Re: New Top Gear
You have to guess Schmee has one hell of an Insurance Excess Reduction policy to cover himself in all he borrows?

Interesting, and a reminder that teacher's pay sucks arse.
In a similar vein, LTT did a breakdown (without hard $ numbers) of their revenue.
At 6:38 it shows direct YT ads on LTT is about a quarter of their income.
Re: New Top Gear
It was alright as an episode... i laughed a lot more at the 24 hrs in a car than then May and Hammond did it.

The only thing that annoys me is him using American "zee" instead of zed. Otherwise I'll happily wallow in Canuckian mellowness.

Re: New Top Gear
Dare I say it, they've started listening to car guys. Last week they showed the fast lap and this week they repaired the Focus RS rather (well, after) than just mindlessly destroying it.
Re: New Top Gear
Annoyingly I watched it live (cos there were several bits I wanted to fast forward.
Some more analysis of the Diablo loss would have been interesting - along with an acceptance they were always considered spikey (which is why I think I never really desired one). And they could have given the owner an opportunity to kick Paddy square in the stones on camera too.
Good that they repaired the Focus. Maybe this was Monkey’s influence, as he has been quite active on twitter tonight.
For examplez
Re: New Top Gear
I guess they're just not prepared when stuff goes off script. Wait, they had lots of footage of all those caravans accidentally catching fire???!!!?!!!!??11111
Re: New Top Gear
The MOT history on those supercars was almost as interesting as the piece. The Countach was basically never driven so the owner must be pissed! Not used in years then leant out for a TV shoot and binned. Wonder if it at least had new tyres as it looked pretty wet there.
The Ferrari was rolled back and the subsequent mileage increases point to having its speedo cable unplugged.
The XJ220 had no readable speedo years ago

How about not having a sig at all?
Re: New Top Gear
That was good fun. F40 gorgeous but it did look like even Harris was tight fit.
Re: New Top Gear
XJ220's real speed probably 175-ish? Then using a Vbox in the next piece? Bit odd.
Wall of death bit was interesting but about twice as long as it needed to be.

Re: New Top Gear
That much power I imagine it was an easy 190+, in the end, credit for driving a 30yo Jag that fast.
Re: New Top Gear
They didn't linger on the Diablo thing... is that because it was an accident on a public road maybe?
Paddy's running commentary leading-up to it was perfect if you knew what was coming.
