new top gear sneek peak

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

An amateur drone pilot was stunned to find the sports cars he was filming were being driven by the new presenters of Top Gear against a gorgeous scenic backdrop in Scotland.

I'll pass on the sneak peek if that's ok. The only thing that I can think of that's worse than Clarkson is Evans. Makes me want to stick hat pins in my eyeballs.

Clarkson's top gear was getting boring and repetitive (some of the specials were worth watching for the scenery alone). I can't listen to breakfast on radio 2 because Chris Evans is so annoying, I can't imagine he will tone it down for Top Gear so I don't think i'll be wasting my time watching it.

Couldn't have put it better myself - I agree with every word of that.

That'll be two of us with lins in our eyes while this program is on!

4... :lol:


I'll stick with Clarkson, Hammond and May, courtesy of couchtuner.eu :oops: Amazon. For motoring-related entertainment, I prefer the excellent (but why, oh why is it always on at stupid o' clock?) Motorbike show, new series starting this coming Spring on ITV4, plus anything on Motors TV (Freeview channel 240) and the Red Bull channel (accessed through the App menu on Android & WebOS television sets). And there's always 5th Gear, but that's looking more & more like TG, circa 2005, without the funny bits.

Come again? That sounds like one of the scripts of the late Stanley Unwin.

I fear I will wear out the Mute button on my TV remote very quickly once CE starts spouting ...

Motors TV is accessed via something called a television set. These television sets can be used to look at moving images provided by something called Freeview. Freeview assigns a short, numerical identifier to each of the individual sources of these images a.k.a. channels, sides, stations, etc. That identifier, in the case of Motors TV, is 240. Typing in the numerals 2, 4 and 0 with your remote control device will connect you to moving images of cars, usually 1970s Fords being driven rapidly into walls at various rural locations across the water in the Emerald Isle.
As for the suggestion that I was speaking Unwinese, sure & I couldn't hope to compete with your skill in that form of communication? :lol: ;)
