Our beloved Topgear under attack from "sensible" people

[Czar]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4432279.stm



one point I agree with is that driving into that chestnut tree was very irresponsible, but the whole episode with the toyota was awsome still the same

 

[DurocShark]

Now the BBC Two programme has come under fire from the Transport 2000 pressure group, which has called for it to be taken off the air and replaced with a show that promotes "sensible driving in sensible vehicles".

Honda Accords and Old Women?

 

[FrustratedUser]

Woah! Nuts.

Btw, is it Rallispec that has the website with TopGear episodes now?

 

[DivideBYZero]

Meh. They always get this. Top Gear is the ONLY British Car show that talks like real entusiasts do. Why nanny it all up? If you don't like it, buy a fucken PRIUS and drive away from your TV. Silently.

But you just don't underSTAND... it's like... it's on TV, and all these highly suggestible poor drivers are forced to watch it! And look at the huge rash of people driving their cars into 30 year old chestnut trees! My god, won't someone think of the chestnut trees?!?

The only "chestnuts" I'm thinking about won't need saving by these people.

This mentality fukcs me off no end. Only yesterday, a member of the Subaru Impreza Drivers Club get a spot fine of £30, and a document production order, because the Bacon boi thought the guys exhaust was a bit 'noisey'.

OF COURSE IT'S FvCKEN NOISEY - IT'S A SCOOB.

It'll be like Mad Max: "The last of the flat fours"

...So if someone smashed a car into a tree in your yard or tore up your lawn and killed plants you wouldn't be pissed?

I read the ARTICLE, if that's what you mean. Sheesh.

 

[notfred]

I guess they don't have 1,000-year-old redwood trees in England, so they have to worry about 30-year-old chestnut trees. Even the tree huggers in California wouldn't really care about a 30-year-old chestnut tree.

Sorry, I was just out screwing whores. I then had to kill her so that the money fell out again.

I learnt this playing GTA.

when a person hits a 30 yr old tree with their car they DIE, the tree is fine.

 

[Chadder007]

Those "sensible" people need to all go Die in a Fire.

The UK has gone crazy lately with their "protecting" of drivers by using freaking cameras everywhere, when it has really done no good at all. It has all just been for revenue and to not have to hire more police to get it.

ROFL.

I was like "wtf, how does the money fall out?" and then I read the next line. I'm tearing up. :thumbsup:

Ditto.

What's really wrong with it is they can't go 2 minutes without insulting the US. I understand it's fashionable in Europe to assume we're 300 million apeish George Bush clones, very uncivilized (compared to people who can't watch a soccer game without killing each other), but you'd think kids in the US wouldn't be so swayed by them - but then again, kids here like iPods, so I guess I shouldn't assume intelligence on their part :roll:

 

[zimu]

i can't get over this... how can they even think of removing top gear?!

 

[0roo0roo]

goddamned fuddy duddys. clarkson not patriotic? his puzzling gushing over every aston martin he gets his hands on seems to have something to do with it being a brit car meh and the swipes at fat americans.. seems rather british too
do these twits know top gear magazine is sold in american newstands now?

but yes, top gear is very very UK centric, mean they worship Austin Martin and Land Rover like men worship boobies.

Actually Europe's conclusions about the US are quite apropos. The problem is that they are also just as sheepish

It does, but have you seen his body? NFW his legs have any more girth, at the fattest point, than my baby finger, and he's got a comfortable little belly on him. A guy built like that shouldn't be criticizing anybody's physique.
