What do you mean following the brilliant TG eposide? :eek:


It was pure muck. I wanted to switch it off after 15 minutes, only my son wanted to watch it.
They are getting so far away from motor journalism or presenting they might as well be a comedy / travel programme.
And as for Hugh Grant plugging his movie on last weeks eposide.

I taught this programme was suppose to about cars?

Just because they have a huge budget i think they are abusing their positions and just try to blow it in the maddest way possible.

Now now, we've had this debate several times in the last few years. Watch Fifth Gear for old style TG.

How about picking cars that have correct / non fake prices on them.

mukki

how about I give the wife €10 for her 06 golf

slogan to get attention....

"Turn your front fogs off "

irish_bob

this is a flawed challenge
for starters , cars in the usa are much cheaper than in ireland due to the fact that thier are millions of old cars in the usa and more importantly due to the fact that cars in ireland are more expensive than almost anywhere due to the VRT rate of 30%

so i would say a more realistic set price would be about 1200 euro

seriously dude , you have a serious humour deficency , top gear the other night was possibly the funniest most hilarious hour of television ive seen in years

besides all tv shows nowadays have to make thier subject matter appeal to a broader audience , ever watch country file on the bbc , you would think it was a show about agriculture , yet they usually have reports on how someone bought a pair of wellingtons or own a tractor even though they live in london or something

if you want a car show that is specifically dealing in cars , you will need to watch the satelite chanell men and motors

dr.bollocko

Men and Motors?
Think more boobs and less cars mate.
