    Top Gear trio go gardening

    Just read about this on www.topgear.com

    So no Top Gear of the pops this year, then?

    If you've got Top Gear TV withdrawal symptoms, then tune into BBC Two at 10pm on Friday March 14 to watch Alan Clarksmarsh, Jamesy Dimmock and Handy Hammond resurrect Ground Force for a Sport Relief special.

    They'll be taking over a top celebrity sportsman's garden for the day to dispense advice on creating a zero-maintenance lawn, installing an impressive water-feature and getting rid of unwanted plants.

    So that's Top Garden Ground Gear Force, BBC Two at 10pm on Friday March 14.

    Expect swearing.

    Alan Clarksmarsh, Jamesy Dimmock and Handy Hammond

    Creating an impressive water feature? This is probably going to end in a lot of swearing and possibly someones garden getting blown up. But it should be good to watch.

    installing an impressive water-feature
    This caught my attention, but I guess it is safe to assume things won't get terribly wild.

    ... I ask Herb Helbig, vehicle synthesis manager for SRT and a member of the original Team Viper development group since day one, if they'd ever thought of adding traction control. "It comes with two," he says, pointing at my feet. "Learn to use them." Got it.

    Let me get this straight....do you mean a PS that has internet connection? I have a PS2. How would I go about watching vids on the tv through the PS? Feel free to PM me about this as I am newish and I have no idea what this forum feels about off topic postings!

    For now, I am dling eps in avi format, converting them to dvd format and burning them. It is a 3 hour process for a dvd of 3 episodes and it's actually getting to be quite tedious If you know a better way, PLEASE help me!!

    Top Gears Top Tractor Showdown!

    Our Horticultural hero's test the latest in garden tractor offerings from Japan and America. The Kubota GR2100, Husqvarna YTH1848XP, and the Craftsman 917.276380. Jeremy likes the Craftsman for its big 26 hp gas guzzling engine, a full 3 hp more than the Japanese offerings in the class, and notes its huge wheelbase of 48 inches adds needed stability when mounted by fat yanks. However like everything American with the largest uncut circle radius of 55 inches it can't go around corners. James and Richard note that at only $2600 the Craftsman is great value for money, and then all three decide to settle the argument by handing them over to the Stig's Undocumented Gardener Cousin who takes them around a impromptu test track with points deducted for running over roses or damaging the new water feature. The loser has to pose naked in the middle of the fountain relieving himself and we finally see if Clarkson really has a big willie.

    A huge flame war then erupts on Final Gear on whether or not if Tiff had done the review for Fifth Gear if it would have been more factual and if the running over the cat was "scripted."

    They can come and do my garden. I'll kill the neighbors so they don't complain.

    Looking at the photo, has Hammond had his hair cut?
    I hope so, he looked ridiculous
