Noble M600, Mustang 45th Anniversary, US Top Gear - 05/16/2008

yea that is the old El Toro Base but their turning in to a housing and park area for  the city if they ever finish 

they also have a great balloon ride there 

Yea ... checked google map. Thats definitely El Toro Marine Corps Air Base.

That track is an old base in Irvine, CA. Man I can't believe I spotted that from a satellite image ... I should work for the CIA. 

Alex sounds like she's just reading. doesn't care about the machinery 

ok heres the deal i am one of the people that jokes about DD but you know what he is a good host, if you diss him over bad jokes, remember that he reads them from a telepropter, so the jokes are writen by the writers of FLD. and while Alex is hot, and i really dont mind having her around every once in a while, DD might be a more of a car guy and might just be more experienced and may know more about cars than Alex.

Man--this chick blows. Why does Alex move like she's got ants up her pants?????

Alex is the prettiest, and she's a great host... Someone put her in a movie or something!

I told you guys. Keep the girls, Get rid of the horrible comedian/host Derek D -- Lookit your comments, get real. 

Alex!!!

Noble looks cool, 45 years of mustang with only like 4 being cool.

US Top Gear needs Leno.  Motorweek is like Fifth Gear, without the ambiguously gay dude.  IOW, Motorweek has alot of facts, but bores the life out of you.  

Time will tell ...

  New Mustang not very convincing piece of machinery, Dodge Challenger and up-coming Chevrolet Camaro way better in character and presence.
  Would love to see an in-depth comparo test with all this nex-gen reborn musclecars.
  

And...umm...why are you using your Garage419 piece as a promo ad for FLD??? haha, no matter...its all in the family I guess...but G419 should get a little shout out on that.

With that paint job, the Noble kinda looks like the long-lost cousin of Matt Farah's new "Art Mini" as seen on G419.

Also, isnt Ford jumping the gun 5 years early by releasing a "45th Anniversary" edition? haha

@TXMike: I'll bet if they were doing a 30-minute documentary on the Yamaha V8, instead of a 20-second segment they'd have gotten around to all that. But thanks for the Comic Book Guy impersonation. Anyway, the V8 SHO never lived up to its potential.

haha was DD to afraid to go on today?

ummm i dont like the idea of US Top Gear it will scuk, we as car people will watch it but it wont be the same as british Top Gear

you people hate on DD so much, honestly get off his dick, ur just jealous...Alex good job today, ur a Hottie McMuffin with cheese...
and who cares about a US Top Gear, what's the point, they have it already, how about making a Fast Lane Daily version on TV! now thats an idea my friends...

Uh, that "Volvo" sourced V8 is actually an engine designed in collaboration between Ford and Yamaha (mainly Yamaha) and was first used in the '96 to '99 Taurus SHO. The Ford-Yamaha engine development partnership started with the first Taurus SHO's V6.

That Yamaha V8 is bad ass!

Gazela is so hot. I mean Jessica Alba hot.

US Top Gear is totally going to suck but I'll watch it anyway. The test track seems appropriate since most Americans only care about straight line speed.

I don't think I'm alone on this one..but I really hate the Ford Buttstang.  Every arsehole I know has one.  Maybe they are compensating for something else...?

I hope Top Gear gets picked up for the US.  Motorweek is the best car news TV show on right now.  Does anyone know of another TV show in the US that tests cars and reports the latest in car news?

Alex... don't mind these cheese brains, your my favorite host, DD tries too hard to dress like you...

Derek who?  Keep Alex.

First!
No comenter of the week today?? Hey guys it's friday!!!
