TOP GEAR NOTICE

[Welly]

Well I watched it last night and it was great

Loved the joking about that drink "poor some pussy on it"

[highlander]

I was in stitches at that whole bit.

Anyone else think that AMG Merc's engine sounded like a Harley? Never heard a car revving with that much bass before. I think it looks ugly though; not a fan of Mercedez-Benz cars in the looks dept.

The Ferrari "Fireball" Italia looked like a whole lot of fun though.

[Welly]

You'd need to be *very * friendly with your local tyre shop with that Merc

[steve_earwig]

...sounded like a Harley?

Potato potato potato...

[FarmerPug]

believe it or not me who alerted everyone about it missed it, and i have said the f word some times about it, i set it to record, but the clock on the dvd recorder was a bloody hour forward, so i got something on bbc2 at 9pm.
There is iplayer.

That engine note was awesome
Said to my lad though I thought someone was farting

I can see where you are coming from with the looks, but guess it barks back to the classic gull wing merc that was around in the 50's and for that, I do like it

[FarmerPug]

I like mercedes benz sportscars, and i now like the sls very much, if i have any critism its that the back end isnt properly finished, but drop one off on the yard and give me the keys, im sure id forgive it, there would be no tyres at all. I like its looks a lot, and merc interiors seem to be up there again.
The porsche, it really does look a lot like a beetle, if it flicked its hair back.

On the subject of Top Gear, I used to think that the whole Morris Marina Owners Club thing was just an ongoing joke they started, but apparently there are Marina ow ners out there that hold a grudge:

That's not the first time I've seen that in a Marina ad either...

[FarmerPug]

i seen it in an all agro ad also. They really were a heap of sh*t them cars.

[teamster1975]

Am I the only one with an 'old' normal telly?

Nope, our Panasonic is still working fine & I can't justify chopping it in while it's working (touch wood!)

[FarmerPug]

i have an old grundig tube telly in my shed, the aeriel blew down in the wind, and i havent bothered to put it back up as i intend to do a shed extension some time.

[plod]

I had a marina gt with the 1800 engine with twin carbs on it

Best, back seats ever! ever!! for shagging in

Me neither, (though Mrs Doggy looked very disappointed when I explained we didn't need to replace it for the changeover to digital).

[FarmerPug]

what will happen to the analogue signal after the digital switchover, which has not affected NI yet.

[highlander]

The analog TV signal? You won't get one; it won't exist.

They'll be re-using that part of the R/F spectrum (can't recall what it's going to be used for; probably mobile phone-related though).
