People gotta lay off smoking the strong shit. Now.
I cannot even explain the sensations that I am living when I am inches from the side of the road , the car is sliding and the smoke from the tires inhales you.
In Soviet Romania tire smoke inhales you?
Yeah, rightSoviet Romania? :lol: We are more free than any nation in the EU.
Yeah, right
yeah , right , excuse me for not having a video camera every where I go that records everything I do. Also excuse me for not paying a congestion charge or excuse me for not having bus lane that clogs up the traffic like in England.
Also excuse me for driving on the correct side of the road , you know , like civilized countries. Also excuse me for the low driving tickets in case of an offence. Here also I would also like to point out that after 1990 russians come here, in Romania with a VISA , you know , the same kind that you need to go to the US.
Soviet Romania? SHAME , you have no idea what you are talking about.

Learn to take a joke.
Anyway if you haven't heard yet about the "In soviet Russia" jokes here are quite a few examples where you can see the resemblance http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/362.122587the car is sliding and the smoke from the tires inhales you.
that is not a joke. Romania does not want to be assimilated with those communists. The fact that in this episode they have presented a test drive for the dacia sandero on the tv in that pub is FALSE. NEVER has a russian tv show aired in Romania. That was intentional and caused a lot of anger in Romania because IS NOT TRUE. I believe that they came to Romania thinking that we have never seen a color tv but that was an official offense. SHAME for that.
The surprise landed on them , we are not that primitive as they thought. The top gear show was only 5 miles away from my city but decided to take the Transfagarasan higway starting somewhere else. I would really have liked it if they would come to my small city... Imagine a 150000 population with a car park consisting in over 30% BMW , 20% Mercedes and 25% Audi , all of which are premium brands. Also take into consideration the 5% exotic cars. Please tell me a city in the EU with the same care park then talk offensive to the romanians
Relax guys!

Polly was only making a joke regarding your rather interesting word order... key words:

Regarding the episode, I have to admit its the first one I see from TG. I was mainly interested to see their opinion about Romania but I really enjoyed the episode, the hosts are really funny and good entertainers, I almost forgot that its a tv show about cars. I'll most likely keep watching the new episodes.
I have to say the parts pointed out in the article I didn't enjoy either, probably because communism and Boran are not the things Romanians like to be remembered with. Also regarding the complains about the numerous gypsies shown in the episode, because of the "good" impression gypsies made since the join in the EU, Romanians don't like to be associated with gypsy people...
Also for those who want to see more of Romania, HeidiL made a new thread in the Off-topic section, there are some great photos there...
blablabla
Regarding the episode , 90% of what they have showed is in fact TRUE. I am not trying to send you a different image that the real one. But is FALSE the part with the russian tv show presented in that pub. IS FALSE and I do not care how funny or not it is. Also with the gypsies who are 1 million from a 22 million population. I like funny but do not make a mockery based on FALSE things. PS: also those people were just building a house or a shed and that women was holding a walking stick in her hand. I liked the episode , it put that road on the map for the whole Europe but I do not like the FALSE denigration of ANY country especially when it comes to communist claims.
As for my expression I must say that I used a metaphor , something that the german user might not get as they never use such things.
