I actually thought she beat him considering she did such a good time. That would have been quite embarrassing for Tom. _________________ 1980 Turbo

TME:
Download them from Finalgear.com and you'll see the entire episode, versus the cut-down version played on BBCA.
You'll need a bittorrent client (free, just download and install)
Casttv.com also has some full episodes online as well.
To play the files on your TV, just determine the type of inputs your TV has and what output your PC has. Many video cards has S-video output (which is good enough for the Standard Definition files that TG is filmed in) setup the PC/Laptop next to the TV, connect them and play the file. _________________ Stefan

Did I miss something somewhere?
I thought she did a great time in what was released... however the way Cruise was driving and to beat her by a whole second... I didn't think he was as quick. _________________ 1980 Turbo

That should have read I wish she had beat him.
I too think she looked better. _________________ Rick

I love that story. Not only is it one of the best examples of them cocking about with each other, it is the reason I decided to buy a 924. Until, then I never had a handle on the different FMR models and didn't know a 924 was even affordable (compared to a 911).
