Car: Toyota Corolla. Rawrr. LFS Status:  Rep Power: 21   | Hahaha he's right too; People here are so picky no matter how good an episode has been there'll be someone ripping it apart here. Nice article, it's nice to see just how much he cares about the show. Looking forward to the episode more now.

Car: 2006 MY07 Astra SRi Turbo Rep Power: 74 |  So very true - some people are never happy. I'm sure the show will be every bit as amusing as it promises to be. I'm also a bit blown away that Andy reads our crazy rantings.BTW,  Andy, and congrats to Viper & the Final Gear family for getting the site to the point at which the TG producer checks in on us.

Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 233 | *makes a huge grin* I'm very happy this site that started out as just a couple pages and a couple hundred views a month has grown into the site it has. And he has a point -- someone here always is complaining.

That's why I don't mind that much if a series is shorter than expected. I'd rather have 6 quality shows than 20 middle of the road ones. | |

That's seriously awesome. Glad to hear our little community is growing to this extent of exposure. Only good things to come from here on out. Oh and if Mr. Wilman sees this thread... it's all just constructive criticism, mate. .

Rep Power: 0 | Very cool indeed. I've checked these forums for all my Top Gear news and speculation for a while now. I've never been compelled to register or post. Glad you've got some recognition for the community you've created here. Being from the U.S., I can't wait to see what Jeremy has to say through the travels. Always a good time being berated for our cars and our excesses. Now if only I didn't have to download large files from the interwebs to take this abuse. Cheers. |

Car: Toyota MR2 Mk1, Toyota MR2 Mk1 SC, Peugeot 309 Rep Power: 19 | Wow! That's really cool! I must say that as someone who has seen this forum mature into what it is now from some humble beginnings (I vividly remember the thread where we chose the new name for the site, as well as the original colour schemes!), it is really nice to see this site getting some recognition and seeing that the people who produce one of the best, if not the best (IMO), shows on TV at the moment listen to our comments. When I take photographs/videos, Top Gear is one of my inspirational guides, it's interesting to see that they in turn possibly draw some inspiration from their fans! Just a shame no one from the show could supply us with Hammond's head size for his helmet when we needed it, or a delivery address... And on a different note, I'm now looking forward to this episode even more! As it was I already wanted to try even for a placement position on Top Gear... Hmmm...
__________________ Yup, two too many cars, but I love 'em: 1991 Peugeot 309 - owned it for four years, currently the only runner and the daily driver... but great fun to drive! French though, so gotta treat her rough to keep her happy. 1989 Toyota MR2 Mk1 - owned it for two years. Love it loads. Currently undergoing a suspension upgrade... 1987 Toyota MR2 Mk1 SC - A project car that had Headgasket issues when I bought it. I've never driven it... yet... |
