'Top Gear' (Sunday 26th December)

<< < (2/3) > >>

SteveH:
I got fed up enough to email top gear the other day, keep banging on about no diesel being cool, despite having a 110 on the sub zero section ;)

V8MoneyPit:
:shock: You must have reached the depths of boredom, Steve!  :lol:

SteveH:
Yup, was about 3 in the morning and I could not sleep in a vague kinda defence :)

Dirty Gertie:
That G-wagon looked to me like a 70 grand defender looky-likeee!! I was amused that it was being driven around what appeared to be a flat track with puddles, no gradients, no axle-twisters, a 70k car that can drive through puddles; whoop-de-doo =D>:roll:  

That Atom looked fun tho (and made JC even UGLIER than usual!! :lol: )

Just to be different, I'm going to opine that I think Top Gear is quite crap now.  It seems that all they do is try to be politically incorrect, not for any great reason apart from that they think it sounds cool...  For example, their diesel bashing.  There's nowt wrong with diesels any more but Top Gear thinks that it's more entertaining to constantly moan about them than to concede they might have some merit!

The Stig stuff on the track is vaguely entertaining, apart from that I can never really work out what order everything comes in, because they don't give you a chance to look at the whole leaderboard.

So basically I'd say Top Gear is outdated, past it, unable to keep up with the times, a struggling vehicle for Clarkson's ego which in turn serves only to prop up his pension fund...  It's rapidly becoming the Bernard Manning of motoring journalism :)

 :wink:
