LOL at the drag race.
I think that's the point - fear is a natural instinct. Lose that & you soon lose the will to live.

A few accidents are caused by farmers, etc getting their plant grounded, OK.

But what can you say about old gits?

That was a rip-off of something Clarkson did years ago on the old format TG. I clearly remember him standing there and saying

"This is a fast car" and points at the Golf GTi that pulls up to the line.
"But this is a really fast car" as a new Diablo pulls up to the line.

The race is then an identical format as last night was. Not bad but I did see that about 18 years ago.

The problem back then was all the c0cks in GTi's went doing traffic light grand prix's everywhere and to quote in "cool street gangsta accent"

"Well Jezza Clarkson says my car is a fast car"

StevenM, can you quote my popst and insert that W@nker smilie above this line please?

I agree.

The Golf GTi WAS a fast car. In 1976.

Why do they keep saying it?

Just as an experiment, the hacks should ALL start saying that GTis are hugelu overweight has-beens & Audi TDSs are slow, smelly understeerers for yer grandad.

It would be sooo funny the see the darlings of the petit bourgoisie fall out of bed overnight!

Went to filming of TG this week funniest bit was Hammond and May winding up JC over Kristen ST off camera. Lambo LP640 (OMFG) looks fast whilst standing still

Can't believe that bird is the same age as Clarkson. She looked highly porkable.

It looked to me like the train bit was cut - presumably due to the crash a few days ago. Hammond made some comment about Clarkson jumping up and down and saying "it's toast" over and over but unless I sneezed and missed it that bit wasn't in the final cut.
