Dare I mention....Top Gear....?

[Betaphile]

It is also believed by many Atheists that god is proven to not exist, by the fact that Tom Cruise is somehow allowed to continue living. They are correct.

 

Not necessarily, it might be He's just not that keen for Mr Cruise to join Him...

I always found it a little disturbing how much I fancied the blonde...(she looked better in Marilyn Manson's Tainted Love video...)

She was a Playboy Playmate circa 1997, and I believe she did a follow up 'spread' more recently .

[retrogeezer]

Also, I used to really like 'My name is Earl' but it was tarnished for me when I found out both Jason Lee & Ethan Suplee are Scientologists...

Hmm....didn't know that either and that does kinda spoil it a bit..

 

Always preferred Catalina myself anyway...

 

[barrett]

Yer that Nadine Valasquez bird is a right looker. It's not only the actors that a scientologists, the writers/producers ect are almost all mindless tossers too, and the whole premise of the show, whilst dressed up as a kind of 'buddist' karmic retribution thing, is actually a main ideal of scientology whereby you make up for all the wrongs you have done in your life..... but I dont watch it because I dont think it's very good.

 

sorry, I know this is a car forum. here, I hope this makes up for it:

why would you change A9 ODO to A90 DO???

Just read on facebook that this weeks episode will be the last of the season? Seems a bit soon.

[morris_ital_lover]

Yeah they are now down to 6 episode bursts but they should be back in the winter!

I've been saving that DHC Muntego pic for a special occasion, I hope you all appreciate it!

That'll learn me to click through without thinking. I am now mentally scarred.

Say on my freeview listing it is episode 6/7...

[trigger]

The challenge seems good so far, the number plate anagrams made me laugh on Clarksons Jensen, nice to see the 205 XLD go through it's paces, just hope that they don't end up destroying any of them

[RedSparrow]

Exactly what I was thinking, great so far, hope they don't trash that lovely Jensen...

[pogweasel]

I R LOL

[RedSparrow]

That was the best episode I have seen for ages!

Funny and a bit sentimental.

[wuvvum]

Indeed. A great end to the series - less depressing than the Aston "end of an era" film they ended with last time.

[trigger]

I don't know, I nearly started crying!

 

I wonder what the story was with the old Volvo's now in the TVR factory?.

[wuvvum]

I don't know, I nearly started crying!

Yeah, it was sad, but it wasn't really doom-and-gloom like the last one. It was looking back on how good things used to be, rather than banging on about how shit they're going to be in the future.

[Wight Shite]

Am I the only one who thinks it's a bit rich of Clarkson, a right wing Tory boy and Thatcherite, to be lamenting the demise of the British manufacturing industries?

[pogweasel]

I think that beyond all the obvious right-winged-ness JC really does have a passion for the glory days of British Industry. Sure the BL-era provides endless fun-poking, but see him wrap on about concorde [et al] and the real enthusiast does come out.

[Pete-M]

Am I the only one who thinks it's a bit rich of Clarkson, a right wing Tory boy and Thatcherite, to be lamenting the demise of the British manufacturing industries?

Probably. I miss the British Manufacturing Industries, but I blame the unions and lazy people for screwing it up, not the people who ended up trying to do something about it.

 

The likes of Derek Robinson did far more damage to British Industry than anyone else.

[Alexg]

Loved the episode. But it made me sad...

[trigger]

I got a bit excited when the RS Turbo/XR3i came out of the car wash and i saw it had Jayar Componments on the number plate, I used to work for them!

[seth]

It looked like Hammond made a bee-line to look at that PV Volvo

[ashmicro]

I think May was genuinely pissed of when he saw all that stuff lying around at TVR. I certainly was.

[cms206]

Was working when it was on, but I did get a rather excited text from a mate who suffered a major trouser explosion at the 205GRD... he apparantly fancies it in his K-reg 205 1.1 Zest now!

[Milford Cubicle]

Top Gear does urbex.

The 205 GRD sounded really healthy, I want one.

It's a shame they had to destroy what looked like a tidy and early AX GT.

[dollywobbler]

Only caught the last half hour. Seemed good fun and it's great that they're getting all factual. Not really fair to say that we build nothing now though, especially after the Beeb did an excellent programme behind the scenes at Rolls-Royce (aero) recently, proving that we do still actually build some amazing things.

 

Interesting thought about hot hatches killing the British sports car. I do now really, really want a TVR S-Series (and still emphatically do not want a Lotus Elan FWD - drove one a while back and it was truly awful).

[Pete-M]

I drove a FWD Elan SE about 10 years ago. First impressions were of spectacular blandness combined with Vauxhall switchgear. I wasn't impressed.

However, I borrowed it for a few days, took it to North Wales and gave it a bit of stick and slowly realised that it was bloody quick and handled as well as a Lotus should, but there was no drama or fuss about the way it went about things.

 

I thought it'd be a good car for a fast B road commute.

[retrogeezer]

I still don't get it......A90 DO is nothing like agadoo. A 9ODO (A Dodo) would be better.
