James Mays Cars of the People

[Pete-M]

This will be handy for tonight's episode.

[HH-R]

There also the annoyance of when a Marina or Allegro gets destroyed because they trot out the same old shitty jokes they have for 30 years, LOL THESE WERE SO CRAP SO WE'RE GONNA SMASH IT!!11111 WURST CAR EVA NOT BMW LOL!

 

Wow, never seen THAT happen before.

[plasticvandan]

As far as I can see it,Mr may is getting paid squillions so that he can continue to buy more old crap motorcycles by presenting this show,a + to counter the -? Also remember this programming is not for us,its for the public,you know the people that have to look at the badge on every car at a steam rally to find out what its is,rather than us telling people what shade of beige it is as its driving through the gates in the distance...

[Guest Facelifted75]

James may is a long haired moany cunt who wears silly shirts and is a piss head. worse than Clarkson and thats saying something. Maybe he will be will be arrested next for kiddy fiddling.

[Pete-M]

I do hope not. May seems to be a decent chap. 

Anyway, 3 hours or so to the next moan fest on all the forums about whatever he features tonight having an incorrect for the year keyfob or him hopefully destroying some old BL tat just for the sake of it. I'm praying it's a Rover 800 fastback. 820e in Pogweasel Pink with a brown interior and lifting dash top.

[Cavcraft]

Or 5 seconds until (one of) the TG FAN BOIS/Clarkson wannabes gets defensive about it. 

[Lacquer Peel]

I thought it was a bit lame, nothing that hasn't been covered elsewhere a thousand times over.

[Shep Shepherd]

Just watched the programme on the BBC iPlayer. I didn't learn anything new from it, but it was a fair way to while away an hour on a Sunday evening.

You are either Richard Porter or Jeremy Clarkson AICMFP.

[drum]

Dodgy phacts and questionable humour never stopped us logging on here.

 

I must be a member of the public 'cause I nearly enjoyed it despite it smelling of Clarkson.

[messerschmitt owner]

I had the opportunity to buy a maroon Mazda 360 about twenty years ago. Nearest I got was the bandai tinplate one.

[forddeliveryboy]

PeteM, Corsaviuor, I've no problem with vehicles being scrapped, whether Ford Cortinas, Lada 124s or wott-eva. My only beef is the way in which TG at times do this, totally without reason, which plays to the lowlife who make vandalism - of other people's property - a pastime. There is none round here, cause human beans are less numerous than 'wild' animals and farmed stock, but it would really get on my tits if I had to lock up my cars, my workshops and so on - simply because enough lads with no focus in life thought it was socially acceptable.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

If some nobhead is going around vandalising cars in the street its a bit of a stretch to connect that with flipping Clarkson surely!!!!!

[forddeliveryboy]

All part of the throw-away culture we're in - once something is old enough, it's assumed to be worthless. Totally the opposite not so long ago, when people knew the value of things, not just the ebay price.

 

I saw vandalism first-hand from a mate years ago - we stopped to look at a 99 Combi in a ditch, then when we'd seen there were no bodies needing rescuing, mate kicked in the rear wing panel, for no reason other than, "it's old and worthless and in a ditch". He was the last person I'd expected to do this, yet he considered it justifiable.

[KruJoe]

I really want a Mazda 360 now .

Me too. And a M'schmit Tiger, and one of those horrible green French sans-permit things.

[dugong]

Unfortunately not. I know of a car club that had to take its contact numbers down because people were ringing up with abuse. Several members' cars also got vandalised.

 

It doesn't take Poirot to work out which club I'm talking about, either. We all have differing opinions on what makes a worthy classic, but when it descends into outright abuse things have gone too far.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Are we saying that all vandalism of recent times is at least VERY SLIGHTLY top gears fault?? Come on.

Plastic Pig tipper. Nailed on!

[Cavcraft]

TG and it's associated presenters are tiresome, but to suggest they are responsible for vandalism is madness.

 

I can see how it might lead to some of its apologists buying cars to destroy themselves in 'funny' ways, or try and emulate the presenters on Internet forums, but no way are they to blame for vandalism.

[Micrashed]

Fuxake.

 

A are now the highest bidder on a Plack-90 after watching that program.

 

Its all TG's fault - teh Clarkson made me do it.

[barefoot]

I didn't see it because my fucking telly's gone mental.

For the last couple of weeks I've been coming home to find it's switched itself on and then 

yesterday whilst watching 'Midsomer Murders' with a big glass of wine, it switched itself off!

& off again & again & again, so I taped the knob in & then it turned the volume down repeatedly.

 

Do you think this will be an easy fix?

[garbaldy]

^ no drop a piano on it.

In the olden days the TV man would come and fix it but these new style TV's are quite expensive to put right,  I think.

 

Unless its some super dooper 150 inch thingy you might aswell look out for a decent 2nd had one, plenty about as people want a new latest TV every 2 years now.

It would obviously be ridiculous to blame car vandalism in general on TG - however, it is certainly the case that there were at least a couple of three-wheeler Reliants tipped over in hilarious* fashion by vandals in the days following a particular episode. So it is capable of providing inspiration.

[messerschmitt owner]

my last two tellys cost £0.99 and £5 - the £5 included the purchase receipt for £2,000 with the manual.

 

No way do you need to spend any real money on TVs.

[HillmanImp]

The 7th of July bombings occurred on the same day that Justin Hawkins appeared as the star in the a reasonably priced car on Top Gear. 

 

The financial crisis of 2008 occurred shortly after Justin Lee Collins appeared as the star in a reasonably priced car on Top Gear. This episode also featured a world record jumping attempt using an Austin Allegro driving in reverse. 

 

Justin Hawkins famously sang a song about having genital warts. Justin Lee Collins is about as funny as genital warts. An Austin Allegro is as likely to get you laid as having genital warts. 

 

The best selling genital wart treatment in the UK is Buzuka. Jeremy Clarkson once fired a Bazuka at a Ford Granada in one of his tiresome Christmas DVDs. In the same episode he fired a shotgun at an Austin Metro. 

 

Austin is also a place in Texas, near AREA 51, the US military facility believed to hold evidence of humanities contact with extra terrestrial life.

 

Jeremy Clarkson famously stated that he was an alien when driving an Ariel Atom. 

 

The Ariel Atom has an exoskeletal chassis. The Alien in the film of the same name also had an exoskeleton. That film starred John Hurt. John Hurt played War Doctor in 'Name of the Doctor'. Christopher Eccleston also played Dr Who and was 12.4 seconds slower round the Top Gear test track than Justin Hawkins. 

 

The numbers 124 correspond to a bus route, you guessed it IN LONDON, WHERE THE 7/7 BOMBINGS TOOK PLACE!

 

All this does is fuel the speculation that the Top gear Crew are Aliens who were responsible for the London Bombings of 2005, Financial Crisis of 2008 and genital warts. Who knows what other travesties they are responsible for. People who have got close have disappeared without trace. When did you last see Justin Lee Collins?

 

Unless you thinks its still all a coincidence? 

 

 

[Wilko220]

I last saw Justin Lee Collins outside Greggs at lunchtime when he was appearing on wife-beating charges at my local crown court.

 

Well, you asked.

[messerschmitt owner]

Owning a Visa 10e has gone to your head!

[dugong]

No, not in all cases b0l, that would be daft. I don't plughole that often. 

 

In the case of this specific club, the programme was directly responsible. I have it on tape and everything (the conversation rather than TG).

My Grandad had his Reliant Robin tipped on it's side by twats. That was in 1982 so it isn't really a modern phenomenon...
