Hammond is probably the least likable, to me. He is duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumb, even before the brain injury. You can tell he can't keep up intellectually with the other two and Clarkson is dumb as a sack of hammers already.

What I like about Hammond is that he's able to rattle off a string of extemporaneous invective like nobody's business. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_ZUKcI8gXw Carlin-esque.

And that obelisk burnout was totally not done on a closed road with permits, a poo poo ton of production staff, paramedic and police escort and crowd control? Or done on multiple takes to get cool shots of rubber burning? You mean to tell me that all the hub-bub is not a lame marketing ploy to get me to watch this show?

InitialDave posted:They're banned under legislation that dates to sometime like the early 1900s, when people were selling chocolate bars with the toy moulded into them, which clearly is a ridiculous choking hazard. As the wording is chocolate with toys inside, the Kinder egg gets caught by it. I remember a few toys like Asterix and Obelix figures - nothing as insane as a plane you can fly!

InitialDave posted:Noel Edmonds is one of the men of Top Gear. Yeah he and Evans have had a fairly similar career arc, albeit not in the same order - Radio 1 stardom, increasingly credulous light entertainment, poor business choices, public ridicule and unlikely resurrection, with some Top Gear thrown in along the way. Not sure who the 80's equivalent of Billie Piper would have been though...

Country roads like that are certainly nerve wracking. At night it's not that bad because at least you have headlights to spot barreling down the lane towards you. Daytime though? Yeah good luck with that. A friend of mine lives out in the countryside and the lane up by him has had huge 5ft deep ditches dug out either side of the single lane road to aid with flood protection and gently caress me is it off-putting. Shout out to Irish country lanes where every driver you meet coming the other way is living the rally car driver dream and going 90mph everywhere because they know the roads.

Yeah, we went to Ireland on vacation when I was in high school with my family, and no one would sit in the front seat because we were all convinced some rally guy would slam in to us coming the other way.

If that's the case it'd be more like drifting around the circle on Memorial Ave at the end of the Arlington Memorial Bridge, which frankly would be awesome. Uhm this is a great idea.

I did a road trip through Ireland last year (I'm American), Dublin-Cork-Kilkenny-Shannon-dingle-that windmill-cliffs of mohair-Galway-Dublin over 4 days. Some of that driving was terrifying, and other drivers seemed suicidal. At the airport Hertz tried to upgrade me from the tiny clown car I picked and I refused, wanting the smallest car possible, which really confused the dude at the counter.

Wasn't the last time a US car show tried an endurance race The Car Show with Adam Carolla and Matt Farrah? That show as so bad they only ever made one episode. Also they crashed 40 minutes into their race. I remember they tried to cram too many segments into one episode.
