Space Shuttle Part 2

The rocket was absolutely awesome , the take-off is amazing .
The robin reliant was meant to detach but it doesnt quite go to plan.

There is something wrong with the first one. it cuts out at about 1 min or so but the video was 9 mins long according to the bar at the bottom. Is this just my machine or is this a general fault. The second one works fine however

i like the bit where james goes "Ther launch site is a top secret military site"

Then the site is written on the screen. Well timed humour there.

And james mays metal detector was awful, probably was from argos!!!

It wasn't written on the screen, it was explained. It was purpose...

And it was from Argos.

it was written on the screen after james said "secret nuclear site"

Oh, yea, but it was on purpose, wasn't that funny... Explained on screen.

It has nothing to do with 'well timed humour', well timed humour isn't done on purpose..

Awesome. Top Gear is the one of the best programs I watch. Those are extremely funny presenters

**TheAtheist** · 02-25-2007, 02:10 PM

Tonights episode was rather funny as well. They had to make petrol and test tractors. Hammond had to refuel and it cost him £1127 becuase his tractor was huge. These big TG stunts are so much fun to watch.
