Silverstone Supercar Showdown 6th May 2006

[Jay (Team Cannonball)]

Well I was watching 5th Gear and the bloke who does the 61 step £5000 carwash using the wax from some wild animals testicles that costs a fortune for a tub already has two owners of Veyrons signed up to his service.
In the feature he was washing a Massy MC12.

£5000 for a car wash   

What does he use as a chammy - the downy buttock skin of a Tahitian virgin?

[Steve Pyro]

With this style of car wash, at least you never miss a bit

' That will be the Keith Moon car wash'

How many even know what one looks like? Not me.

this is one;-

[Steve Pyro]

Since Clarkson drove one from Italy, through the Alps, Switzerland, France to the Nat West tower, against Captain Slow in a plane, last series, I've been putting my spare paper round money in a tin under the bed for one.

I may have a bit of a wait though

I may have a bit of a wait though 

Might need a higher bed too!

Ugly as a box of frogs but an engineering masterpiece.

Agreed Mr Brown ugly as a box of ugly frogs plus more radiators than the average smi-detached, bloody stupid car, but pleased they built it tho.

Intresting, my father has done the same(ish, started a little east of Clarkson) as Top Gear and was only one and a half hours slower, in a Pug 806.......................

[Lorry]

An hour and a half slower?  He must have stopped, as its all down to the speed limits or rather ignoring them.

When asked "How fast does it go mister" you have to answer "well I've had it up to 70 a lot" and have you found a road clear enough to go any faster?

I thought Randy was refering to the prevoius statement (below)

For your info,

Advance tickets are available for £20 from the Silverstone ticket line. The first 500 advance tickets get a free pit walkabout pass. Mine arrived this morning and I had no. 414.

I spoke to Whittlebury park on the phone and a pitch costs £20 for the 6th. Note that they don't take bookings over the phone and will only post you a booking form out, so if you want a guaranteed pitch you should get a move on.
