Will not - but produced from an archaic version of it which was woll not.

Woll not => wonnot => won't.

Reminds me of what my instructor in the Marines used to say.

"If your going to have an accident stop, you can't have an accident if your stopped, you are involved"

Glad I never had to find out.

How times have changed or areas. In Bristol mine is 1 x slopped + 9 leveled kerb stones as we meet the neighbours drive so no need for a 2nd slopped one this cost £650 for the slope and kerbing and the councils bit.

The drive however cost 3k, we did get them to do it in the winter. So was cheaper

The old school staged everything as to be expected but the humour and sense of passion caried right into your living room , this didnt or doesnt .

Chris is proberbly a nice bloke but hes lift music in a world full of rock bands , he created pantomine of our top gear with the tirade of crap such as `thanks to the lake district ` .... What ? does he not know the cars are the main stars you bounce off not the other way around ?

Matt is okay i guess but once again hes not mr personnality

Sabine is lovely as always but where is she ? shes one of the only redeaming features of the new line up and shes not around

The formats always been critiqed as stages and stale but man it looks refreshing of old compared to the new version . The atom drove into the back of truck to end the feature ...... thats an ending ? is that really the very best they can come up with ?

Not going to three and think my days of top gear are now over for shame . I always loved having out kid come round and setting myself up with a fresh coffee and the volume on 11 every week . Those days are now gone

2/10
