Marco Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Don't forget to watch tonight. It's the same time as the F1 race, but there's a repeat tuesday at 19.00 In this week's show: # Jeremy makes a splash when he opens a local swimming pool…with a Rolls-Royce # Richard finds out what happens when you take the roof off an Aston Martin DB9 with the new DB9 Volante # James road-tests the classic Maserati Bora from the Seventies # The Stig laps the test track in the new Batmobile (really) # Germany and Russia have a stab at the classic British sports car # Christopher Eccleston, aka Doctor Who, swaps the Tardis for a Suzuki Liana as this week's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Liked that Weinercar thingy from Germany that they put up against the TVR. The missus wants one in powder blue. I told her she better get saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyJawa Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 That was rather amusing! Though I did think it was a bit of a weak episode this week, seen better................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 i thought it was dull to be honest - think they're listenin to the moaning old trouts about aiming at "normal" people - hence Mr Mondeo and their mums was funny if Mrs May really was double clutching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
far Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 They gave him a focus estate as a courtesy car, some companies know how to treat their customers....BRILLIANT You would think that Ford would sort out a decent motor for Clarkson immediatley - like another one of the same considering he will without a doubt go on TV and kick the feck out of them if they mess him about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chiefvinso Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I think top gear has lost the plot. OK almost all of us in this forum lurve exotic cars and if we had the money would drive them but the fact that they run everyday cars down for not handling properly, or getting to 60mph in under 5 seconds and having only 100bhp etc. Thats fine but there are people out there who dont know or care about stuff like that as long as it serves a purpose to their lives. So if a show is to be about cars then they should be judging the cars for what they are and not comparing them to their own range of luxury and fast cars. Or on the other hand just show fancy cars on there. Also stop doing stupid tests like lets see which is fastest from britain to somewhere in europe (I forget where), a ferrari or you two via an airplane and bus and walking. Clarkson is a plank. I still watch TG though as I like cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Flash Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Thats fine but there are people out there who dont know or care about stuff like that as long as it serves a purpose to their lives At the risk of sounding stupid.... the people you are referring to here would surely just not watch it as they have no interest ...leaving the rest of us to enjoy our "hobbies". I don't care much for cookery programmes - so rather than demand they change "Can't, won't, shouldn't, wouldn't, hells kitchen is a nightmare, ..cook" to only include all things combined with toast - I will happily not watch them, accepting that to others - it is their own "Top Gear" Just my opinion mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chiefvinso Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Not sounding stupid, but I know people who watch the show and are not interested in performance. They are interested in the car and have some useless curly headed planks opinion based around his aston martin and whatever else he has in his garage. Its not about change its about being fair to each and every vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Thats fine but there are people out there who dont know or care about stuff like that as long as it serves a purpose to their lives. So if a show is to be about cars then they should be judging the cars for what they are and not comparing them to their own range of luxury and fast cars. But Top Gear is about purely performance cars, or at least it should be. Like that tongue in cheek news report a while ago saying it should have more green cars on it and try and get people riding bikes etc. They should call it 3rd gear. NO, it's TOP GEAR because it's about luxury performance cars haring round a track, it's car porn, it's great!!!! Get rid of all the weasly 1.2l diesel London 3 wheeler rubbish and get the throbbing V12 quad turbos on there doing silly speeds!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
