Well, if I can afford one, I can probably afford two.

Thus meaning I'd have a DB9 coupe, and the F430 (haven't decided on Spider or not).

In this dream of infinite money, I'd get the F430 Spider, and then a Challenge Stradale version if it's ever released.

Poor Hammond, that fat ugly blonde liked him
I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if she was from that creepy site Hammond Heaven. She looked kinda familiar. Think I might have seen her on a picture there.

EDIT: yup, I was right. Read'em and weep. I feel SO sorry for the guys having to face those girls every other show (yes, literally. Damn stalkers>_<)

http://groups.msn.com/HammondHeaven/...31169635196007

Otherwise, the ep seemed kinda bland indeed, and the supposed funny bits (James' rant about the Skyline, Jeremy & Richard arguing over the roadsters) seemed way too rehearsed for some reason. But it's TG, so I still had some laughs. But what exactly DID Richard win? I couldn't follow it completely.

Oh God... I wished they had removed that outburst by that horrid horrid woman from the show. What rubbish... If you shout out your stupid view then they put you on the tele? Dumb ho!

poor, poor hammond! JC was quite mild about the girl shouting, I've seen guys humiliated for less.
I quite liked the segment about the convertibles, just shows my point: convertibles never look nice
the pimped out C2: waste of money and time

Apparently the comments made by that group of girls and Jeremy's reaction to it (taking Hammond in the piss for it) got a lot more nasty and sexually-oriented See here, if you're in for a bit of a scandal:

http://groups.msn.com/HammondHeaven/...31031287829910

I can't believe Jeremy said that, nor that they haven't banned those girls from the studio yet. Give the poor guys a break, especially Richard!

I was quite surprised when James mentioned he wasn't in favour of the Nissan Skyline... However much James may have been my favourite host, I just had to grasp my broken heart and agree with Jerermy about a prescription gunshot to James' face...

Wow! That was a shocking episode by TopGear standards Very un-impressed by how friggin long they spent on those 3 stupid convertibes!! It was further ruined because I knew they would end up with the SLK because it was in the background after the F430 bit...

As for hammond and his fan-club...I feel very sorry for him. Total humiliation by that fat twat who wanted him and after reading some of the stuff they write in his fanclub, it gets you thinking, "Whats the nice way of saying to ur fanclub that you dont like them?"

As for the topic of convertibles, i'd take the Audi out of those 3 but to be honest, I would just work harder and get the Merc!

btw WHEN IS THE BENTLEY GONNA BE ON!!!?? DO NOT TELL US THAT IT'LL BE ON THIS WEEK AND THEN GET RID OF IT AGAIN BBC AARRRGGGG
