Anyone notice the look Amy Williams was giving James May as he explained the track? She was full on mentally undressing him. You'll note that later on when Clarkson tried to chat her up she didn't give him the same lustful stare.

She's lovely, defo better than the normal male looking women that compete in sports like that.

Well, I for one thought Sebastian Vettel was good value. Funny, quick witted. Damn good for German :)

Which is a shame, because I really wanted him to be a kn0b. How can I hate him as much now when he wins.

Yup, thoroughly nice bloke, almost British, didn't win today though did he ;)

Will be interesting to find out what sort of MPG those big V12s are doing in the real world :lol:

10-07-11, 08:26 PM
12 mpg

yep half decent show tonight, no silly convaluted scripted challenges, just a few cars being tested - with the Range albeit in an environment its unlikely to encounter in real life

They were playing on my local road, the B664 from Market Harborough to Uppingham.

Vettel is such a great bloke, I think that has done his reputation the world of good with the british public. Don't mind him winning so much now.

good motoring show tonight much like the good ol days,

They did what I wanted to do when looking for a car for Catherine... spend the 6k on something silly...

ended up with a focus because a V12 would bankrupt us..

Was ok.

The point of the Nissan Pixo is that its cheap to run as well as cheap to buy. Not exactly V12 territory. Odd Clarkson criticised the Pixo but has liked other cheap cars for the same weaknesses. Oh I forgot....Top Gear isn't a car show and Clarkson isn't a journalist.

Having seen interviews with Webber and thought "he's a good guy" to then hear Webber and Vetel dont get on I assumed Vettel was a PITA but his interview showed him in a great light. Obviously been taking Schumacher tips on British humor, still want team GB to win more though ;)

That range rovery thing

Uses the same chassis as the Freelander...then they wonder why it goes pretty much everywhere.

As for the rest of it.....whys it look like a squashed mini cooper?

Yeah, i recognised the roads, all the bridges and what not. :)

Also a bit disappointed at how well Vettel came across. I feel bad not liking him now.

Just RR recycling the old stuff, same as they did when they based the RR Sport on the Disco 3.

I suppose it's aimed at the Yummy Mummies who feel a proper RR is too big.

Bloody Clarkson, nearly squishing them ducklings! :geek:

I enjoyed the show more than usual, I know people are always saying its going down the pan and just becoming more and more egotistical bullsense but it still never fails to make me laugh so can't be all bad in my book. Seeing as I don't drive I watch it for the comedy...and the sexy cars they have on there at times :smt118

Its 10times better on BBC HD! If you havn't got freesat or sky HD get it, freesat is easy, just plug the box into your sat dish, no need to repoint!

Really? Ok i watch it in HD because i can (Freeview HD Panel) but its not 10 times better. Its still just as good in normal Def.

Last night was a bit weak but i was still laughing throughout. One thing that i did find interesting was when he was showing the differences is brain power driving a F1'esqe car as opposed to a fast road car around a track. Just goes to show what it takes to be a racing driver.

And another ting, i thought that Clarkson with his Pink neckachief looked like a Gay Tom Sellick(sp?)
