[Garry Spice]

what a sunday evening that was....last 2 lap of the gp then top gear!!!! the grannie in the lambo...the lorries...the setting fire to the porches lap times.class

[bigoggy]

just heared on the news 200 people have complained that clarkson said truck drivers are murderers:thumbdown:. hope we dont get loads of complaints from people jumping on the bandwagon like with ross and brand:mad::mad::mad:. i thought the new series was great

[savageman25]

some people just cant take a joke,
lifes a bitch lol
i thought it was brill though

[Fabs]

I thought it was fab.... who binned it on a scooter in Vietnam?

Wasn't me :p

[DCM]

maybe a sneaky trucker got to Jeremy out in Vietnam lol

God, I hate the sticky beaks who take offence at 4 words, that, when taken out of an article, on their own, can look totally offensive, but, when used in conjunction with the whole feature, ended up showing the James, Richard and Jezza, all had a healthy respect for lorry drivers at the end!

[Lee]

If they took Top Gear off air i would stop watching it in a boycott to the BBC :thumbsup:

[bigoggy]

now 500 complaints. they are jumping on the bandwagon fast. there should be a place where you can say you wern't offended. bet that would get more people writing and phoning than are complaining

[rcracer]

gets me why these people watch it in the first place if they are going to take offence :thumbdown: top gear without jezzas wit would be like watching fifthgear :D

[savageman25]

totally agree with you, taking clarkson out of top gear would be like.......
lemon pie but with out the lemon....mmm PIE:drool::drool::drool::drool::woot:

[xjr14]

nice episode!....not one of the very best, but still good!...my favourite episode still is the Africa-Challange one!!! ....I can never get enough of Clarkson`s Porsche disliking comments! :thumbsup:

[terry.sc]

gets me why these people watch it in the first place if they are going to take offence They don't. It's like the Russell Brand/Johnathan Ross complaints, where there were 2 people offended by the radio show then 30,000 Daily Mail readers complain without actually listening to it.

At least Peter Sutcliffe can't make a fortune off the Sun and get lots of free publicity by claiming to be 'embarrassed' and 'victimised'.

[gramey]

:eh?:Judging by most of the comments on here it just goes to show that years of dumbing down have succeeded in reaching the lowest common denominator.
Clarkson has to keep making more and more contentious comments in an attempt to try and get peoples attention and the programme itself has degenerated into nothing more than a boy's jolly.
If the first episode is anything to go by the series is well past it's sell by date. I really couldn't give a XXXX about three crappy trucks being driven round Millbrook test track, ranks right up there with the crap about re-surfacing a road or ploughing a field.
Whatever happened to the likes of the Ford GT, Zonda, F430 road trip, or Sabina Schmit round the Nurburgring, eg. cars?:eh?:

i think that what they were trying to do was make an exciting first episode, but when you say where have the cars gone, dont fear there going on an american muscle road trip thing this sunday:thumbsup:
theyve got the dodge challenger concept:drool::drool::drool::drool:

:)I saw that and I shall be watching, my son wants me to buy a Z06 Corvette (he really wants me to get a ZR-1 but they're just too expensive), reality says when the time comes it'll be a Camaro (new version supposed to be coming over here in RHD) or a Mustang, due to both having four seats.:)

[showtime]

less than 2 hours til the next one Woop Woop :woot:

[savageman25]

muscle cars rule.....apart from the cadilac.

[jono83]

tonights show was awesome yet again

[showtime]

gutted. went round the Mrs' place as she'd cooked me a roast & as she was running late i missed pretty much all of it :cry:

spose i can watch it on the i-player :thumbdown:

[savageman25]

or theres dave in like a years time lol

[gramey]

:)Actually enjoyed tonights show, no stupid car boats, tractors, artic lorries or other nonsense, excellent. To be honest it wasn't the programme that disappointed but the Dodge Challenger, what a damp squid, how do you make 425 bhp so slow. Seems like the looks aren't the only thing about it that's retro.
The yanks used to grossly exaggerate their horse power figures in the late 60's & early 70's, seems they've gone retro with their power claims.
I was surprised that being a 'factual' show they never mentioned fuel consumption for any of the three car's, can't think why?:D

[gramey]

:)Don't knock it, you should hopefully be able to buy it in RHD through a GM dealer, and if your like me and got a wife & 2 kids to lug around the 4 doors could come in handy. Still loving the Corvette though, C5's & 6's look good, sound great and now they can go round corners, ZR1 is the fastest production car round the Nurburgring:D

[cwilson]

i like the cadilac. i'd rather have that than the vette

[showtime]

i'll have to stick with my German V8 for now as rising fuel prices have left me with almost zero residual value :cry:
so unfortunately no trading for some more american muscle for me :rolleyes:

like my old mate Vinny used to say -
"you're no f**ker on the road if you haven't got a V8"

like his style :thumbsup:

[rcluke]

it was brilliant, again

his apology was quality :p:thumbsup:

[bigred5765]

missed it again OMG, what side and time does it repeat.?

[savageman25]

i just tink that there never was a cadialc that was anthing like a muscl car in the 60s and 70s that i liked and i wouldnt of used that as the third, they shoud of used somthing like the new dodge charger or maybe the ford mustang gt 500:thumbsup:

[showtime]

i wouldn't have thought you'd be a fan of Top Gear :confused:




what with their hatred of caravans etc :p

[Northy]

Do you like dags? :confused:

[James]

RX-8 is the answer! :woot: :thumbsup:

[Lee]

i like the cadilac. i'd rather have that than the vette

what !! are you gay :confused:

or just thinking of the towing capabilities :thumbsup:

[cwilson]

1: no im not gay
2: i just think that its a nice car that you could use everyday and then when you in the mood can go like a balistic missle
3: the vette's not a bad car its just id prefer the cadilac

[stegger]

Nothing get's them wet like the vette;):woot::woot: i'd still have the challenger though:thumbsup: it looked cool going around frisco:thumbsup:

[savageman25]

i wouldn't have thought you'd be a fan of Top Gear :confused:




what with their hatred of caravans etc :p
ha. ha. ha.
whens it gonna stop?
im getting a bit bored of this sort of stuff as im the one who always gets portrayed as the one in the wrong:confused::thumbdown:
was pretty funny though:)

[showtime]

you knows i'm only avvin a larf bruvva :woot:

[savageman25]

pikeys dont no how to have a laugh lol:woot::thumbsup:
looks like ill just have to live with my pikey status from now on then lol:D

[cwilson]

Do you like dags? :confused:

G

whats a dag:confused:

no only kidding i know what one is:lol:

[gramey]

RX-8 is the answer! :woot: :thumbsup:

:)I'll give you that it looks nice but it's no muscle car, as our colonial cousins like to say "There ain't no subsitute for cubes". I have to confess though to presently owning a boring Passat estate but I'm counting down the day's to when I retire from my present job, 14 months to go, and my son's going to come and help me choose a car.
I'm hoping the new Camaro will be better than the Challenger as it's supposed to be coming here in RHD and will seat 4. The boy's trying hard to talk me into getting the Vette, albeit the Z-06 (won't be able to afford the ZR-1), we'll see!
Hopefully the rest of the series is more like last nights rather than the first weeks, doesn't have to be yanks just cars rather than lorries etc.:D

[DCM]

I am looking forward to the show that has the Vietnam theme in it!!

[showtime]

perhaps they will be racing these :woot:
