Yeah but its the same old same old top gear rubbish blah blah blah.

I like it too. I also enjoy Top Gear.

That's a quality piece, very funny.

not bad so far, but the sexual handbrake thing was embarrassing.

The authorities will be round shortly to collect your Man Card

It was advice for emac because he/she doesnt like top gear but appears to be watching it anyway. Please rest assured that i am [u]not[/u] watching call the midwife.

you'll have to explain that to the powers that be, it's out of my hands now.

Important, " can you plug a guitar into it" test

Dammit. I was just trying to be helpful. 🙁

Go Lewis!

Clapton was quality! 🙂

blimey you're much too cool for me. you're not even watching it and still posting on here about it. cup cake. 🙂

No,I'm posting about you.............

What if they break some glass on the pitch?

and appear to be getting a bit grumpy. i do hope this is not the case. its all a bit of fun.

i think the pitch is goint to require a bit of remedial work anyway.

Car rugby, self indulgent wasteful guff..

and appear to be getting a bit grumpy

glad to hear it. its finised now anyway. top gear that is. i'm off to watch ripper street.

Right, I don't want to talk about whether or not Top Gear is rubbish/ great, but I am just wondering -

Who pays for all those Kias? Are they given/ loaned/ bought? Same thing with that Bentley they rallied the other week - clearly there's going to be thousands of pounds of damage done, so who foots the bill? Do the car manufacturers just take it as publicity or what?

Relatively (very) cheap advertising I guess

I've always wondered that too. I'd assume even if they applied new panels and valeted they'd be too mechanically damaged to sell on?

Cz, for the record, I likes TG but that rugby did'nt blow my skirt up...

And who pays for the Kia's, well I guess folk that buy em I suppose via the marketing / pr department....

Hammo was good though..

20 minutes of exposure on a TV show watched worldwide by 350 million - what do you think?

Shame to see they've learnt from their previous mistakes...... Always showing the stig in the team line ups when they play the sports.

I like top gear but tonight was like watching Kia Tv.

I think the cars used are destined to be crushed anyway. I heard the brand new rangerover test/press cars were all going to be crushed or something mad once finished with and the model was launched officially.

So was it any less shit than last week's? I haven't watched it yet.

cor blimey DD, you're mr sunshine today..everything ok mr?

I think so. If you ignore the handbrake gag that features throughout...

Bugger off McTazzer! 😀

Fairy Nuff brakes, I'll give it a whirl as mrs deadly's hit the sack. It'll probably make me angry with tazzy again.

I never understood people who used to write in to the BBC " Points of View" TV show to complain about a TV program when there is choice.

Maybe I should endure watching football on tele so I can complain about spitting or maybe ( if I really wished to endure suffering) watch Eastenders just so I could complain about how depressing it is.

Hang on, I think I will just switch over.

we're all waiting for Tony Mason to come back

Didn't think tonight's episode was great but still the best hour of telly today!

Car launches will see loads of cars that never get sold as they've been used for test purposes. These may have been those or Kia may well have supplied split new cars for them. Even if tonight cost them 100k in cars that's probably a tiny advertising budget and with the review (seemed to me like a pre-requisite of getting the cars) and the tv time playing rugby I'd say it was money incredibly well spent.

Does Twickenham not get resurfaced regularly anyway? Was probably going to get done for the 6 nations (or something like it) the next day anyway...

Bloody cheap advertising really, why do you think it is that in a hell of a lot of TV programmes the phones and laptops are Apple, hour long adverts that people don't ignore.......like they do with adverts
