    Ford Fiesta........The Adventure

    Ok, simply one the coolest episodes of Top Gear I've viewed yet:

    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_KIqdS1SO0"]YouTube - Jeremy's Extreme Ford Fiesta road test[/ame]
    "Wise man say: Forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza."

    Is this just starting to be shown in the US?
    The rest of the world (and a few *ahem* resourceful Americans) saw this a few months ago.
    "Kimi, can you improve on your [race] finish?"
    "No. My Finnish is fine; I am from Finland. Do you have any water?"

    I don't have cable television......and I didn't see this posted anywhere on the site yet. So I figured I'd share with the group (those less fortunate souls who can't or haven't seen this yet).

    Neither do I. It has forced me to be more "resourceful."
    Sometimes its nice though. You wouldn't believe some of the shit my friends waste their time watching. Though I guess I waste away on a car forum, so I can't throw stones.

    A forumite, I think it was fisetdavid... can't remember, posted a review of a Chevy Aveo... I think... in the form of Jeremy's review of the Fiesta a while back.

    This episode was out half a year ago, and the new season is starting in less than a week.

    You're almost as behind as NZ tv :P

    we get to watch shows like this here in the UK about 5 times a day on a digital channel called DAVE so we dont really have to download them anymore. This episode was aired quite a while back. He pretends to review it but takes it on a chase inside a shopping market with a corvette if i remember correctly. Shame he didnt do a bit of actual reviewing though because this has been one of the more important car launches of the year in the UK.

    Top Gear starts up Sunday again and I couldn't be more excited. In America we only get half a year old episodes on BBC America. Last night I was watching one from 2007 (The make your own limos and Hammond tests the Mustang GT500).

    This was probably one of the better segments, it had lulz but it also had information.

    Shame it was a segment they wasted on a Fiesta.

    I just think the Fiesta is god forsakenly ugly.

    But thats just me. Any car that produces that kind of bow wave & still runs gets respect.
