Wish all those middle aged munters would stop screaming when the boys are talking.

Talk about ignorant


(Sorry, would usually comment on TG but watching TT instead so had to comment on that )

You're not missing much, it's poor tonight. I'm allowing the wife to flick over to watch Strictly.
I do think the other episodes have been good though this series.

They let that Fiesta out into pretty deep water there!

I hope they do one of their European races again this series - those are always quality!"

being a cyclist I was cheering for Boris when he came out with the comment about not intimidating the vulnerable road user, like cyclists

He's going to get a slating over the lorry driver comment though. There is some truth in what he said, but there are cyclists that can be to blame as well. Still it was VERY good to have the debate kicked off so publicly like that!

Fecking virgin box didn't record it all. What happened after the Fiesta drove onto the beach and the guy got out to go shoot stuff as it stopped there for me. Was there any more banter, cars, etc?

A decent one, again - as was last week's.

Although it seemed to be lacking James May - he was in it but he said very little!

I thought BJ was his usual ****** self too.

As one of the regular "Anti's" I have to say, like last week, I did actually watch it and enjoy it. My dad was a salesman for the local BL dealer in the Marina/Allegro era, it bought back memories. A friend of mine had a Lada Niva 4x4, and although it wasn't exactly reliable, it was almost indestructible.

Loved it - I was chuckling away like a fool for some time after the Marine beach assault! Thought they were going to drown the Fiesta when it went down the ramp of the LCVP

And LMAO at Boris forgetting Hammond's name "you know, the little one over there" LOL
