General Panda Cross rules!

General Panda Cross rules!

I promised myself I would not get all tangled up in another discussion regarding Top Gear..:D Even looking at things logically, the BBC obviously envisaged that more money could be had by using the same format, well we all know that just was not going to happen, this had already been done with Clarkson & co AND YES I DO GET THAT NOT EVERYBODY WAS ALL THAT ENAMORED WITH THEM. All that aside it was entertaining in a schoolboy/silly way. My wife still goes on now & again from the mists of time about certain episodes of daftness when an occasion arises.

In it's time Clarkson & co TG was the biggest global spinner the BBC ever had. Say what you want, but certainly had it fans in droves. Ach, time moves on, now & then my grandson & I have a giggle or two revisiting old episodes....:D
 
Thank god those days are long over! Chris Goffey and William Dullard wittering on about legroom and mpg.

Ah, mpg. Back on topic again.

Now, about those hopelessly optimistic Twinair fuel consumption figures...

:idea:

I know, let's teach one of those naughty Pandas a damned good lesson by pushing it off a cliff, or dropping a piano on it from a great height. (y)

I used to look forward to watching Top Gear of a Sunday evening, along with my wife at times, sadly that's not the case anymore. This lot just don't cut it. Blanc the yank I find irritating, as an actor right from the start I had the feeling he just didn't feel right within himself. The other two blokes I can handle, just. Schmitz on the other hand, when she makes an appearance, is so over the top, screechy voice, leering into the camera, highly irritating. But that's just my opinion.
Quite right Jim on that dumb loud mouth German bitch. Loves herself too much and when she's on I turn it over (except that idiotic 4x4 test) I'd gladly drown it and I wouldn't need paying. Strangely I prefer Le Blanc over those other two clowns. Top Gear it ain't, Top Crap would be better. Apparently Matt Le Blanc will not be doing a further series.
 
1st episode of the new series of Top Gear. Sabine Schmitz in a yellow Panda Cross, up a mountain (or was it a hill?).

What's not to like? The plucky little Panda even managed to hold on to its bumpers, which is more than the Suzuki Ignis managed. :D
That was no test. Just two overgrown sh*t heads showing how to destroy a car, just a shame that the "mountain" wasn't active to get rid of the idiots.
You can park a car in that German bitches mouth, I'd love too.

Wow! That's a bit harsh, I take it your not a fan of Sabine, I'm sure she's a nice woman and a hell of a driver! :)

I cannot abide her one bit. She loves herself too much, screams and screeches much too much and breathes God's air too much. I hope that when Matt Le Blanc quits she'll be shoved off too.
Suffice to say, if I was Adam and she was Eve, I'd be gay.
 
What’s wrong with you? He’s dreadful. Should never be allowed anywhere near a camera.
Totally agree, even that other round faced slob, can't remember his name, those two, that German female and Eddie Jordan should go and do one.

TG is and always was total drivel aimed at a viewership with a lower than average IQ, I found it unwatchable. Chris Harris’s own stuff on YouTube is pretty ok though I find
 
He's a personality-free zone. He's what you get when you ask an anorak-wearing, adenoidal car enthusiast what they want from a motoring journalist.



The utter spaff-fest over him on Pistonheads is almost embarrassing.



To be honest I’m more interested in the cars he reviews rather then him!
 
Unfortunately there are some on here falling into taking things personally syndrome. A product of forum/social media sites. I would never force my views on anyone & judge people by what they watch, at worst I find certain characters on television irritating, I certainly don't hate anyone I've never met.

My wife often watched Top Gear with Clarkson with me, just for some senseless escapism, & she is a lecturer in child psychology & youth studies. She has three degrees to her name, one a honors & one a masters. she also wrote a white paper for the Scottish government regarding children with special needs. Does that make her of lower IQ just because she chooses to watch a bit of nonsense just for fun?
 
I know my little Panda looks way better on Pitlochry high street than that Ignis did. Now I want to tackle that hill on the way to work.
