just watched top gear boxing day middle east  :o :o

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

some facts:

* driving through iraq (except the kurdish area) was definitely a mad idea.. they could easily be shot and using those sports cars , they were attracting  all attention more than anything.. if they were not lucky it could be their last programme :o :o :o

* Turkish border make checks for drug dealers (as they use that route) and police wont be friendly anyway.. I have used that border pass in the past and definitely most bad area.. (stayed 3 months for some oil trade job between my bank and a fuel company)

* after that the road that follow is parallel to the border so one side is covered with mines (but  there are wires seperating the area) but in that area trucks are much more dangerous as their drivers mostly dont sleep well (oil trade) as they continously travel

* but why didnt they use iskenderun harbor and pass from there easly from better roads..

* and no comment for using those sporty cars in desert ;D ;D :-X



* east part of Turkey where terror is usuall not so dangerous for westerners.. as kurds expect some help from them.. so they are wrongly informed.. ;D

Top Gear is abysmal.
That drive-by shooting episode, presumably meant to have us all rolling around in stitches at just how 'out there' these three lame middle-aged men are, was jaw-droppingly irresponsible and so cringe-worthy I was squirming on the sofa wishing it would stop.

The only drive-by shooting i'd like to witness is any one with that utter knob Clarkson in the firing-line, using real bullets.

Oh my, you've got me started on Top Gear now... [smiley=rolleyes.gif]

EVERY time they "test" some meaningful, real-world car, especially older, used cars (think 'Supercars for under £1500' episode, or 'BL did make some quite decent cars' episode, with SD1, Dolomite Sprint & Ambassador), the budget is so ridiculous it's no wonder the cars fail under harsh treatment. If they'd done 'Supercars for under £5000', or 'Good BL cars for under £2500', they'd have had a more realistic real-world test and no cheap laughs. They may even have had to use some real-world journalistic skills. Maybe that would be too difficult for them - just go for the rancid cheap laughs, that's much easier..... [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

I think you're forgetting that To Gear is an entertainment programme, loosely based around cars...  ...it hasn't been a serious review programme for years - its 3 middle aged men arsing around, and for that I like it.

I haven't forgotten that it's failed to "entertain" me in many years.
What's wrong with expecting more from the premier motoring programme on TV than 3 abject berks arseing about? WITH OUR BLOODY LICENCE FEE MONEY???

Don't we already suffer from more than enough 'lowest common-denominator' programmes of all tripes and stripes?
