Wouldnt it be nice if he could spend a weekend, on a closed road in an F6.... needless to say, i reckon he would have one in his hand luggage flying home.....

You should check you "The Storm Rages Twice" on SBS. You'd love it.

I would imagine, there will be a few Australian based segments in the next couple of seasons of Top Gear, after all there were 4 from their trip to Japan, and at least 3 from their last trip to the US, so they seem to make the most of their trips abroad.

Good to see that a major UK newspaper is on top of their game - there is a slight difference between Clarkson, Hammond & May having resigned their contracts and having re-signed them... (it's the caption of the second photo)

ImpGonads · 06-02-2009, 03:31 PM

Top Gear UK by far the best show, where else can you see the reckless abuse of some of the worlds most exotic cars. My personal favourite was the Bus rally circuit and the US tour where all segments had to be strictly 'non-entertaining' or something like that.

I also agree, what business would it be of theirs to comment on an industry they hardly care about.

platinumXR · 06-02-2009, 07:40 PM

Steady on...Clarkson is an ENTERTAINER...and his tongue is ALWAYS planted firmly in his cheek. It's not meant to be taken seriously even when he does bag us out.

Don't like or understand his humour? my missus says there's a good show on 10 at 7:30 Mondays...apparently...

He only really seems to care about the Brit industry
Jagurar, Aston.

Pity they dont own any of it anymore.
lol

UKXR8 · 07-02-2009, 01:31 AM

Who owns Aston then????

Loved his comment about Gordon Brown though, never a truer word spoken!

gcg2503 · 07-02-2009, 02:34 AM

Its all over the news the comment about the British PM Gordon Brown

The press are outraged and he is coping all sorts of grief over it

Textbook Clarkson though - any publicty is good publicity

UKXR8 · 07-02-2009, 06:22 AM

I think only some segments of the press are ****ed about it......

Have a look at the comments at the end of this article, I know its the mail, but I think he has pretty much captured the mood of the nation...

would be nice if they got there facts right to. they state that K Rudd is Australias premier...not Prime Minister.

However, Jeremy is entitled to his opinion just like everyone else, just because he's a TV personality doesnt mean he cannt. And this relates to both the one eyed scottish idiot comment and not giving a hoot about the Australian car industry.

And you too may be entiltled to your opinion, problem is though, as like Clarkson, its not called for at this particular time. Its not a thread about whether or not you like the show, but about a comment (or rather, comments) made by JC. Go and find the correct thread for bagging TG

In Britain Prime Minister and Premier are the same thing. They often use the word Premier to describe a Prime Minister. Premier is not a title there.

UKXR8 · 07-02-2009, 09:09 AM

We don't have a premier as far as I know, we have Gordon Brown who is an unelected gormless moron, and we have our head of state, being Liz, (also unelected but considerably less stupid than the monkey pulling the levers at present!) at least thats the way I understand it..
Hmmmm feel a rant coming on, best stop now and neck some JD's..

Whitey-AMG · 07-02-2009, 10:37 AM

JC has social tourettes............he dares to state what most people are thinking but were too afraid to do it themselves.........I love his commentary and his twisted metaphor.......Some say he's old and crabby and doesn't give a toss about the AUS car industry, that he has 3 testicles......and has a use for all 3...........all we know is........He's called JC..........

Bad Bird · 07-02-2009, 10:49 AM

You watch Top Gear for factual information about cars just like you watch The Wizard of Oz for factual information about tornadoes.

That said it is the best TV show ever made.

i dont blame him for not coming.
i just got back from london, and flying 20+ hours isnt fun.
