why is clarkson in a hurry and didnt he get off the loco?

[roadkill1991]

He did get off the loco, and he was in a hurry because it was at the end of a TG race, and he was trying to win.

[MissHarpoMarx]

But the jag is there isnt it? The white car is the jag. James may won! Possibly! WOW! captain slow! ok..sorry im a bit hyper. lol

[1993andy2007]

awesome stuff! 5*

[tfftfftff86]

I think the white car is in fact the same one that another YouTuber filmed in London. No doubt there'll be some bragging about that on the show, but I say - if Tornado could take 600 people to Edinburgh by half past three in the afternoon, how long would it take a two-seater Jag to do that?

[rich88b]

James May arrived in the white car because I saw him get out of it and go into the Balmoral Hotel last Saturday!!!!!

[roadkill1991]

And the TG Touareg was parked in front of it, with one of the guys taking the cameras out of the car.

[34002salisbury]

it looks like he won cus the white ar isn;t a jag

[roadkill1991]

It's an XK120

[hellonpluto]

awesome footage!! well done

[roadkill1991]

Thanks :)

Bust my buffers! Top Gear with Britain's brand new steam locomotive, Tornado! Even though this is footage from a member of public, Top Gear on Tornado must be an episode for the upcoming new series of Top Gear.

[roadkill1991]

I'm sure they won't, it'd cost them a lot of money. And there's the entertainment value of it, too :)

[roadkill1991]

There was footage of the Alfa challenge a couple of series' back up on youtube months beforehand, and that got broadcast anyway, so I'm not too worried about it :)

[AndyGautrey]

So the BBC have spent tens of thousands chartering a train, plus a full day's production costs, helicopters, and overnight expenses, and are going to write the project off because we all know the car won....?

The media reported what happened to Hammond in the Jet Dragster and they used the publicity to good effect, and the show is sold to dozens of countries worldwide plus endless repeats on BBC3 and Dave, despite the outcome of all the challenges being known.

[jamielw143]

I didn't say they were definatly going to, just quite a few people where saying they are considering it, i mean it was fairly obvious the car would win being top gear

[roadkill1991]

It was just a rumour, it might've been possible.

It was only a rumour at first that Clarkson was on the train, and that turned out to be true.

[Semifastslim]

Jezza looks shagged out ! Those steps are a bit of a pain ! Still the decent pub is over the road !

[scottishrailways]

good catch mate!:D

[Serkanner]

Jeez. The Tornado is there yet you decide to follow Clarkson. Get your priorities right kiddo.

[roadkill1991]

I went back to see Tornado afterwards, and filmed it being dragged back out.

But tbh, kettles don't really interest me that much. Much prefer a diesel or electric :P

[ashbytimuk]

"kettles don't really interest me that much. Much prefer a diesel or electric " !!!!

I can't believe you REALLY mean that. Do you? ;-)

[roadkill1991]

Very much so :P

Especially the noises some of the big diesels make.

I'd like to see you find a kettle that sounds better than a Paxman Valenta 12RP200L at full throttle, or the 16RK3CT in a 56 or 12RK3ACT in a 58.

[mrgirder]

win. i was there but managed to miss all that.
