Me too, regardless of the set - up you couldn't pay me enough to go screaming off a wet runway sideways at that speed without a nomex suit, helmet and roll cage (and waterproof undercrackers). He was incredibly lucky not to cartwheel that car - airfields are dreadful places for obstructions, rabbit holes and very uneven ground once you get off the concrete.

 

Maybe the M135i will gain cult status for being the car that nearly killed Clarkson?! Or maybe not!

Took my Dad out for a blast in ours on Sunday; a few sections of road near here resemble a racetrack (good vis, decent run off on tight bends, long straights£ and gave it full beans using the paddles; had the back end waggling a bit and a huge grin. Clearly I'm horribly biased but the car really is EPIC!!

 

Dunsfold is pretty flat and although I've not explored the grass at quite the velocity Clarkson managed I can't remember it being any worse than spinning anywhere else

 

Fair play, I guess I've just had too many twisted ankles and bumpy rides in Defenders at other airfields when in the University Air Squadron / doing my ppl.

 

Most pointless show of the serious

Watch out for the political/ environmental message

 

And why is Clarkson wearing a TIE !!

 

Tonight's is embarrassingly crap

 

Why was there a hotel room pre booked if they had gone on the wrong road?

 

This is utter tosh - same old same old - how long are we going to pay £millions for this rubbish??????

This week is 100% boring ....... the very same stories and disasters .......

 

Because they make a fortune exporting the same old same old, surely even you can work that one out pissy

 

I find the background stuff about Burma quite interesting but other than that, oh dear.

 

Why are clarkson's legs extremely small compared to his bear-ish body.

 

You meant the most pointless show of the series, I think. Even if you meant that of the serious, any show with some point has to be somewhat serious. Even a nonsense comedy show has to be serious with its aim to make people laugh at its absurd nature. Was TG completely and utterly crap this time?

I thought most men love Top gear as it turns them on like a chimp on heat. Trendy cars are a turn on to them, so are the sarcasm of Clarkson and the clowning of his two sidekicks. How easy pleased.

 

OMG - that was just Part 1!!!

 

Bear? They type that hangs out in leather bars?

Clarkson is notoriously unfit which is probably the reason.

 

Top gear is utter ****e, I only watch it now if I know there is a decent car on. The rest is staged and quite embarrassing to watch.

 

It makes money, a lot of money so the answer to your question is about minus 10 years

 

I found its very entertaining.

 

Judging by the comments I'm so glad I don't watch this sh1te anymore!

 

I thought it was a pretty entertaining 60 mins of television.

Come on, even the haters must admit this was no India Special.

 

I enjoyed it purely for the reason of seeing more of a country I never really knew much about with a few funny segments thrown in.

 

i agree with this fella

 

Quite enjoyed it,couldn't believe that main highway at rush hour.flip if only our roads were like that,and you'd still get drivers hogging the middle lane(lane 10)

 

+1





It was worth watching the series purely for the 918 spyders exhaust ports

 

They modified them in wacky ways half way through the trip - who saw that coming!!

 

the thing is you lot watch it EVERY week then moan about how crap it is.

this is the reason they carry on making the same old crap using the same old format.

dont watch it then the viewing figures will show this and they will either stop making the crap or make something better.

 

I thought it was quite good

The horse scene was genuinely funny

And Burma looks stunning

 

+1

 

Talk about stating the bleeding obvious! Of course it's staged, doesn't take 2 brain cells to rub together to work that one out, it's an entertainment show, nothing more, nothing less. If you're expecting a consumer show, watch Watchdog or something! Still there are others who have spent years moaning how cr@p it is but still feel compelled to watch it, but we all know these same people suffer from a self-defeating personality disorder.

 

The haters don't get culture and entertainment, they just want some fat arsed twat bleating on about the latest Fiesta, ******.
