kruleworld Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Top Gear (UK) is my favourite british car show. i've done a few models of the more interesting cars they've used on the show, the ones from their various challenges. Police Car Challenge Alfa Challenge Limo Challenge Eco Challenge Middle East Challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Lectro Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Nice work on all. I love the Limo and "Geoffrey." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a model of the hilux that will never die in kit form close to same year ? I think there may be . But as the prices hilux command I'd hate to see one beat up. Unless it was built before they messed it up. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I know I have seen some newer ones on evilbay were the sellers were asking well north of $100, I would love to get my hands on one, but not at that price, and like you said, there is no way I would do what they did to the real one to kit a cost that much.

espo Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 These are great builds. Makes you wonder how you could stop laughing after each show long enough to build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTBACK340 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Is there a Oliver in the works? That was going to be my question too!My Wife & myself are hopelessly addicted to TGUK. Great thread and builds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Kortman Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Love em all. TGUK is one of my favorite shows. It is also the only car show that my wife will watch with me. The US version cant hold a candle to the original. Someone told me yesterday that TGUK is one of themost watched TV shows in the world.

FASTBACK340 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I've heard the same. If you search You Tube there's a segment from 60 Minutes where the three of them are interviewed. Something like 35 million viewers. I haven't watched more than 35 minutes of TGUSA..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruleworld Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 That was going to be my question too!My Wife & myself are hopelessly addicted to TGUK. Great thread and builds! sadly there is no model of the 63 opel kadett, except in small scales (ie 1:43 or less). i'd want 1/25. i saw a 1/25 scale Citroen CX the other day (Hmm, jeremy's 'tall van'?)

Jairus Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Nice theme and the cars look great, especially that "Eco Challenge" car. Very funny episode that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruleworld Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 How about a Peel Trident? never seen a trident in the show, perhaps you mean the P50? either way, it's not in one of the challenges. for those who like the Hammerhead Eco car, here's a pic of the interior lots more here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
