View Full Version : Top Gear and the little blue car
Was it just me or did anyone else find Clarkson in that little 49cc car unbelievably funny? :D:D:D:D
Wife thought I'd gone mad crying with laughter :p

It is, it's gorgeous. But surely the people of Wales know all about it. We should have top gear, England should have 'The History of Wales' ;)

Welsh Public service announcement.
For those of us in Wales who used their weekend until the last minute. By decree of ....me....Top gear will be shown at 7pm on BBC 2 Wales, and Long Way Down will be repeated at 11.20 (!) on Tuesday. Yes after the cheap to air 'Grumpy guide to romance' and the reality classical x-factor like program. 8 wannabe singers travel 15000 miles to...on no...8 wannabe singers jump through badly edited hoops, with d-list celebrities appearing in a desperate attempt at publicity.

Not a big Clarkson fan but that was right funny...especially taking the urine out of bbc politcal correctness.
But how did he get to run the engine inside?

I though the lil car was mad funny, knowing clarkson he just decided to drive through the bbc not bothering asking, lol.....the bit where he passed the news room how funny was that one of the more ramdon things I have seen! Oh the bit about Red Ken, ha ha thats the best idea of the way to deal with him, the guy is a ****.

Ron Wood was a suprise.Not quite the bumbling old f£rt with a drink problem he is normally portrayed as.
Interesting line of questioning ref the lack of hair loss in the Stones though.
Was JC trying to hint at something there?;)

It's repeated on Tuesday or Wednesday. I don't want to ruin it. But if you're not going to see it I'll tell you.

I did watch it, just cannot make the connection.
He said something like; " That's a lot of badge for your money"
A few people gasped in the audience and they looked at each for a second or two as if they had said something terrible.
Both me and the wife picked up on it.

Funniest part of the little car was right at the end when he was stopped outside the BBC at the junction and Dermot Mohnahan (I think it was) picked the back end up and turn Clarckson/car through 180 degrees to be pointing the wrong way facing traffic with no reverse gear.
Oh and when he was having a go at James May and called him homosexual. I wonder how many complaints that generated. Ron Wood, what a star
Oh and when he was having a go at James May and called him homosexual. I wonder how many complaints that generated.
But he only complained about being called beige! quality.
I loved the whole program last night from the RR droptop with the Bandit rider & group of fast bikes going the other way, through Cocking, onwards the whole show was top! When would you ever say that about Fifth Gear?
Oh & 1 mile vertical,
"Richard Hammond's coming to drive a fast car in a straight line in the North!" :lol:
