Smile top gear

Anyone see top Gear last night? for anyone didn't, they are looking for vehicles up to 51 plate to be inlcuded in their Top Gear Car Survey. I think this will be very enlightening. Although i am quite biased(latest prob- new steering rack and ball joints!!!)

Also one of the Top Gear 'pundits' said that people would be mad not to get a discount of any car at the mo, is this true? I wonder if anyone out there has managed anything from a MINI dealership?? They laughed at me when i mentioned it

Top Gear is getting very embarressing to watch now

How J Clarksons use of the c word wasn't bleeped is beyond me considering they bleeped him when he crashed into the board

The BBC need to really do something about this unprofessional programme

MINI, RX8 and MX5 - Done those............. It's now TTime

Entertaining yes, but hugely embarressing at times.
It's like watching an episode of The Office

James May is definately a plus point to the programme though

Yep, it's all knockabout stuff - but don't forget to watch next week when one of our member's conversion is given the once over by them!

i got my TLC and £250 off the price of the car, plus 3 mini back packs and a pile of flowers. hehe.

Did you see that cool 2 seater bike / car thing for £22,000? That Dutch invention, thats the funkiest thing i've seen for a long time.

James May has improved a lot since the last time he was on - remember that?



But that Hammond t*** should go back to Men and Motors - he really is IMO a complete waste of time. TG is now a thinly disguised attempt at giving Jezza his own show - just under a different name.

The survey is on their website at www.topgear.com

I just gave my car bottom marks and top marks for various things - quite fun really

Just heard, it's not happening now. Editorial change. Sucks.

That two-seater was a Carver. Nice to see they liked it.

I had never heard the story Clarkson told about Abel Tasman missing Australia while under influence of cannabis. Very funny.

I imagine they would make good conversation between Carver owners, how many lights do you have one round that roundabout then???
