Top Gear is brilliant! How can anyone dislike it?? Plus, on my weekend home I discovered the Dave channel - love it!

I like it appart from the slightly disturbing extend to which Clarkson loves engine noise

It depends what's happening in the show some are quite boring whereas some are very funny. My favourite episodes are when they sailed across the channel and the one where they went to america and got shot at. Also when they filled some cars with water to see if they leaked.

The America one is hilarious and The winter olympics is quite funny.
An Enzo versus a ice skating speed skater thats quite good.

Ok I don't really like it. I watch it with my dad or my boyfriend sometimes but the "and this car is ONLY £35 000" REALLY GETS ON MY NERVES.
:Vampiress:
04-25-2008, 12:12
Love it. I watch it every day on the Dave channel. Did anyone catch that trip to America they did? Through Alabama with 'man-love is okay' and 'NASCAR sucks' written on their cars?

Top gear is mint with 3 mint presenters, Jeremy, Richard and Captin Slow. I watch it on Dave all the time. But, you need to love cars to enjoy it. If not, don't watch it.

Sam's is completely correct we planned this and are going to do it what do you all think about super glueing people to chairs and making them watch it.?

'Love it or loathe it?' - is it even possible to loathe it? It's three men (well 2 and a hamster...) acting like little boys in a playground - how can you not love it? It's one of the best things that has happened to BBC and if they ever even dare to cancel it then I may have to kill someone...

Top Gear is one of the best programmes on t.v. today. If you don't like it then you should be strapped to a chair and made to watch all of the episodes until you like it.:p :D :p :D
I want them to come to power! Clarkson as PM, Hamster as Chancellor and May as Minister for justice and transport.

They sure would make a better government than our current one! Apparently Clarkson is going to make a rule when he's PM that we can't have doors on cars because 'it's just better' - the Green Party wouldn't be too happy about them though...

Well no, he dosen't, but who does? All you have to do is to go to China; they are much worse. WHICH THAT SHOULDN'T BE THE CASE.
rosieposey
05-13-2008, 18:21
Don't compare our country to China. If you do so, you'll think that there's nothing wrong with us and therefore give up on becomming a nicer country. We set our own standards.
Top Gear and Fifth Gear are virtually identical... except Top Gear doesn't take itself seriously and spends more time doing brilliantly crazy challenges with cars rarther than reviewing them. Well, those are the good epsiodes. But that's why top gear is so brilliant- personally cars don't interest me at all.

Well, Top Gear has had two stints. In the 90's when Top Gear was cancelled, the BBC authorised Five to do their own version. Then Top Gear came back on :)

OK, on Top Gear on sunday they had those classic cars and the lists of all the people who had owned one.
Clarkson presented a list of dictators who had previously owned his mercedes and I couldn't help noticing that sneaked in there amongst Castro, Hussein and the like was...F W De Clerk!
Are the BBC comparing a list of murderous dictators with the man who ended South African apartheid?

He wasn't a dictator - just because he was only elected by whites...
Are we suggesting that pre-suffragettes all PMs were dictators*?
*I know there were more blacks than women disenfranchised - closest i could think of.

surely they can't blame De Clerk for who elected him, especialy as it was him to changed the system to give blacks voting rights.

09-25-2008, 13:45
'Dave' is funny. I just think that whenever I'm watching it I like the repeats of things but not the repeats of Top Gear cause they cut out all the banter. Which is the point of the show

As a way of life, I now work with Clarkson's way of doing things. Bigger if better. More is better. And faster if better.:D

I found out today that the first toy 'Paddington Bear' was made by a Shirley and Eddie Clarkson who gave the prototype to they're children: Joanna and Jeremy Charles Robert. Shirley dressed it in Wellington boots to help it stay upright. So Jeremy Clarkson is in a way the founder of Paddington Bear aswell as Top Gear.

My favourite bits were when Clarkson's lorry caught fire and Hammond's car fell off without him realising.
Patriot 167
11-03-2008, 17:18
My favourite part of the episode:
James May opens Richard's door to look at the car, Richard looks away.
R: It's bad isn't it. All the windows are smashed aren't they.
J: No, it's worse then that.
(The car isn't in the lorry.)

I suppose it's unlikely we will ever know who The Stig is, as if we ever find out he will be fired and replaced like the Black Stig was, thereby our knowledge of who The Stig is will be incorrect.

The last stig revealed his identity after being replaced, so I assume that when the stig is no more his identity will be revealed
Isn't it strange how Top Gear can keep this sort of stuff secret but the Government fail to keep a lot of things secret - and the stuff they try to keep secret gets hacked by the chinese!
It seems knowing would wreck the mystery here - or the ubergeeks who could hack in and find out aren't too in to Top Gear.

It seems clear to me, Jeremy Clarkson is charge of top gear, and he is a much better leader than anyone in government.

There was a petition on the governments website. I think it should be reinstated. I would love Clarkson opposite Brown in the HoC.
