Quadcopter Appears on Top Gear

Posted by S.G. Sutter on February 12, 2011 at 1:30pm

A recent airing of Top Gear on BBC-America had a segment where the hosts presented Christmas Gift Ideas for the Motorist.

Lo and behold, Richard Hammond produces a Quad (the Parrot AR), and pitches the idea of using it as a drone to scout the source of a traffic jam. Things get a bit out of hand when Jeremy Clarkson insists on taking it for a test flight.

The Quad is introduced 4:55 into the video.

If you want to watch Top Gear as is presented in the UK, and released earlier, try this website: http://www.streetfire.net/videos/search.aspx?c=100051.

The new episode comes out Sunday evening. Tonight is season 16 episode 4.

That Pussy energy drink is so hard to come by now. It was on my LAN party shopping list about 2 years ago but the one company that sold it went bust thanks to the world economy. Its actually quite nice too (better than Red Bull).

Love them trying to fight the burning christmas tree with "the special energydrink" :-D
