Anyone Seen This Top Gear Episode Yet?

Has anyone seen this episode of Top Gear yet? Looks like it might be a good one.

Quoted off that article:
But, hey, the 350Z is called 'Fairlady Z' in Japan. How uncool's that?

Ugh.. how uncool is the author of this article.

Re: Anyone Seen This Top Gear Episode Yet?

There is a video of the Z that this host trashed. Possibly in jest-- I'm not sure.
Anyway here's a link to that thread:

https://g35driver.com/forums/showfla...&sb=5&part=all

Looks to me to be the same bloke referred to in this thread as in that one.
I can't say I like the guy, and I certainly don't agree with his views, but he seems marginally more inpressed with the Skyline 350GT than he was with the 350Z.

SirMikeLee, The article explained that the car had a few mods to bump the stock 280 to about 300hp.(ECU, intake and exhaust)

Re: Anyone Seen This Top Gear Episode Yet?

No video as of yet, but I suspect there will be one in the near future if we pay attention to the posts on the various G35 forums. I'm in Colorado, just happened upon the article and thought it was interesting. The guy is definitely a snob in regard to the Z. He apparently doesn’t like Asian cars much. I’m interested to hear how he comes off when the show is aired in the UK. The article makes it sound like he was out looking for street races all night. If so, I hope he had a film crew with him.
