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

The final story was brilliant. Kind of puts your own life's problems in perspective doesn't it?

 

Yes, it sure does! Even though we're coping with some major issues here (Won't go into too much detail, except to say my other half has "it" The big C.)

 

Loved the Lambo too, though I do get what they were saying, up to a point!

Yesterday while arsing around on the computer I stumbled across some footage of Clarkson dropping a skip on a very nice late-model injected Biturbo, then later I saw (again) Stewart Lee's impossibly perfect stand-up piece about TG, both of which made me feel better about my at first glance unjustified inner phenomena of pure slow-burning hatred for the show.

And Clarkson was wearing that same scruffy outfit on Have I Got News For You

 

Would any other clown be the same without his red nose and big shoes?

I can't stand Stewart Lee, but that was 50 times better than Top Gear!

Actor Rowan Atkinson is in a stable condition after he crashed his McLaren F1 super car which caught fire

 

 

Crews brought the fire under control by 8.13pm

That's twice he's binned (Beaned?) it. I believe he rear-ended a Mini or Metro last time. That said, it was lashing down yesterday. 600 odd horses and no driver aids. Maybe it just bit him.

Only a few weeks ago, when he clocked up the fastest guest star lap on the BBC Top Gear programme, he staunchly defended the McLaren to a presenter Jeremy Clarkson.

 

"You've got to live with it. I have lived with it for 14 years, I've done a lot of miles in it, I've done 37,000 miles – which for a McLaren is a lot," said Atkinson.

Spooky.

Anyone been watching American Top Gear on BBC3?

Its actually quite refreshing to watch since the UK one seems to be out of ideas. Seems a bit more 'factual' too.

[55bloke]

I watched one episode, and gave up!! The exact same format but with poor US presenters just didn't seem to work.

Of note Topgear appears to be returning... looks to involve classic topgear antics but it also seems to involve a blower bentley and something else equally old which should make one of their few decent features of the series.

The question you need to be asking yourself is whether they'll be moving on to Itals when the Marina supply dries up.

The Australian TG cubed a nice looking Allegro, TR7 and Ital. Wasn't even done in an 'entertaining' way. Just HUURRR THEY R SHIT LOL. Pissed me off a bit.

....what made it worse is that they then jumped into a load of "much better" 60s sports cars including an MGB and spent ages raving about them.

 

As for the precious Itals being trashed, I'm sure it'll come with time they are preoccupied with the few remaining marinas ATM though.

The first series of the US Top Gear was effin awful but the 2nd series, which they're playing just now on Friday nights is much better. Aye, it's all setup but they seem to have a decent budget for it and the presenters seem to actually like cars. I just watched them race a rally fighter 4x4 car thingy against an 800bhp airboat driven by a complete lunatic in the southern swamps, which was quite entertaining,

 

Here it is here in fact.
