Mine will brake pretty heavily when needed.

Flintoff on top of the Bentley - he just doesn't give a fvck does he?!
I think the 3 of them work really well.
Bentley have fucked that up though - far too Audi for my taste now.

You settle up, I'll go get the Jag.
Re: New Top Gear
I liked that Bently. Reminded me of Steed's Lister Jag in The Avengers for some reason.
Cheers.

I liked the Bentley too, despite knowing that I would NEVER consider owning one - even if my Euromillions ticket came up trumps.
Re: New Top Gear
Aye. Flintoff is pretty fearless. And like you I enjoy watching the three of them. Frequently make me laughtim wrote: Mon Oct 26, 2020 10:30 am Flintoff on top of the Bentley - he just doesn't give a fvck does he?!

Regardless of that he'd be classed as a 1st pick for your team in a competitive environment because of this attribute.

My youngest was complaining that they didn’t do a full Mr Bean job - since he was able to steer n shizzle from the roof..... 
Re: New Top Gear
Good episode
I feel like there's always at least one where they let CH do what he wants in a series. Nice Moss tribute.

I'm ok with the format. It is the only live tv program that we all as a family sit together and watch, my 13 and 15 year old kids sit and laugh togetherspeedingfine wrote: Sun Nov 01, 2020 10:01 pmThe two minute review of the Honda E was ok but the rest was definitely not for the likes of us![]()
