Pistonheads is the new Top Gear

[Scooby P1]

The PH journey story that TG stole.....
Made into an "entertainment" version of lands end to nowhere important before the sunrises!

Best feature: the lack of contrived, unfunny nonsense from the other two TG clowns.

Worst feature: the fact the back end of the new XJ looks like an uglier version of a Rover 75 mixed with an old Ford Scorpio!

However, they did save the best till last with the 959 and the F40 though. IMHO obviously.

Some say Clarkson lurks here...

[Haighermeister]

It wasn't stolen though. the PH'er who did it originally suggested to Clarkson it was done. And they took him up on it....

And there's a whole TG thread here somewhere

The new jag was mint! How can you not like moonlit dials and purple velvet!

[FishFace]

The Jag did look nice. Prescott walked all over Clarkson.

he did have a considerable weight advantage

[david_h]

I had to turn it over as Prescott was winding me up that much.

Words cannot describe how much I detest the entire labour government from that era.

Really? He shouted over the top of him, but personally I thought he just confirmed everyone's opinion of him being a complete (with respect to the swear filter) idiot.

I turned off the sound when 2 Jags started ranting too

After they stole my grass cutting machinery turned into snow plough idea i'm sure

[rallycross]

Prescot - is he mentally retarded? How did he get into government? He can't even construct a sentence!

[Scooby P1]

Why does Hammond have such a strange "I'm trying desperately to make sure this comment gets a laugh" voice that he puts on?

Best case of SMS (small man syndrome) of all time!

We need to plant a trap...

Anyone fancy crossing the Atlantic on a converted Flymo lawnmower?

If we see TG doing something similar next series we will know...

I noticed that when he was doing the cool wall.

[Scooby P1]

Re Nasa feature on TG, anyone who has worked with farm machinery also knows that crab steer is easily performed by any JCB loadall. And yes it is FUN!

Back to my previous subject matter though....Hammond looks like and is about as (un)funny as a 10 year old boy!

[Jayho]

I like the Jag's "Audi mode" I had a wee little chuckle. BTW Whats the reason all the BMW's are now cool? Have footballers stopped buying them? IMO I think that the Nissan Juke kinda looks funky and young... Not going to age well, but deffo a car thats grown on me. :P

[Baryonyx]

Yes, the "Audi" gag was spot on, funny but sad at the same time because it's so true. However, they were right about the Juke, it's a total abortion.

As he says.

And there's a TG thread already running here:
