rtune Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I don't understand the controversy didn't the end of the article contain the verdict: Verdict: Unfathomably good If he is also saying it isn't a whole heap of fun versus a typical supercar then why is that a surprise? which is more fun .. a) flying a biplane b) flying a cessna citation which is "unfathomably good" ?

funkymonkey Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Has anyone watched the newest episode of Top Gear (season 11 episode 1)? There's a very very brief clip of clarkson in a red R35 GT-R racing a bullet train, saying "bullet train? PAH!"

jarthel Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 i think leno said it best: it seems it's a car for the playstation generation. how many in the playstation generation can afford the car brand new?

R338OY Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Will be interesting to see how the TG review is spiced up compared to the Sunday Times review. My guess is it'll be totally different.

NickR33 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 does it matter which episode? your going to DL them all anyway... or at least I know I am! Loved the first episode of season 11... go TG! Oh yeah, the GTR... does anyone take what Clarckson has to say seriously!? he entertains the shit out of me but I would never buy or not buy a car based on his review Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/223494-jeremy-clarkson-gt-r-review/page/2/#findComment-3973925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R338OY Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) does anyone take what Clarckson has to say seriously!? He entertains me too, but if you peel away all the BS and jokes he's actually full of facts and insight, believe it or not. This goes for his writing (esp. pre-2000), as well as TG.

NickR33 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yeah I love his writing, read a couple of his books and I agree he's actually quite intelligent... but much of what he does is purely for entertainment so I would be careful believing every opinion he has without doing your own research Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/223494-jeremy-clarkson-gt-r-review/page/2/#findComment-3973956 Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkymonkey Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 indeed. no GT-R. they all go to tokyo for the GT-R review from the looks of the preview... or some place with a fast train (maybe they painted the french TGV white ) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/223494-jeremy-clarkson-gt-r-review/page/2/#findComment-3983551 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are JDM GT-R's in the UK. Quite a few. At least one has been flogged around the TG test track. Not sure if the Stig has had a go around the TG track yet in one though. Hopefully a JDM GT-R will suffice for there purposes or we could be waitin til next season Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/223494-jeremy-clarkson-gt-r-review/page/2/#findComment-3983712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_sudakov Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 ye that was shit. i have read on wikipedia that the new gtr, evo 10 and wrx will be reviewed. They clearly f**ked it up, as after the episode was aired, they changed the imformation by getting rid of the new gtr comment they had on that episode.

Guilt-Toy Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 thanks for posting this. great read! It clearly says to me that he was shocked with the car and without praising it like he loves it he just bagged nissan for creating something that he never expected could be done.

tribex Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 yeah yeah yeah.......just wait until some of the serious tuning houses release their real r35 development kits i doubt it will be long before 6-700kw gtrs are more than common with this new engine to play with then let clarkson drive one.

GTR-N1 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Yeah I love his writing, read a couple of his books and I agree he's actually quite intelligent... but much of what he does is purely for entertainment so I would be careful believing every opinion he has without doing your own research Let's go inside Jeremy's head for a minute !! I am extremely INTELLIGENT. I am hugely MANIC. I am very POPULAR. I am aware that I have a massive READER as well as VISUAL AUDIENCE. No how can I write an article on the R35 GT-R that's different than anybody else - because I also have my WEAKNESSES (such as some technical savvy)?? So since I'm so much in demand as an intelligent, manic and popular PRESENTER in TG, I can at least stir up people's emotions with SUBJECTIVE comments and leave a few OBJECTIVE TECHNICAL Specifications to someone else! This is why Post #28 is so 'spot on'.
