Hi has anyone got a copy of the 30second mile drag race that TG did ages ago, or direct me to a site with it on. I've tried the likes of Google video and YouTube

Regards
Iain

I've just uploaded it on Pistonheads TV so should be there soon.

Another one i've looked everywhere to find is when they raced a cerb against a Tornado jet to 150mph.
I've never seen it yet but have heard and read about it.

whilst on the subject of Cerbera and Top Gear races...

I remember a race they did between a modified skyline and a Cerbera.
Anyone else remember this?

Not its(I remember testing this car and it was indecently,staggaringly,face distortingly fast.But nothing prepared me for this,what happened to be just about the cheapest car here turned out to be the fastest.)

It was a 96 car N plate.I heard from some one at Team Central once that it had minor mods but other than that it was standard.

Some of the early cars were 4.5's but were logged as 4.2's. My first Cerb was just such a car. Some also had the Tuscan race cams in there too.
Also there was rumours on here that the one in the 30sec race was also decatted.

It was one of Clarkson's videos,can't remember which.

I think the Skyline won !
