View Full Version : TopGear (30/7)
Anyone see topgear last night?
When they we're testing vans a 747 was behind but it was a bit odd (hard to explain).
It looked like it had fuel pods under its wings and the engines we're closer together (poss joint together).
Anyone see it/know what it was?

On a slightly different subject, what are the two (what look like) Lockheed Electra's doing there? They've been in the back ground of a couple of episodes now, just curious, thanks in advance.

What a show eh? This combines the best of both worlds. I can see some great cars/vans/ caravans and still get glimpses of assorted props. I just wish they would put the aircraft in the background for a few seconds longer. Full marks to the team for a great but short series.

One valuable lesson from Top Gear. Under no circumstances should you get JC or Captain Slow to move your stuff in a van. As for the Stig driving that police car....What will become of the European 747??
