Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 237    |  You know you watch too much Top Gear when... ... you see a video of someone driving down the right-side of a road and you think to yourself "why is he driving on the wrong side?".  What about you guys? Feel free to fill in the blank.

Car: 1999 Hyundai Coupe 2.0SE Rep Power: 8 | Because my wife tells me I have started sounding like Jeremy Clarkson.  I have caught myself screaming "Why won't you work!" at the computer. Oh and I even used James' "That's a ticket to a festival of plastic death" at work once.
__________________ Understeer is when you're going along the road and you turn a corner, the car goes straight on - you hit a tree ...and you die. Now oversteer is when you drive down the same bit of road come to a corner, the back comes round - you hit a tree..... and you die. The thing to remember is that oversteer is best, because then you don't see the tree that kills you! Hammond That's a ticket to a festival of plastic death!

Car: 1990 Volvo 740 GL LFS Status:  Rep Power: 19  | You and your friends challenge each other to see who can find the best used car for under $1000, and take it on a series of 'tests'. You wear a white jumpsuit, white tinted helmet, and never talk. After watching [10x3] you immediately went searching for a Peel P50.

Car: 2005 Volvo S60 R Rep Power: 74 | When you get cut off by a bloke in a Ford Contour and you yell out "You fecking bastard and your Mondeo!" and then rant on about it for the next 8 miles, Clarkson style. Or say things like "bloke", pronounce it "stooped", call someone a "drunkard", and say it as "aluminium" "coup-A" or "saloon". /anglo-nerd.
