Not that I'm aware of. If we did, it should only really come out once we've got bored of abusing Europeans, and that's not happening any time soon.

Yeah, that wasn't very good. I liked Hammond's seemingly genuine enjoyment of razzing his Mini around, and did manage a good solid laugh at the sight of the Jag and Roller running Simex tyres, but that doesn't help drag up the rest of it. I also wish they'd had the balls to have Hammond "accidentally" paint the Pakistani flag on his bonnet.

Yeah, if they do even a small amount of what was in Long Way Round, it'd be pretty interesting. I can see Hammond buying a Niva, May a UAZ-452, and Clarkson turning up in a 6x6 Ural

The Indian guys I work with found it all quite amusing, in the "Stupid white guys don't know poo poo" kind of way. Most people are pretty relaxed about it, the hand-wringling would have come from white middle classes. Also, as it's appropriate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RPf0SpIU9M In fact, if you're ever about people offending Indians with the traditional British sense of humour, just try some Goodness Gracious Me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdo79znnHl8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N17UkIrnjkI

I don't think he wants to know what kind of point-to-point speeds you can get out of a 1.2 Fiesta with a certain amount of determination and a willingness to utterly cook the brakes.

Also, if there's even the slightest possibility that it might offend, the Indian government basically has to complain, even if they don't give a poo poo. It's politics. If all the Indian guys I know thought it was dumb fun, I'll take that as a more reasonable barometer.

The pensions thing is all bullshit anyway. Even what they're complaining about is a killer deal compared to anyone in the private sector, they need to get some drat perspective.

But don't you see? He's just trying to build a car using parts of other cars as the major basis, and he's doing it in some industrial-estate workshop in a "meh" part of the country. You know, like Noble.

Just in case I'm once again experimenting with finding the cranium/humour Kármán line, I don't like Will I Am's car, and I do like Noble - though I still regard their move from the "£60k or so" market to the "£200k or so" market as being a dubious decision.

Probably like how The Young Ones always having a musical act allowed them the higher "entertainment" budget rather than just being "comedy". It'll be some kind of internal politics with the Beeb.

For a picture of how a Ford vs Jag chase should look, this is the equivalent scene from Stoppo Driver: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFeJAe4f9g0 I'm surprised none of the UK goons have mentioned Nissan's Sweeney pisstake back in the nineties: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9K_EkU9KZE Not entirely convinced the new film will be able to do better than that, frankly.

I've been rewatching the episode on iPlayer, and I'm pretty comfortable that, had Hammond just hosed off like he was told to at the start, the chase stuff would have been pretty watchable.

I'm just confused. Of course it's all scripted, but Clarkson's scripted stuff was enteraining and Hammond's scripted stuff was shite, so I would have preferred a different script. I still get the distinct impression that I'm going to enjoy the film less than the TG stuff regardless.
