Would it be possible to put the BBCs version of Jessica(the Top Gear theme) on the website as well?
I remember you[bbc.co.uk/topgear] said in another topic that that version is owned by the BBC and you'd make alot of people happy if you were to put it up.

I've got lots of ideas/suggestions for the show and website, but I'm not giving them to you for free. Original ideas are thin on the ground in TV, so if you want some new original ideas for the show, you'll have to pay for them. Give me a job, then I'll give you some ideas/suggestions.

Just give her a M5, she'll stop bugging then...

I just noticed that I had suggested the idea of playing soccer here and they played it but a bit differently.

So people start flooding your ideas in

Whats strange about wanting to charge for ideas? Ideas are worth money, only a fool would give them away for free. If you don't agree
with me, then tell your boss you'll work for free from now on.

wooflepoof · August 27th, 2005, 01:48 AM

Well, you dont have too much credibility w/ the BBC. you said you have a few ideas? mebe give em a free sample

I'd like to see the Corvette z06 get more attention, as the cheapest supercar on the market, afaik. I'd also like to see the presenters do a budget car style series of challenges in their own cars, or at least each in the new car of their choice for a given market segment. (Similar to the cabriolet challenge in Iceland). As for the website, I'd like to see some form of searchable episode guide, maybe a better diagram/description of the test track, and maybe some relevant snippets from the magazine alongside the episode descritions. On that subject, more about the magazine should make it into the website in general.

Electrastar~Indochine · September 28th, 2005, 07:48 AM

^ By the time the Corvette reached Felixstowe docks the price would be upped to prohibitive prices that wouldn't make it the cheapest 'supercar' in the UK. The magazine is a separate entity, with it own (recently refurbed) website at tg.com. But yeah, I like the challenges. I enjoy seeing those healthy competitive streaks show their sometimes ugly faces!

Comparo of soviet-built death traps, former members of the Warsaw pact battle it out for most horrible car ever built in Europe

2stroke trabant racing - the only series where the car costs less than the fuel

bloody Valentino Rossi as a guest! (he lives in the UK and half last series' guests were boring)

The Therion · October 11th, 2005, 08:32 AM

Just a few commnets/suggestions for the show. feel free to add yours (continuing the numbering):

1. I realize its a sports car show mainly, but it has become popular in general.So, when ocassionaly they present a NON-sports car, its really indifferent how fast it does 0-60 and it is unfair to count it as a "minus"

2. How about some guest star suggestions ? I'd like to see (i havent watched ALL the episodes yet, so sorry if i mention someone that has already been a guest star) :

John Cleese (in fact ANY monty python member)
Adrian Paul (Highlander TV series)
Rowan Atkinson
Ewan McGregor
Joe Pesci (!!)
Famke Jansen

3. I like the Jeremy in a car VS the guys in public transport challenges....but honestly, the car only wins because they choose destinations that give a chance to the car.

4. The word "rubish"is used far too often. We dont know how much rubbish is it, form car to car. Surely they cant be all bad in the same amount. Beside....rubish ....for whom? For the sports driver? For the everyday driver? For the ä little of everything driver" ? For our mothers ?

5. Its a matter of taste of course, but there are some serious problems with the cool board. And dammit jaguars are not pretty ! (most of them). They WERe ugly, and they still are !

6. Is it me, or does Jeremy always favour the british car ?

7. I'd like , as often as possible, the 3 way review. Where each of them test the same car. Those are th best reviews, cause you get a different point of view from 3 different kinds of people.

8. Please DO give EVERY car that passes through the set, to the STIG for a lap time. Also a nice idea would be, to tells us a few os the STIGS comments about each car driven (very briefly, just bottom line).

BAN BAN BAN!!!

The Therion · October 11th, 2005, 01:52 PM

ok

the new XK is better looking

Labcoatguy · October 11th, 2005, 02:44 PM

Steve Jobs would be awesome as a guest, because 1) he rides motorcycles, which will get Jeremy's temperature up but 2) Jeremy loves his iPod, so he can't be all mean.

He,he, good suggestion

craigblock · October 27th, 2005, 04:23 AM

I'm probably totally on my own on this one, but I'd love to see an episode about the good old American land yachts of the 60s and 70s. I think it would be a hoot to see/hear Jeremy rip on the poor handling and all that stuff, not to mention how they'd look on their Power Laps! Just imagine a Cadillac Eldorado and a Lincoln Continental (forget the Bentley) in the hands of the Stig!
