Cool I was at Top Gear Today

Well what can I say but it was awsome. Some of the stuff that won't get in is stupidly funny by the way

They are very funny off camera too. I even made it onto the camera too behind/beside James May, I'll be the one wearing a Blue Animal t-shirt with a red Camper Van on it.

Yeah free brownies, crisps and tea. Unfortunately that didnt go with the expensive bacon and egg roll i had but still totally worth it.

I spoke briefly to James and Richard but never got a hold of JC.

Now that would be telling and to be fair it was just plain wrong

Not pretty.

The latex stuff was just the wrong colour thats all. Just all wrong clashing with the colour of the car.

Ive been waiting for 5 years now and these weren't my tickets, my mate got them.

They said at the beginning that if they were to get back to everyone that applied it would take about 64 years

we got there about 1 ish and finally got inside at about 2/2:30 ish, they said it may go on til 7 but we were done by about 6:15.

Been a few times as I used to work up the road in Guildford and was lucky enough to know the TG production manager which meant I could get on the guest list anytime.

She left though
