Top Gear last night

[NordieBoy]

The look on James May's face when his mum was talking about the way she didn't like the ride from low profile tires.

Priceless

Let the mums present the show for a change, should be interesting

[enigma51]

Yeah it was a good show with old ladies

[Badcat]

man - did you see the show where they had a compact car comparison with their mums as judges?
fookin' brilliant!
funniest thing i've seen on tv for ages (apart from everyone's election promises that is)

I cant wait to see the new maserati when top gear breaks for an add its the first bule and white car you see, look at its lap time!

1st Maserati MC12 - 1.18.9

2nd Ferrari F60 Enzo - 1.19.0

3rd Ariel Atom - 1.19.5

4th Porsche Carerra GT - 1.19.8

5th Mercedes McLaren SLR - 1.20.9

The fact that an Atom is (almost) within the price bracket for us "average wagers" and has that kind of performance out of a Honda engine says a lot for the minimalist build ethic.

Some very good stuff coming up in later episodes, like some F1 drivers in the "reasonably priced car" (is Damon Hill REALLY the Stig? - find out soon), another epic race across Europe and a 4wd that can race over water!!

I cant rember what bike it was.... but it was a thou that was stock and it raced an atom around the track the atom smashed it. In other words cars are faster than bikes......

runs and hides

[placidfemme]

ditto... same as the time they raced the supposedly fasted road car against a 600c bike... dumbies

[Motu]

I lost all respect for Clarkson and his cronies when they sent that Volvo crashing into those caravans,I cried for days and will NEVER,EVER watch that program again!

[White trash]

Yeah, I was a bit pissed off when they dropped the skip onto the Maserati Bi Turbo. I'd give my right nut for one of those cages. Bastards.

[NordieBoy]

The Rolls into the swimming pool was good though

Jeez Louise! $90,000 plus is a bit much for this average wager.
Besides, that's an STX300 and Superduke and K5 Gixxer thou and StreetGlide.

[F5 Dave]

I think it is a brilliant program. Now let’s get one thing straight. I plan to never own a car, the van is practical for moving bikes but I'd rather teleport.

So I have no interest in cars whatsoever. Boooring! Can't get a dirtbike in the back of a car no matter how expensive it is. Well maybe a Yank tank.

The fact they can make a show I look forward to watching about cars is a credit to them. Yes Clarkson is a prat. That’s the point, it makes the comic interplay funny.

So do you love caravans or Volvos or both?

What was priceless last night was the other guys cracking jokes over what had gone wrong with Jeremy's new Ford GT. He should have bought a decent reliable Japanese car eh!
