![]() Since I don't have a TV-set or a TV-card in my PC I downloaded it and I just finished watching that episode. I think it's a bit better than the usual D-Motor-programme (I occasionally watch it at a friend's home) but Top Gear is still in a different league. Some bits were actually quite informative (for example how much such such a paintball tank costs or the differences between the Porsche and the Aston) as you would expect a german car programme to be ( ), but overall Sabine and Tim are racing drivers, not presenters, and Carsten is a textbook example of a german, whinging about everybody and anything (if it's just for the show I don't know but as all three are not really good actors/presenters I think it's his normal temper).

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | 1 thing i noticed when i watched the top gear v d moter part again was it was supposed to be filmed in belgium but nearly every car was right hand drive, most of the left hand drive cars in it only come in left hand drive(bowlers,9ff,corvette) all the cars in the double deckers race were rhd, all the cars in the drag race were lhd exept the 9ff & corvette if just seems weird that they shipped all the stuff from u.k. (now i know where my tv licence fee goes) even the company that spplied the tanks was from the u.k. |

Can anyone clarify this? I tried the search function but it appeared to be buggy - no results found for "jay kay". Then I went through this thread and found the above quote on page 6 but nobody else raised the same issue. Has it been answered on a different thread? If yes, please direct me to it since I cannot find it using the search function. Thank you for your time. | |

| "Tough shit, Jay Kay, looks like you came here and didn't beat Simon Cowell!" How much would you have wanted to see that? Granted, they could have been a bit more subtle about bending the rules for him, or just pretended that they didn't, but... | |

Well, maybe I am way too serious a person, but I'd be annoyed if I'd lost my bragging rights due to bending of the rules. I would get over it, but it would still hurt at first. I agree, it makes better television to make Jay Kay beat Simon's time. | |
