his house with 'loud cans'...
someone ouht to point out to him that we all havent got bottomles bank balances, and so we buy what we an afford..point in question this morning - the new Disco 3.. starts at ONLY £27000....excuse me I didnt pay that for my house!! and then he moans that the TDV6 is too slow??
Anybody else got a gripe with the tw (insert vowel) t.......??

to be honest i never really took notice of the 'facts' he used to come out with, i just liked the analegies (cant spell :cry: ) he came out with.

On the whole I find him funny, but he is a real bigot when it comes to bikes.

I ride a Kawasaki ZL600 Eliminator (currently off road because we have been too busy playing with the Landies).  I haven't yet found a car it couldn't  out accelerate up to 60.  Its also still going strong at 21 years old - you can't say that for many cars.

Favourite game with boy racers used to be to accelerate quickly away from the lights up to the speed limit, but then stick to the speed limit.  Boy racers would pass me, thinking they had 'won' just to get a nice picture from the speed cameras scattered liberally around our area.  :twisted:

boy racers are stupid and funny to look at.
but i was once one back in the day :oops:

What about the Blackpool machines;
Sagaris
Tuscan 'Red Rose'
T440

I'd reckon for the money they cost on a ££ - per - MPH basis (or acceleration - per - ££) the Sagaris will top any standard production road going car.

Sagaris
Cost = circa £50,000
Max Speed = 185mph +
0-60 = 3.7
0-100= 8.1
