Jeremy Clarkson Quote - Motoring Section of Today's Times

[BoyzToyz]

Reviewing the Noble M12 GTO-3R as one of his best 25 cars, Jeremy says:

"In a world obsessed with image, you can't beat Porsche. But in a world obsessed with time, a Porsche is a Library. A TVR is the internet. And the Noble is Broadband"

Yeh, agreed.....my Internet is hit and miss and very often won't work

[VictorMeldrew]

So Broadband isn't t'internet? What the hell is it then?

Can't help thinkinj JC didn't quite get that one right, on more than one level.

The internet is an Inter-network, or a WAN (wide area network) it's a collection of computers hosting a collection of files for you access.

Broadband, is your connection to the internet via your ISP (internet service provider) they are connected to the backbone of the internet.

So he's not got it wrong there.

Sorry if this has gone right over my head and i'm teaching you to suck eggs

[Buffoon]

Internet is a hotbed of pawnographatical yumminess. Show me something sexier than a Tiv.. Case closed, JC was right

[BJWoods]

i'm guessing, not a nice comment..

ie he meant dial up.

[R PEIIY]

Who cares about his comments? the man's a buffoon - end of...

[Buffoon]

JC, Me or Both

[R PEIIY]

I just KNEW you were gonna come in there! - sorry, mate I meant he was an attention seeking, obnoxious bean-pole

(hopes theres no bean-poles offended)

[randlemarcus]

So how do you get pr0n from a TVR then?

[SEN 18]

Could not resist it. Clarkson can not tell his arse from is elbow.Postman Pats cat Jess could do much better.

[Columbo]

lol!!!

So a TVR is one of teh most important things in modern history but a Noble is just a step on the way to TVR.

Did I miss something...who said that?

[petclub]

Reference to the OP I think, the internet being very important, Broadband is just a development really.

But, TVR got a mention, think about all those that didn't even get that.

Let's run him over with a really fast TVR and say they've just brought out an new 8MB super fast service to rival the Noble service. That'd shut him up. And probably kill him. Praps we should scrap the idea....

TVR = Slightly unreliable, full of character, fast as fook.
Noble = Fast as fook, not quite so unreliable, but a bit bland in the styling compared to the Tivs in my opinion. Still damn fine cars tho.

I remember when Noble 1st come out and the engines kept blowing up. and most ppl would not have one if they was free.
