I believe it was a similar themed feature when that gurning cretin took a baseball bat to an Allegro estate. Let’s hope the Neanderthals have evolved a bit in the meantime.

[stuboy]

Dressed as a shiter..

[HMC]

So the run down........

MK1 fiesta

mk4 cortina 

bmw 3 series e21

 

[pilninggas]

I hope they dont trash the Dagenham Dustbins or the BM

[HMC]

It seems quite reverential so far. It would go against the grain of the tone so far if they modded them and then ejected them into a quarry. But it wouldn’t surprise me.

[hairnet]

owned or been in all 3

mmm tina (3 and 4)

 

 

[bunglebus]

Funny enough a MK4 Cortina is what my dad had until I was about 12

[sutty2006]

That haircut makes him look like he’s from a 90s boy band.

Almost! 

[skoda_fan]

Ok. So how long after I got bored and gave up did the three cars get inevitably trashed for laughs?

They all survived intact! I really enjoyed that episode, and love the 323i! 

[Cento16v]

Chris Harris bought the 323i 😎

[omegod]

Really enjoyed that and had a lump in my throat at some points 

[outlaw118]

Both the Fords are MoT'd and registered as white, the Beemer's MoT ran out in December.

 

And apparetnly I'm sad for looking that up. WOTEVS

Used to look like this when it appeared at the car cave.

 

[outlaw118]

Looked better then TBH

[bunglebus]

Just watching on iplayer. I wouldn't kick any of them out of bed, but as my dad had a T-reg Jupiter red MK4 with a black vinyl roof...that one.

[sutty2006]

I was unfortunately listening to Radio 1 yesterday morning (not my choice, we have a couple dumb guys at work) and a caller (snowflake) rang in complaining of Flintoffs comment he made about Radio 1..... “makes my ears bleed that does” 

 

Well said Freddie. Well said. 

[Wack]

When I was a kid my dad had a market stall in Cambridge,  in the holidays I used to go with him in the VW van 

We'd listen to radio 2 all the way but , at a set time , 7am or 8am radio 2 would turn into radio 1 , sometimes it was a whole 10 minutes of decent music before he noticed and re-tuned it

I never got to pick the station 

I occasionally listen to radio 1 to see if it's still as bad , awful , like music is just about the beat.

Thankfully technology means I rarely listen to the radio , I like Ken Bruce but the music is still awful for the most part , here the new one from Cliff /bonnie tyler/ some other 70s old fart 

FFS there are thousands of really talented musicians who deserve it more than most of their playlist , give some of them a chance

A new series of Top Gear airing on Mothers Day... went down very well in our house.

[clayts450]

This just popped up on Facebook

He did seem genuinely quite emotional about it. In fact, they all did - all very contemplative, even McGuinness.

Bloody good show that one, no daftness, no cars damaged, pure nostalgia.

This week's should be good too - James Bond's motors

Must admit did have a laugh when I saw this.

Thought it was really good. No damage to cars, just an enjoyable hour. Looking forward to next week.

[HMC]

James Bond cars this week. Presumably not a Renault 11

[HMC]

No Renault 11, lada, volgae, 2cv, pug 504 , etc
