Top Gear

[Reply #120 on:]

No episode tonight 'because of some drunk men playing billiards' 

[Reply #121 on:]

mmm.. a brilliant show that is delayed by some pointless sport...

that reminds me something....

[Reply #122 on:]

^ Snooker is a sport now?

[Reply #123 on:]

Technically even chess is

[Reply #124 on:]

lool, i hate snooker! it cancels all the good t.v shows.

[Reply #125 on:]

By the way.. in www.topgear.com  there is "deleted" scenes from the "news" section of the show...

[Reply #126 on:]

NEver watched the show before but a line from a commercial cracked me up. "He's turning right on a red light - that is America's only contribution to civilization."

Of course, there's also Rock & Roll... but still funny.

[Reply #127 on:]

Fucking snooker.

Anyone know if Top Gear is back on form for THIS Sunday?

[Reply #128 on:]

Yes... is planned for the 28.. this series by the way is 10 episodes (last was 6) so we have 8 to go and barely 2 months left in the year. asuming that snooker or something will take a week or more we have top gear to the end of the year

[Reply #129 on:]

fuckin yes! anyway snooker bits arse! at least there isnt some drunk men playing billiards on this sunday lol.

[Reply #130 on:]

Yay! 1 day left... Can't wait for this episode.

[Reply #131 on:]

that lambogini reventon was extremeley nice but £800,000 is a lot of money. haha what is it with james may and tampons.

[Reply #132 on:]

I was LMAO the entire Jeremy in the BBC with the Peal (or whatever its called) part..
And the Veyron vs Typhoon was awesome. now the three presenters have drived it in some short of test... they should be allowed to do the power lap ..

And jeremy is a funny bastard as ever with richard "Richard hammond in a speed car in a straight airfield in the north"

[Reply #133 on:]

The parking in London phone call was brilliant.

Jeremy - "..........NOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Also the Bugatti on that mucky transit pick up cracked me up

[Reply #134 on:]

Fucking wet myself!

For anybody who saw Top Gear on the channel "Dave" today. LOL- that famous American who drove along the track (Astin Martin I think) and his wheel came off   

Jeremy blamed Simon Cowell since he is at the top of the list   

[Reply #135 on:]

800.000 pounds is the same as the Veyron..

now.. the Reventon cost the same, but , has it 1.000hp? has it hardware designed to not only handle 1.000hp, but handle it for 20 years? It has the suspension of the Veyron... does it +240mph? No...

Its fantastic but i would go to the Veyron

[Reply #136 on:]

that bit with jeremy was funney! it had a moped engine in it! haha the BBC news with him in the background lol    i was on the floor pissing myself when he was driving it through the BBC building! lol         

p.s this thread is the best!

You meaan Lionel Richie you fool!

"I have a...Lional Ricky here. He says he's from a group called the Commanders.....Would he be able to pay for seve.........

*Big smile*

MR RICHIE!!! How can I help you!


Classic!

[Reply #138 on:]

Next ep is a desert special..

I really dont like those.. , they are not bad, but Top Gear is turning more and more into "The adventures of Jezza,Hamster and C.Slow"

And why they dont test drive the Alfa 159 once for all!!.. they have the test filmed since 3 series ago!!

[Reply #139 on:]

Uh, maybe because it's a three year-old car now..?

[Reply #140 on:]

so is the 911 Carrera 2S and still pops up every while

[Reply #141 on:]

Yeah, that's because 99% of motoring journalists have the same stupid obsession with the 911.

I don't agree with it - they look bad, they're difficult to drive in the city, the clutch is too heavy, they're the standard choice of rich wankers and poseurs everywhere, etc - but it's not going to change any time soon.

[Reply #142 on:]

Jeremy about James with a teatowel on his head to keep the sand and heat out.

"You look like a terrorist, and your face is awful."

[Reply #143 on:]

Will watch it this night..

[Reply #144 on:]

I thought the American road trip was much better and last night's show was pretty absurd even for TG standards (made worse by the fact that Long Way Down was on immediately afterwards). Hammond naming his car "Oliver" was pretty funny. I was surprised at how much he panicked when he started to sink given that he did that "how to escape from a sinking car" gig a few years ago. Still, back to the studio next week.

[Reply #145 on:]

i thought that last nights episode was well good. its funney what james said...

james may: you look like a gay cowboy and you look like a gay torrorist.

haha it was funney when hammond sunk his opel cadet haha and those temporery doors for james and jeremey.

[Reply #146 on:]

@Smitty - the pool the car was sunk in didn't have crocodiles or alligators or whatever was likely in that river!

[Reply #147 on:]

Hammond panicked because he was realizing with horror that it may be the end of his beloved "Oliver"

Is funny that Jeremy and James keep failing for chosing "extrange" cars... for that budget they could get a really nice compact from 80s, like a mk2 Golf or a Corolla or something wich is really strong and light.. plus economical..

[Reply #148 on:]

I wanna drive my Metro across those sand plains. In fact , I would have loved to have done the whole journey in my car.

Blasting across Africa with death metal coming out the speakers

I doubt that river did either; they wouldn't have let him try to cross it if there was a danger to his life.

[Reply #150 on:]

I love the lastest episode it was so funny!

See, I've done the "parking in London" call, and yeah, it took me about 10 minutes.

Loved the self-parking Lexus.

Nitpicking slightly, but that Revention looked awesome.  Anything that looks like a Stealth Fighter can't be all bad.

Agreed... if for aesthetics (or whatever is writen in english sorry) i would go for the Reventón its awesome, as Jeremy says is how Lambos should look .. like the old Countach , the problem is that the Reventon is naughty expensive and only 20 will be made... wich should not bother us because we will never even have the option to drive a Gallardo or a second hand Miura (maybe an Urraco like that James bought for that challenge    )

Oh by the way, many Lambos are named after spaniard bulls as you know or spaniard bull-breeding houses as Feruchio Lamborgini was very fond on bullfighting (i should make clear at this point that me myself being a spaniard HATE and cant stand bullfighting.. if i could i would ban it forever right now ) so Reventón (wich means "burst out" / "blow out" ) maybe its a bull name same as Murcielago, Diablo, Urraco... Miura and Gallardo i think were bull-breeding houses and Countach surelly is unrelated to the issue..

Oh , i really love the Reventon dashboard in full LCD display and that car/plane modes.. but i have the impresion that i would became bored after some time.. i still prefeer the good old fashion gauges to any form of digital numbers, except maybe those LCD wich reproduces the old fashion gauges (like Mercedes , Honda Civic and some other ones)

Oh whats with the pronunciation of "ReVenton" .. we would spell exactly the same "Reventon and ReBenton" i didnt notice that english spell diferently B and V

[Reply #153 on:]

Tonights show was fantastic.  The Vanquish Roadster looks great, sounds awesome, and the Caparo T1 was, well, just bizarre.  It looks like a cross between an F1 car, and Thunderbird 3.

Loved the race across London. 

[Reply #154 on:]

will watch it tomorrow..

the Caparo T1 is the car that almost burnt Jason Plato ?

[Reply #155 on:]

Yeah, that's the one.  I won't spoil it for you, but it was the car The Stig took on the lap.

[Reply #156 on:]

Well I guess its' official. Nobody drives in London, there's too much traffic.

[Reply #157 on:]

yep, i liked the part when the stig had his phone and it was ringing and he just stared at it haha  .
the part when hammond got pissed of about the traffic lights was funney 

[Reply #158 on:]

That was a really good and interesting race..

And is "sadly" true, i just worked on the very center of my town for 2 weeks (now i changed work) going in car was totally out of question as there is no place to park (unless you afford one parking lot wich can be hideously expensive) on foot you take 30m to go (and you have to go 4 times) and the bus takes same or more than on foot and costs 65c per travel (using a card)..

Now i went on bike and i only needed 10 minutes to get to work

-you ruined Top Gear
-For me wining in a bike?
-yeah
-Wait..and you came second in a boat
-Ok.. between us we ruined Top Gear 

Oh.. what said that girl that passed Hammond and told him something and he respondes "I CANT GO FASTER I HAVE BUNDY LEGS!!" ..?

And next week Yes!! The Alfa 159 is coming!! finaly!

[Reply #159 on:]

yaaaaaay!
