Jeremy Clarkson was here in Oslo! *huge spoiler alert*

(note: they wrote "SLK" instead of "SLR", on the map when they named the car ...)

Headline reads: "Raced from London to Oslo"

text reads (roughly translated):
"This is a lovely car. I have heard some hotelchain owner owns one of these here in Oslo.
I have raced vs. public transportation, and won! In 24 hrs., I have driven alomost 1300 miles, ca. 2100 kilometers.
Everyone knows public transportation sucks, and I want to prove this with our "competitions" in Top Gear."

(While Clarkson took his SLR from Heathrow through the chunnel to France, via Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway - his competitors took a flight to Newcastle to Kristiansand (Norway), and in Kristiandsand they hired a speedboat, but was still beaten by Clarkson.)

Clarkson laughs: "they went out of gas two hrs. outside of Oslo, now they are stranded in a small town without buses and taxis, and money" images/smilies/lol.gif

He continues: "I'm going home now, and have been in Norway for two hrs. I can't smoke anywhere around here, so I might as well go home.

Interviewer: "Are you meeting up with the hotel-owner?"
Clarkson: "I don't have any such plans, he probably won't let me smoke in his hotels anyways" ... images/smilies/lol.gif

Not something I wanted to know images/smilies/sad.gif

MixtriX · May 1st, 2005, 1:31 PM

maybe u should put "Spolier" at the beginning images/smilies/smile.gif

its pretty obvious who was to win though

Blayde · May 1st, 2005, 1:36 PM

yaeh aftr doing it twice before he probably knew before he even started he would beat em images/smilies/biggrin.gif

metz · May 1st, 2005, 1:59 PM

Too bad i didn't see him :p

Buba · May 1st, 2005, 2:09 PM

Ah, well, some mod should edit the spoiler alarm in... Even though it was crystal clear he would win...

I really thought, this time its an M5 or M6 for their competition... After all, the SLR is a 2003 car, not 2005...

//edit: I wasn't aware he is a smoker...

Mischief007 · May 1st, 2005, 2:17 PM

Damn, nice but I shouldn't have read it images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

sry guys ... I thought the Spoiler warning was enough images/smilies/bangin.gif

I LOVE it when Clarckson prooves a car is better than public transportation. images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Of course it's faster, but not necessarily better. A train for example uses only electric power.

really looking forward to the show...

haz · May 1st, 2005, 6:54 PM

me too

leif · May 1st, 2005, 6:56 PM

who acres about the spoiler...as if clarkson wouldnt win...if he lost there would be a coverup to rival roswell.

this makes me vary happy....as these segments are my very favorite...and they went to my fatherland! although it sounds like clarkson wasnt too impressed..maybe a few leggy blondes holding the checkerd flags would have changed his mind!

jensked · May 1st, 2005, 6:59 PM

I doubt it they would air it if the car doesn't win

JC is too much a petrolhead for that images/smilies/twisted.gif

Phix · May 1st, 2005, 6:59 PM

Cool. But an SLR? images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

And Clarkson smokes? Wow.
