the_mouse_man Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Certainly showed how difficult those big HGV's are to drive.... respect to all who do it for a living. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MogLite Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Was it really necessary to keep mentioning "murdering prostitutes" Or use use porno mags as a prop, and a gag line. Its before the watershed, and its a program my 8 year old son looks forward too. Does Ann Robinson still do Points of View - or whatever - I want a word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I have to say, I wasn't that impressed with the "we've got trucks and we've seen Jackass" stunts at the end - although I didn't mind the constant references to dead prostitutes as much as the wilful destruction of a drumkit for no reason... They did work towards showing the hard work that goes into driving a manual heavy vehicle on the road in traffic though. There were some laugh-out-loud moments but I'm hoping the series is yet to get underway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame as it's unique and the 5 gear lot don't hold a candle to top gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame as it's unique and the 5 gear lot don't hold a candle to top gear. maybe - it was recorded on wednesday - post woss and bwand... yet they still went ahead with the comments. I thought it was quite funny as you say a couple of laugh out loud moments! - the porn bit I wasnt so worried about - it wasnt playboy/girl after all ! BUT, the dead prostitutes bit was a bit OTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Its not something you watch if you want any real info, its become very much a comic , and is so contrived , and trying to be modern (in the worst sense of the word) . The only real motoring part was the porche/ lambo comparison. It only got interesting for me when they decided that the third thing to hit was a brick wall, they obviously did not do their homework, and the shock on clarksons face , showed it. But is definately becoming more childish , shame as it was a really good show but another case of believing their own publicity.

Turbocharger Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I did like the fact that Clarkson's review of the Porsche GT2 was simply "WAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGH AAAAAAAAAAHHHH NOOOOOOOO WAAAAAAHH". It's a good strap line for any company to quote, I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nothing new - theres a RR 4.4 vogue on a forecourt near me 52 plate - 10k and they cant sell that either ! its interesting how all the aspirational wannabes who borrowed up to the hilt to have a flash motor are now having to go back to be focus or equivalent drivers.... perhaps disposing of all the heavy iron work was not such a bad thing for ford in the long run.... (and its gonna get worse from next year when the road tax rates go up even more !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pad Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 perhaps a little tastless, hardly worth making a big fuss over. You know what the score is with Clarkson, I cant imagine anyone watching it not knowing what they were in for. As with the Brand/Ross debacle, the only people who might feel justifyably (is that a word?!) offended are those in direct connection with the inferred comments.

Guest diesel_jim Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'll stick up for him too. It was hardly slander, as there has been lorry drivers who murdered prostitutes, just as there has been 4x4 drivers who do the school run.... and 4x4 drivers who churn up the countryside rambliars who wear bobble hats Honda Jazz drivers who are over 85 years old sat in the middle lane etc etc etc It's just a fact. Like has been said, if anyone takes TG seriously then they're mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Welllllllllllll. This topic just may veer horribly ON Topic on 27th Dec. KAM Diffs had to supply a load of 'special parts' for Top Gear For filming somewhere abroad (don't ask we might have to kill you when told ) and this was for some 4x4 jolly / nuttery event filmed in a Jungle, Its going out on 27th dec, much more than that I don't know, but it is the "Christams Special" so should be suitably 'Un PC' Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
