Nowt wrong with that. But his blatant speeding has plenty wrong with it.
Pook that is roughly correct.

You are right. That's why I said it up there ^

Corrachadh Mòr is the most westerly point on the british mainland.
Highway Code - 109. Areas of white diagonal stripes or chevrons painted on the road. These are to separate traffic lanes or to protect traffic turning right.
• If the area is bordered by a broken white line, you should not enter the area unless it is necessary and you can see that it is safe to do so.
• If the area is marked with diagonal stripes and bordered by solid white lines, you should not enter it except in an emergency.
• If the area is marked with chevrons and bordered by solid white lines you MUST NOT enter it except in an emergency.Posted 2 years ago # -
Was it not from Englan's most Westerly point?

That sun looked like it had risen to me....

Fair enough, by around 30 metres. Ardnamurchan Point is generally recognised as the most Westerly point on the GB mainland though, albeit inaccurately by that short distance.
A good 22 miles West of Land's End

Geography lesson for Clarkson.Britian's most westerly point is Ardnamurchan point, not Land's End
Did he mention Britain?

CFH - Well, he DID leave from England's most Westerly point, but as he did it he claimed it was Britain's most Westerly point.

Fair enough
I couldn't remember, hence the question.

Man, I hate Prescott but, he is making Clarkson look a cock (and the audience) - I now have a certain feeling of ambivolance towards him. ;o)

Prescott is a ****

Probably because he's getting paid for it.

yeah I do feel a bit sorry for him
Posted 2 years ago # -
Bits of him are quite far West too.

I wouldn't quite say that Prescott is making Clarkson look like a cock. He is after all skilled in spin, so I personally wouldn't trust much of what he says anyway. Clarkson is being his usual arrogant self. Methinks that makes two such protagonists.

Ok losers...how many times has this set of has-heens revisited the past FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER other that for self publicity. I mean, F40? FFS
Cashing on on Senna again? Hmmm is there anything of the barrel left?

OMG someone In the audience (oddly enough not one of the hotties in the front row) has something to say!!!!!!

About the only good part of this episode is the Moon Buggy bit. The 959/F40 feature was just to let Hammond rag them up and down for no real reason. The Cool Wall was the same old shite as usual, most of this series has been dull and predictable.
Hope the new series in Summer is better.

What you on about - it was a heads up for a documentary

Exactly.

Only 4 months to wait until the next series. Excellent

Surprisingly, if he'd done that 'race' right, from Corrachadh Mòr to Lowestoft Ness it would be 554 miles - less than 100 miles more than the route he took. He'd have had to average over 72mph though.....

Oh well that last of this series of "Last of the summer wine", oops sorry top Gear

I hear they're changing the base product next series. Same format, different mode of transport. They'll still have The Stig but dressed in full-face helmet and body armour. They'll be ragging carbon fibre finery around a XC course, putting a star on a reasonable priced hardtail, extracting the urine from singlespeed riders and following Hanibal through the Alps on full-sussers. Wonder what the viewing figures will be like...

Shame, I'll miss seeing Cleggy driving an old tin bath down the hill gurning at the camera and saying something homophobic, misogynist or racist.
Can't wait for the Summer series!

They were just rude about the Yaris Verso! Unless anything unplanned happens I am not waiting to die. It does, however, carry bikes very well and is brilliant for nipping to the shops with the baby and pram in the back. Grrrr, BBC madness. They have gone too far this time. Can I have my licence fee back please?

After watching Stewart Lee my opinion of Top Gear is more amusing now
And yes I did download it illegaly.

Not sure how they pick the cars to comment on; maybe the point is that those that have one aren't shy about saying their car isn't the most important thing in their life. BTW, I've just ordered a Roomster....

But were there solid or broken lines surrounding them? Can't say I noticed the lines on the TG piece though (although the thought crossed my mind about whether it was legal or not).Posted 2 years ago # -
I actually liked the bit about the 959 and the F40
I'm always up for a bit of nostalgia especially where cars are concerned. Sure it was just an excuse for Hammond to rag some cars around, but it just made me wish I had his job
I know the top gear boys are homophobic, misogynist, racist buffoons but its still quite amusing, and that does not mean I subscribe to their point of view
Stewart Lee is not funny, but +1 wtf, it did make watching top gear a bit funnier
