ManxTrialSpaz Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 So what part of the quote is not true there? At no point did I say that 5th Gear and mags are the only other options, just using that as a method to show that Top Gear is purely entertainment these days.I agree that Top Gear is just entertainment. Clarkson's review of the Lambo was awful at best. But the way you worded that made it seem as if it's only 5th Gear that do proper reviews on the television ."if you want "proper" reviews put up with Tiffs voice or read a car magazine."

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has prompted nearly 200 people to complain to the BBC about a joke he made on Sunday's motoring show.Clarkson, 48, was taking part in a lorry-driving task, when he suggested that lorry drivers kill sex workers."Change gear, change gear, check mirror, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder. That's a lot of effort in a day," he said.I thought it was funny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thing is, he was making a point about truck driving being harder then he thought, they just took it out of context.PC has just gone to mental in the eyes of the public, soon it's going to be just like demolition man. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 to be honest, with the huge rise in the popularity of the internet and motoring based forums, I don't feel there is the need for a show that's soley reviewing new cars like the old style top gear.Those style of shows are still fun to watch, but the new style show will attract LOADS more viewers.And lets face it, all us car freaks are STILL going to watch it every week without fail arn't we?

I wouldn't of minded so much if they'd raced a new *insert new car here* against a dog sled team and cross country skier in Alaska but to take up 75% of the programme with silly truck games was annoying. They didn't even destroy any caravan's with them. What's the world coming to?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 the first programme of the new series and they spent the time fannying around with trucks.I liked the idea of HGV's. But they made a complete hash out of it by pretending to be idiots as usual. What the f**k is the point of a car falling out of the trailer and Hammond pretending not to have noticed, what's the point of Clarkson driving a burning truck and pretending not to have noticed? That's just really really stupid. The only slightly amusing part was when they drove through those obstacles. And it was kinda satisfying to see Jeremy really being hurt, and not just pretending. And respect to all of them for doing something potentially dangerous.Also, the GT2 lap time. Anyone else really annoyed that they didn't say what it was? What's the point of power laps if you're just going to tease people with the lap time and then pretend to be a fool by burning it? I value Jeremy's opinion when it comes to cars, bought an S2000 under his influence and I haven't looked back. But if you're considering buying a car he's testing or which has at least been thrashed around the track by the Stig, you will want to know how fast it is. It was also quite obvious that the audience wasn't as enthusiastic about what they had lined up either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) Yea, I forgot about that actually, the GT2 laptime pissed me right off, normally hel end up murmering it under his breath or whatever, but to burn it and not say atall was retarded. I actually think the GT2 is a better looking car (especially in that white) than the lambo. And in someways despite being slower it looks more fun to drive than the lambo.

Greetings Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 And in someways despite being slower it looks more fun to drive than the lambo.Yeah but was it slower? That's the thing, I think it was faster and that's why he burned it.It's like with the Evo and the Impreza, he just didn't want to admit that the car he thought was miles better than the other, was actually slower around the track.

Muel Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I pissed myself when they were holding up all the traffic on the bridge, but there were loads of good bits, James going fast, James crashing, setting off the car alarms and Richard taping up the front of his £20+k car to stop the air going in.

Dan6061 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) That one was way better than last weeks!His apology was awesome! haha. Them holding up traffic on the bridge, setting the alarms off, and 'not being entertaining'... epic. Muel - The tape wasn't to stop air going in, it was to make the car more aerodynamic. A big hole at the front would cause a lot of drag, despite it actually keeping the engine cool. Edited November 9, 2008 by Dan6061 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yeh I knew that, my point was really was really that he's driving a brand new car at bonneville, which apparantly is really hot, and then he tapes up the holes that feed air to the intercooler/radiators?Pretty stupid thing to do really.
