BMW M3 CSL - Isle of Mann

Jeremy Clarkson drove the BMW M3 CSL at the Isle of Mann.  Why there?  Well, it is a driver's dream - no speed limits outside the towns! 

The BMW M3 CSL is an amazing machine.  It makes a regular M3 look like a Toyota Prius.  Ok, maybe a Toyota Camry. 

• Nothing that adds extra weight-
  • no air conditioning
  • no radio
  • manual windows
  • carbon fibre roof (don't roll over!)
  • cardboard.... yes, cardboard!..... trunk floor.  in other words, groceries shouldn't weigh more than a few pounds
• An engine that squeezes out more horses from the same volume
• Slick summer tires; before you buy the car, you have to sign a waiver saying you understand BMW is not responsible if you drive in rain or snow.  Now that's a race car!

Top Gear VoTW - Porsche Carrera GT

(VoTW, of course, means Video Of The Week)

Jeremy Clarkson drove and reviewed the Porsche Carrera GT.  He was completely floored by it. 

The Stig must have loved it too - at that point, the Porsche GT was the fastest car around the Top Gear track.

I wish I had Jeremy's job.
