They're mad of course

There is something about Top Gear that is irresistable - and I have become addicted. Drool over cars and that combination of characters just pushes my buttons Sad eh. Tonight's amphibious insanity was just magic. :D

 

Not another one..........
My wife was laughing hillariously throughout the whole programme.........
Could hardly concentrate on GC
Good job we guys can multitask........could do both....

 

Car is just a work horse to me, but on subject of same, my husband had an MG (from new long before we married) we always used to take the **** out of farmers that found old cars in there barns,

THEN I got into rare breed poultry, we fenced everything up and one day someone came to buy a chicken and found this MG in the barn.

OH thr trouble we had getting the thing out - made 3 times the price he paid for it new though!

 

Cars so bore me, but even I put aside an hour for Top Gear. It's not really a car show is it! My other half was in tears last week with the boat challenge! If I can do cars - then only fair he do gardens. Roll on How To Be a Gardener - have I missed it? Got to dash....!

 

Yeap, just a workhorse to me too!

Must admit it is an entertaining programme, but bothers me that it sends out all the wrong messages to the young...image and speed!

My daughter bought a new Fiat Punto 2 years ago, and generously offered it to my 15 year old grandson free when he passes his test.

His reaction: I don't want it, my mates will laugh at me!

 

I used to have a toyota starlet which I replaced after it had done a very respectable mileage. The engine etc. was fine but bodywork was looking rather shabby. I gave it to my elder daughter when she passed her test. Her mates laughed but not when she went off to festivals on her own, or was able to ferry them about free of parental authority... She painted it with hammerite and it eventually did 250,000 miles!
Perhaps new drivers should be restricted to smaller engines, then there would be no temptation to show off.

 

I'd love to do that. More - I'd love to be able to give my husband the opportunity to do that. Nathan, how on earth did you wangle that?

 

OK - I have to ask! Which car club? (I was once in a car club - used to drive a Cappucino, it's a small two seater spors car and it's so small that Jeremy Clarkson once drove it round the aisles of a supermarket!). Had to give it up when I got pregnant and the only way out was to roll out onto the road!

 

Ah, so that's why people ask about you Scoobying - thought it was something to do with, actually I won't say, you probably know what I thought it was to do with!

And all that good work - wow! Fantastic.

I think most enthusiast clubs are friendly , the love of what you're interested in surpasses any jealousy or nastiness. Well, I'd like to think so anyway.
