BBC Top Gear – Past its sell by date?

 

Going down hill?

Well, I have been eagerly awaiting the new Top Gear series and sadly….it’s pants! The jokes you can see coming a mile off and they are no longer funny, the “main events” of the program are now becoming quite banal and last nights bits about the flying caravan and the Lancia Stratos replica were just silly! How did we expect the caravan to land…a little like a basket under a balloon, I suspect. As for the stratos? Well, lets face it the Stig has the capabilities to drive really well when he needs too, or really poorly, in the “cheap” replica. I wonder what the manufacturer and the owner thought of their “destruction” of this nice looking vehicle?

A stonking motor if ever there was one...

The original won so much so quickly against “better” cars all mentioned in the program, but, then as normal they just ridiculed

the end of the article. It seems that they can only “take the p*ss” nowadays and not really entertain as they once did!

Nice link to a site though for some very evocative sounds…listen here
