Top Gear on tonight!

No you cant.

They allowed cyclists and pedestrians over it when it opened, just to taunt them about what they would be missing I assume. I am holding out for another day like that.

i think the tour went over it one year.

I was thinking the Stelvio would be fab to drive up (to the strains of Days Like These), and then ride down, on a recumbent trike (to Self Preservation Society - but without the bit where you end up over the edge...)

I liked Helen Mirren - she deflated Clarkson quite nicely....

I look forward to the next 'build something stupid' film...

"Here's a fast car - it's expensive and it goes fast.

Here's a cheap car - it's rubbish and funny and we've blown it up.

Here's a foreign person - he's stupid and he talks funny.

Here's something markedly faster than a very fast car, going faster than a very fast car - wow, we weren't sure if it would."

The new series of Top Gear, summarised. Hope I didn't spoil it for anyone.

as did christin scott-thomas. personally, it's probably set up to make him look a boorish buffoon, such is his role in the show.

Why would it spoil it for anybody? It's been going for so many years that everybody knows what happens. Those who like it watch it, thoes who don't do something else.

EZ.

Funny how they blamed fifth gear for starting the fire. Top gear at its best!

Not a chance. The appalling Vicky Butler-Gobsh*te couldn't organise a p*ss-up in the proverbial brewery, let alone an arson attack.

She has the opposite effect on me....

Brilliant episode. Really funny.

 

[Danny]

I'm shocked at the enthusiasm shown for Top Gear. The whole show is car-porn which promotes a completely unsustainable future based around gas guzzling high performance monstrosities.

Clarkson is a fervent anti-cyclist who quite frankly deserves to be run down on sight.

... porn ...

Total rubbish, spoken like a true zealot !!

porn is the explicit representation of the human body or sexual activity with the goal of sexual arousal and/or sexual relief. It is similar to erotica, which is the use of sexually-arousing imagery for mainly artistic purposes.

... Clarkson is a fervent anti-cyclist who quite frankly deserves to be run down on sight.

To paraphrase a recent post - are you seriously suggesting that anybody should deliberately run somebody down?? Are you seriously trying to justify this for people who don't share your own interests or views?

What colour shirt are you wearing today?

Nice to see someone's sense of humour is in full working order tonight.

Excellent show......had me laughing again.
Loved the cars driving through the tunnels.
I'd love to cycle and drive along those sexy roads.
The bays are deffo back in style.

So?
I like cars, I own 2 (actually I like one and loathe the other). I'd love a Porsche, or even better one of those big 4 seater Maseratti things that Schumacher drives, beautiful. I like to dream that I might be driving an Aston Martin through the mountains to the French Riviera. I even like Clarkson's irreverent sticking 2 fingers-up persona...and it is a persona that he has cultivated very nicely so he can annoy well pretty much anybody and get away with it. Great job.

Don't assume because we are passionate about bicycles and cycling that we are all bearded lentil eating yoghurt knitting sandal wearing car haters.

Well said Fab.
