and still no M400. Anyone know when it might be??

In the meantime we'll just have to content ourselves with the Toyota Prius feature next week. Mmm can't wait!!

They should have called it the Toyota Pious.

Can't believe how Clarkson drives - I had thought he was good - that German girl was impressive though! ;-)

Have you done the Nurburgring? I haven't, but everyone I know says that it bites. 10 mins is a pretty good time if you've never done it from what I've read / spoken to people about - particularly if you have the car he had!

To only gain 40 seconds from a girl that had "done more than 50,000 laps" got respect from me - to only be 7% slower than a pro is not bad going after two days IMHO!

My advice would be to watch every week (just in case schedules change), but pay special attention to Dec 19.

I'm sure someone told me the M400 breaks the lap record this series. Anyone?

Isn't she the lady that drives the Ring Taxi??

Never done it myself but heard about a woman who will take you around in an M5. Must have a go this next year!

i believe that she is one on the ladies who drive the M5 ring taxi. i'd book now though if i were you hunt, 'cos there is about a year/year&half waiting list !!!!
p.s i'd be suprised if clarkson was actually doing half of the driving that was shown !

PLEASE,

For those fortunate enough to have top gear on their local programming ... and or to catch the episode with the m400 ... PLEASE PLEASE ... find some way to get the episode on the internet if you can ... so others can download the show.

Otherwise, somebody please tell me where to look for it for download on the net.

My source would have been www.sleepy-fish.com ... but the webmaster seems to have removed all Top Gear, Fifth Gear and miscellaneous videos form the "other cars" section ... and it doesn't look like he plans on updating.

Thanks. I'll be making sure to check back around Dec. 19th ... at latest.

Peace ... to my fellows enthused.

Had my new M400 for 7 weeks now. Few small issues being sorted out by dealer. Not found anything that can run with it yet (including bikes). Thumbs up for Lee Noble and the guys for a great product.

Welcome Cornel, are there many M400s in SA (excluding the one's in the factory, of course!)?
