New Top Gear starting soon!

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Perhaps we are getting more value for our license fees though. Mind you, I doubt Dave could add any more episodes to their schedule, so they may not be buying 12 episode series in future!!

I'll probably watch though, it's a way to pass time until the "They're Not Actors" wrestling comes on - now that IS worth a laugh!

So, only 6 episode in which they could waste a Marina and not 12, the owners club WILL be happy! :lol:

It's only because there is a helicopter piano removal firm next to their track (and their French counterpart in the alps) ;)

Agreed, nothing really worth mentioning other than apparently the Vauxhall Astra is now reasonably priced. I could have missed it and not been bothered.

I spent the hour in the snug at the village pub taking part in the quiz with the usual team. I learned tonight that Adidas and Puma (Rudidas) were related until the brothers Dassler fell out, Top Gear wouldn't have taught me that. ;) Would it? :?
