Kamikaze Clarkson. lol!
Well speaking as somebody whose interest in cars is only slightly higher than their interest in gout, for example, I'm in it almost purely for the laughs and character interplay. I actually find that who I'm rooting for to win on any given challenge very definitely depends on which of the trio Kate accuses me of being the most like on that particular day. Smile

I have to admit, watching Hammond and May attempt to communicate with those hand-held translators was quite amusing. I never quite understood why some of the locals stood up and shushed Hammond while he was on the phone with Jeremy on the train. Was it because he was using the speaker feature?

It's terribly bad manners to talk on the phone on public transport in Japan... I know - the country that gave us the mobile phone has the strictest etiquette and I for one - admire them for it!

Agreed. Many's the time I've wanted to rip the mobile from some inconsiderate twerps hand and toss it out the train/bus window.

But if I did you'd only make me buy you a new one...

Next week's episode looks pretty good. It looks like we're in for some sort of road rally challenge featuring some classic luxury cars. James May should be right in his element.

Some say he evolved on Mondas and has a cold mechanical appliance where his heart should be. Others say he's never been the same since that fateful appearance at TC-7 in the 1980s.

All we know is he's called the C=OStig.

So I'm doing a search to see if I can find out some information on the American Top Gear production, and quite by accident, I find this:

Top Gear In America

I found that rather enjoyable.

The new series starts on the 21st. First up is a race between the Tornado, a vintage motorcycle and a classic car, apparently.

Guess who's in the train.

Now guess again, because it isn't May.

BBC Canada is showing Top Gear five days a week, starting from the 2003 season onwards, with the latest season episodes being shown on Thursday nights.

I finally got to see the supervillains race, and why exactly they have the Toyota truck in the studio.

Seeing the Stig in black was wrong. Just....wrong.

Ok.

I am at work, and I hear the words, 'Don't you watch Top Gear?'

Turns out my Supreme Commander, who rides a motorcycle, has a white helmet a la the Stig.

Will you now be attempting to sign up Schumacher for a guest appearance in your next panto?

And they did reveal the Stig last night...there's a regular Stig for races, training celebs for SIARPC etc, but as the Power Lap times have become more and more important to manufacturers the 'Stig' for most of the fast cars they test is a test driver from the company in question. Given that the task of the FXX is to obliterate the competition, it makes sense that Ferrari sent the fastest test driver they have available to put on the white overalls for the day.

That's what I've been saying for years, Councillor, but nobody believes me. They send their test driver to drive their very expensive cars.
