Great video. An hour long, but good. Biathalons with SUVs and the like

Thanks Nick!

Rifles?

The Bobsled vs. the EVO rally car was awsome!

Dean · 2006-02-19, 01:04 PM

That was exceptional. I watched it with the sounds of Daytona in the background. Far more interesting than NASCAR.

Nick Koan · 2006-02-19, 01:22 PM

I really liked the Jag vs. speed skater. And the rocket powered mini ski jumping contest

SlickNick112 · 2006-02-19, 02:06 PM

They were talking ROCKET SCIENCE for a MINI!! That was hilarious.

Kevin M · 2006-02-19, 04:10 PM

The car would have flown way farther without the rooftop rockets forcing it back down.

SlickNick112 · 2006-02-19, 04:37 PM

I agree with the host, That isn't nearly enough rocket power!!!

Ezdno · 2006-02-19, 09:43 PM

That kicked ass, the soccer game would be so fun....and that evo hauled balls

MattR · 2006-02-19, 11:07 PM

Finally watched it...What a great episode. That truly is one of the most entertaining shows ever produced.

I love that there were at least 4 fits of uncontrollable laughter from Jeremy...They had to have had a blast filming that.

I know, I was thinking the same thing. I want to know what I need to do to be able to race expensive Jags on frozen lakes for a living.

MattR · 2006-02-19, 11:17 PM

Sell Rocks? I don't know.

Honestly, I don't think I could think of a better way to spend day, than bombing around on a frozen lake in a car..

Was the Jag on snow tires at least? I couldn't tell for sure.

SlickNick112 · 2006-02-19, 11:20 PM

I think they said it was on studs..........not sure though. Tons-O-Fun!!!

MattR · 2006-02-19, 11:23 PM

No, the Evo was on studs, the Jag definately was not. I think only studs would have helped it on that ice though.

Dean · 2006-02-20, 12:52 AM

The Evo was on WRC SPIKES... The Jag was at least on snows, and possibly studs. I don't think we would see nearly the amount of flying snow cone makings with a rubber only interface with the ice.

sperry · 2006-02-20, 01:51 AM

The Jag was on studs in the rear, snows on the front.

I'm not 100% sure, but I thought I saw studs on the rear tires on the close-up shot at the skating rink, and no studs on the fronts on the close-up shot on the lake after Clarkson burried it in the snow.
