echoplex posted:I suspect Clarkson secretly likes those cars. In one of his specials he refuses to drive a Noble as he says he cant do it justice being he would nitpick about the air conditioning and color of the leather, being he is so used to companies who probably spend more on designing a shift knob than the noble team spent designing the entire car.

Muffinpox posted:So I take it you've never actually listened to any BEP because she literally sings like that in a good 80% of their tracks? Also consistently wears more clothes than that video in the BEP videos? Reading this thread made it seem like Will.i.am sat there pretending to care but his interiew was pretty interesting, I'd say it was just average at worst.

Crankit posted:The bad part for me is Clarkson fawning over the guests and asking about their family lives or whatever it is they talk about, I always skip the talking and go to the lap (on iplayer). Having a Celeb talk about cars they've owned and going straight to the lap wouldn't be too bad, and then a mention of "And William has a new book about car design in all good bookstores". There are thousands of unassembled delorians including their terrible engine in California, warehouses full of parts when the company went bust. Buy a "new" delorians for around 20k.

sbaldrick posted:This is a moment that at least to me comes off as scripted. If there is one place in the US that knows everyone in Top Gear, it's a NASCAR event. I just moved from California to middle America, and you are so wrong. I asked a co-worker who was a NASCAR fan and he wondered if it was a copy of the history channel show.

Jut posted:No, they recycled the first segment from a Top Gear DVD and the SAAB was a low budget, quick and dirty tribute. I think they must be having real budget problems if they are rehashing old material. Going to India is expensive.

KozmoNaut posted:Clarkson will probably be in the Ferrari FF. Isn't that the latest greatest GT car? They would never race a Ferrari in one of these long distance super races as it would lose every time to reliability and having to stop every 15 minutes to refuel.

I'm going to say the thousand dollar car in the south. It's less about the cars and more about the relationship they forge with them. Not to mention it does not feel too scripted and really gives the impression it's just some friends hanging out. Ok I'm blocking out the cow.

webmeister posted:I was going to mention it, but I think that special was let down by such a weak second part. The first part was amazing, and I remember getting really excited for the second part, but it was just a complete and utter letdown. The first 5 min of the second half of the Nile special made me pee my pants laughing. That whole "things got a lite crazy last night but everything is ok now" followed by the cars all have pieces from each other is the perfect delivery.

Rudager posted:Probably would be fine for temporary patches to tiny, tiny pinhole leaks, but anything bigger and you're relying on an egg to not pop straight out when the system heats up and pressurizes. I've seen multiple quarter inch size holes be fixed in a pinch with some raw eggs. Is it permanent? No, but protein is an amazing glue and the structure of a radiator lets it grip really well. You could probably get a few hundred miles of highway driving out of an egg fix.

meatpimp posted:This has been hashed and rehashed. Guy was a little bitch for not doing his job, arguing with the boss, and running to the hospital for a split lip delivered from an out-of-shape, 55 year old man. To try to get money because his lineage was disparaded is simply another bitch move. I'm pretty sure your opinion of this guy and the acceptance of being punched in the face by your drunk boss for screwing up would be completely different if top gear was not canceled due to the incident.
