Random Thoughts (Top gear Edition)

Is that the one where Jeremy described the 4.6 as being made from pig iron and volcanic rock?
 
I knew of their bias, certainly - but that was a particularly blatant one.

And don't get me started on Jeremy's The Good, The Bad & The Ugly DVD. The one where he says that the Roush Mustang is a good all-around car, and then compares it another good all-arounder - the Lotus Exige. :rolleyes: And races a base Mustang V6 convertible against a horse - while claiming that it's a V8 model.
 
Yeah, they don't come off as very knowledgeable or consistent in their biased views. As a Corvette fan, I always found it laughable that they talked about the Corvette having "rear leaf springs" and being made of plastic, which somehow never applies to carbon fiber cars, which are not plastic how? Or how they always point out cars with rear mounted transmissions that help weight distribution, but conveniently fail to mention that Corvettes have been doing that since 1997 or whatever.

In the end it's all just entertainment that has little resemblance with reality.
 
Just watching 10x01 and finally noticed what I think is that car in the burnt picture Jeremy shows to the guy who says it's an Audi:

It must be a Seat Ibiza:

It looks like I found the exact same picture too! :D

Edit: Something else I noticed in this ep:

Some say he gets paid in strong pornographie.

But sometimes it isn't just enough, so he does the new Mercedes S class revealing

(Skip to 1:14 )
 
They should add a dirt rally track to the one they do their laps on.
More F1 drivers.
More Nascar drivers.

Kill the star in a reasonably priced car segment. Do just 1 episode in the season where a bunch of celebs drive the fastest cars of the year.

I'm reading Born To Be Riled:


To a great many people, Top Gear presenters have very possibly the best job in the world, Free cars, club class travel, no repercussions when you crash and large dollops of fame, fortune and fois gras. So i'm sure many readers are perplexed as to why i've resigned.

...

I pity James May, the man being touted as my replacement, He has been lured by the promise of untold riches, of motor-industry obsequiousness on a biblical scale and of bathing in an intoxicating mix of public adulation and Dom Perignon. But he has not considered that his drive from England to Pebble Mill will means getting through Kings Heath. (Which he earlier says is worse than a Columbian earthquake struck town)
