Top Gear in DC

bimmernupe · 09-16-2010, 04:51 PM

At around 2:30 I saw Clarkson, May and Hammond on 395 North filming. They were in a MB AMG SLS, a Porsche GT3RS and a Ferrari trailing a SUV with film crew inside. Had I not been rushing to get to an errand I would have followed them

Dude, I swear this is true. If the shitty iPhone camera could have gotten a good pic I would have posted it. No bullshit they were passing the mixing bowl going up 395 N

vlm7 · 09-16-2010, 08:27 PM

Their 3 cars would fit right in at C&C. I'm going to do what I can to be there this Sat.

BMWPower06 · 09-16-2010, 11:13 PM

I would've totally followed them to be on TV around the world

Eric the Ricer · 09-17-2010, 02:44 AM

Sick. Highly doubt they'll come to C&C though

Hahaha just harass/follow them for miles until they get pissed at you. It would be awesome... who knows, maybe they'd show you just how slow that M5 is compared to their cars lol

Just curious: Were there police escorts for their group? Were they driving fast? Were they taking up a lot of space with their crew? I can't imagine filming this kind of show on 395 with all the traffic without organized help from the local authorities.

py335 · 09-17-2010, 10:09 AM

thats awesome!!!

Alpine335TT · 09-17-2010, 10:13 AM
