I think that would have been combined with the studio filming of a normal TG.

I don't watch much telly but Top Gear is incredibly funny IMHO

I like a laugh, and boy were there lots of them. The show is incredibly well scripted even though it looks the opposite, almost as good as an SE trip to Europe.

and the next person to phone me at 8pm on a Sunday night had better be careful........

2 weeks in a row

Agreed!
I was PMSL all the way through it - especially when the Rednex attacked!

Excellent entertainment..

Am I the only one who, after watching it, wanted to get a CB for the Elise?

It'd be useful for TT?

I remember years ago in Livingston playing Car hide and seek with CB Radios

. You had to find folk by homing in on their signal strength. Yet another gadget I have played with

I have used them in the past when towing to events. Once used them in two motorsport / rally prepped cars on the way to an event. Had almost as much fun on the way to & from the event as we did at the event.

Lots of fun. For safetly purposes of course

TG was absolutely hilarious! Can't believe that sh!t with the rednex.

We got little hand-held radios when we were skiing in France last week and they came in very handy (and were also hilarious when we joined in other people's conversations on other channels!

). Got me thinking that they'd be useful for Elise road runs. The range was quite good if I remember right . . . would be useful for when the pack of cars splits up.

I guess they would probably fall under the same laws as mobiles though . . .

And have you seen how much they cost? Check on Ebay, they are virtualy free. A whole new starter kit fromhere is only 70 quid. Admittedly getting the magnetic aerial base to stick on may be difficult but they do a bee sting aerial, and I never use the radio.

(possible danger of making it look from a distance as if the Elise is radio controlled).

tried them before with Motorola ones between Elises but too hard to make out what people were saying (could be my hearing , or lack of it)

and range was not that great. Have had more success using them on my motorbike intercom system which has connections for these radios, iPods, phones and GPS. Bike to Bike range is up to a couple of miles.
