Doesn't seem 'chavy' to me. He seems like a fairly knowledgeable petrol head who likes his old motors. What on earth does 'raz kehab boy' mean???

Just seen this post and after reading i am discusted about the picture that was posted. However being a resonable person I can see that it wasn't meant to offend disabled people as I think the poster didn't realise what it meant until told.

Having a disabled child myself I think words like that are used way too easy and some consideration should be given before it is said.

Boo hoo, someone pass the tissues. Get over yourself - You are the kind of lily livered namby-pamby wet pants that has ruined Great Britain.

Stand up like a man

There are people around here who are FAR FAR worse off than you and you don't hear them crying like a big girl.

Thanks Paul. A genuine mistake, I assure you, but I have no objection to the infraction now.

Lesson learnt and vocabulary increased.

Dont think this deserved infraction as user didnt actually know what he was saying and didnt intend to cause offense. Its only words at the end of the day...people these days take offense too easily(political correctness etc)

In my opinion 5th gear = s***e. Top Gear is a great show, perhaps not a good car review show anymore, but its very entertaining and I always look forward to it on a sunday night! I also find clarkson hilarious!

jods - Did you need special training to be such an imbecile or does it just come naturally?

Andy, I did mean to post this last night after I read it.

I just wanted to say I think it is admirable that you have the ***** to post that you was misguided and have also learn't something new. It is not always easy to do what you have done and if more people followed your example SN and alot of other forums would be better places.

People do get things wrong and the willingness to accept this is always a good thing.

Cheers Paul, and I was disappointed to see the "other" reaction you got to your post, by the way.

Feel a bit daft having posted something without looking into what it meant - like a Sun reader saying "I'm just looking at the pictures!". As I say, lesson learnt.

Back on track.... The run of the mill type cars is exactly what TG needs to get back to. At the moment it is too much about very expensive adventures or silly stunts which are great but at the end of the day i'd prefer them to actually talk about cars i might want to/be able to buy (lots of people on here have a family motor too) and be helpful to me. 5th Gear does that even if it is irritating.

Why not keep it as it is.... TG for top end cocking about and 5th Gear for family/affordable motoring

Because i'd prefer to have cars reviewed properly by people that don't make me want to throw some sort of comedy custard pie at the TV screen!

At least a Clarkson review will be honest!

You realise that Clarkson would just hate them all..... and probably end up topping himself before having to film episode #2
