No. It's about the show actually. Now, at the chance of sounding a miserable twat, i think i feel a little rant coming along...
Is it just me or is it starting to go down the pan a bit? Don't get me wrong, i've always quite enjoyed TG, but it seems like it's going a bit 'silly'. It's like a boy's and their toys show-but they have shit loads of money to spend. The Star in the reasonably priced car is wearing a little thin, but it's these stupid challenges. Across Africa, that was ok, the 24hr endurance in the diesel BMW was quite good, but not all the time.
I'm generally quite an easy going guy, i can take a joke, have a laugh etc-but these buy a car for £1000 things are getting crap. Buy an Alfa. Fine. James's was actually quite nice looking, good nic etc-first thing Richard done-smacked the door. Constantly trashing his cars and stuff. I know it's a laugh, but it just wears thin. Basically they get a grand and just trash the cars, and for some, it is a shame. Then what was the deal with the concours? What on earth did they do to their cars....and if i was at the concours i'd be quite offended. It just seems like 'cos they're famous, they can throw their weight around and do whatever. I'd put a years wages on the fact they'd probably have to seek permission before doing the whole concours thing, but it's just not funny.
And that was it, the whole show-apart from the little bit about the Bentley was it? I was clearing up in the kitchen, so i missed the first few minutes.It's a shame, because it used to be good, but it just seems like they don't give a shit anymore, and they think as it's TG, people will just watch. When they start having decent reviews concerning cars that most people can really afford, not stupid amounts of cash for a new Audi, or getting a hard-on about another BMW M3 or equivalent, then it might be more watchable. I like a bit of 'exotica', but it's also interesting to see stuff about cars i may have the opportunity to own, or even just see in real life!
I dunno, perhaps i'm just having a moment-like i say, i'm quite laid back and will watch anything, but TG just seems to have gone downhill imo, and it's a shame.
Thats put the cat amongst the pigeons! I had to just get that off my chest. My Dad stopped watching it ages ago, and can see my point-but he also wanted me to point out to the forum (quite irrelevant really) , that his '91 Turbo has just passed it's MOT, first time, for the 6th year running. But saying that, it did only do 1300 miles last year... Old people eh? He's just bragging 'cos he know's i want another 480 and i can't have one as doing some hard-core saving! Bugger!
Is it just me or can others see my point?
Now breathe, and r...e...l...a...x

Obviously just a rumour tho i couldnt say for certain! Besides they were advertising for more people to sign up to the waiting list just a few months ago...
). The following week was funny, but a bit boring with them just driving their motors through London, and it was disappointing that they only done a little review of the GTR round the track...i'm sure Jezza could have given us a little more info on the car before his neck packed in-i would have been more annoyed if they hadn't have the GTR on the week prior. Would have been interesting to see how different it performed on the track with it's ECU un-restricted or whatever...thats clever. But there you go!
, and the German challenge....especially when that Kif's arm fell off 
It was a good episode, a bit more like it should be. Oh, and seeing the Stig beating the Germans in the Aston...very very cool Aston, but also being beaten up by Scouts, were all equally enjoyable
