But did nobody realise that yet again this week they featured an Omega ....... for a fraction of a second.
When Clarkson was passing through some village in the Porsche. In the background, a dark green pre-facelift barge, parked up. Looked like GLS spec.
Bye the way, it wasn't me that spotted it .... it was my 8 year old son.
Eyes like a hawk that boy

We did too  

Always play meega spotting  

[theolodian]

LOVED IT !!!

But - and this is not me speaking - this is the devils advocate....

How long before the pc brigade convince the BBC about its unsuitability and they get cold feet over TG's funding.

Lets be honest it aint PC and the PC briade seem to win their battles right now.

Darned American Altruism    Long live Borat!  

[Markie]

youve got a point there Theo..

I thought I saw it too but was watching live

depends on the route it comes from.

if from a government representative, they'll be told to shove it.

if on the other hand a body of viewer representatives moans...   there's every chance you're depressingly right

I did rather enjoy JC slating the Brabus merc as unusable and pointless. (which it undoubtedly is)

although i was a bit worried about his literacy/senility .......     when did lbs/ft or N/m become an SI unit called  "Torques"



and carping over buying a new Lambo drop top...

I'm going to drive around Chippy with a paintball gun.

sorry, but it HAS to be done .

LOL, should be easy to spot, doubt there are many lambos out in carrot cruncher land....

[Del Boy]

That was really cool  

[STMO123]

I know you've heard it all before, but, I would like them to take some ordinary cars and really give an in-depth appraisal. Just one a week, for maybe 10mins

TG is not a motoring review programme - its a big boys/big toys programme.

For car reviews, watch 5th gear etc...

No....thank you.

[sounds2k]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought it hilarious when the reliant exploded into smithereens  

Top Gear really is entertainment - they do stuff (like that - and the radio-controlled demolition derby) that most people can only dream of, it's escapism and good to watch  

[Ronald_McBurger]

It WAS launched. I was there. It went 1,217 ft up before the tanks were chucked off. There were no tricks. It really did go.

I also never tell porkies.

OK, I wasn't there and have no idea. But it looked good, if not a total waste of time, effort and BBC license payers money. Lets do the same next week with clarksons new Lambo, WITH him in it!

Obviously there are a lot of mixed feelings and opinions about TG (which we're all entitled to) however, I think it has to be looked at in the context of what TG is aiming for - is it it a motoring magazine show, a big boys toys show or an entertainment show. The answer is that it's a bit of each in my opinion, but primarily entertainment. Very few of us could only dream of driving most of the cars they feature and would never have the opportunity of performing any of the crazy stunts they get up to, so they do it for us in a very entertaining manner - what's wrong with that?? :-?
If I wanted to watch a motoring magazine show that features "everyday" cars I'd probably watch 5th Gear.

Yes, many of the crazy things they get up to are carefully planned or stage managed........but it makes me LAUGH, and that's what's important.

I for one have absolutely no problem with the BBC chucking a bit of money into programmes like this. Long live Top Gear!!

I'd rather them spend money of programmes such as TG, rather than the dreary dross like East Bloody Enders.
