Hi

I know the videos are old news but everytime someone sees my vRS they talk about how it beat the Cooper on the Top Gear test (Clarkson in the vRS and the other guy in the MC). I've never seen it and can't seem to find any where to buy/download it from.

Any ideas where I can download it from? I would prefer the entire episode but just a clip would be fine. Also happy to buy it on DVD if it's out??

Also is there another video done by 5th gear with Tiff as well??

Cheers All

Steven

It was on UKPeople channel on Sky on Monday I have a 25meg AVI of it that I can make available for you if you want.........

I'll have a look for the 5th Gear one....

Could I have that one too - please !!

STvP....tis very tru...the vRS screws the Cooper on the track...not surprising though....I mean ok...130bhp vs 115bhp..nothing much at all...1315 kilos vs 1050 kilos...quite a big difference...but then 300Nm vs 150Nm takes over...out of that turn the vRS just absolutely takes off it was fantastic to watch...

I look forward to watching it. I've just read about it on the mini2.com forum. Their responses were quite amusing e.g. "yeah but it's still a Skoda" !

End it with..'yeah...it is stil a Skoda alright...but it kicks a Mini's ***...'

I've been looking for this everywhere too. It's becoming quite annoying. Typical the only Top Gear I manage to miss of the series was the one with my car in!

I know it's been done to death but it seriously irked mini owners.....chill,it was only a race :orb_loser :orb_rocki

Compliments of Chris I've just seen them

The 5th gear one is okay but the Top Gear one is hilarious

Ditto!

if anyone wants me to host them i can

Just went over to one of the mini forums to see what they were all saying and they really are a sour bunch aren't they?

My favourite comments form the arguments

"Yeah but it's a Skoda" - and the point being?

"My mini is a lifestyle choice" what are you a hairdresser?

I have to say I quite like the look of the mini and considered going for one instead of a Fabia but for me and this is no insult at any male mini owners ..... it's a bit of a girly car really

The mini is bad, the fabia is best, hahahaha

Please do I'm keen to see this one

The Mini is a good-looking car, which I still find it hard to say about the Fabia. However look at it this way - Mini owners will go on to be 3-series owners and then 5-series owners before possibly becoming Merc owners in later life. They just learn the mentality young, that's all.

I like the Mini and have been out in a couple. The biggest let downs, imho, are the engines which are pokey, but don't do the superbly balanced chassis and strong brakes justice, and the prices (especially when you start adding options). :(

Plus people assume you are Gay if you drive a Mini, which isn't always true! i know someone with a new Mini who isn't Gay (But he soon will be if he doesn't buy something less Homo errotic)

The Mini looks good, but most blokes look gay driving them. The Fabia vRS is so ugly its beautiful IMHO

The perfect quote

I know someone who has it on DVD. I could rip that part of the DVD and host somewhere. Can't remember if it's 5th gear or top gear though :confused: It was a compilation of most popular hot cars. Actually, come to think of it, it was Anglesey so whoever it is who uses that track (I can never remember which one it is!)

Fifth Gear.

It will be 'Head on hot sallons and hatchbacks' on Duke DVD in which Robbie head and a bunch of of other chaps test 12 sport saloons, they are all impressed by the Fabia.

Has there ever been a better summing up than this? Spot on.
