He dosent have a clue what he is on about:

Quote:

Season 1: Episode 7
Hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May purchase three hatchbacks for under £1,000 apiece, then determine which is the most reliable by falling asleep in a very small garage with the engine running.

Does he not know that James wasnt in series 1?

Viper, I can safely deduce that (without making a fool out of myself)

Our forum members are way too serious when it comes to Top Gear :p

How many women can a minivan attract? Jeremy, Richard and James leave their vans (which have been modified with lleather jackets and patches of chest hair) outside of a popular nightclub and see which vehicle gets dry-humped by the most women.

Fenrir · August 17th, 2008, 09:05 PM

The one about running over scientists made me chuckle

Elvis313 · August 17th, 2008, 09:43 PM

the leather jacket and chest hair thing sounds like something they would actually do

This is hilarous, thanks for the up. I think I might be reading Something Aweful a bit more if they come up with stuff like this.

The Forum is like 70% of what makes SA genius..

Actually the bit that made me chuckle the most was "some of the finest humor to come from the United Kingdom since Coldplay's last album" - that Chris Martin guy takes himself way too seriously.

And as for his wife, given her acceptance speech at the Oscars, I'd love to be a fly on the wall to see her reaction when Chris tells her how much he really enjoyed the dinner she just cooked him. She'd probably spend half an hour thanking all the people who grew the ingredients, made the utensils, stacked it on the supermarket shelves and delivered it in a refrigerated van etc. Imagine having to sit through that and then having to do the washing up!!!

Moony_Lover · August 18th, 2008, 12:27 PM

Lol that's hilarious! I liked the one about having to measure the tideline after dunking the convertibles in the water xD

Susurrate · August 18th, 2008, 09:04 PM

Freaked me out there a little bit seeing my name on the front page, I might have to do a screen capture and get it framed.
