Re: Top Gear
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.

Re: Top Gear
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.. |

Re: Top Gear
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

Re: Top Gear
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?

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

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