I did love the launch control on that Lambo, awesome.

I missed the bit, I wanted to see, the first 10 minutes. Rolling Eyes

Bloody hell though, those tractors, funny as. Especially Stig falling off the JCB seat going round the track.

I know its been said before but i think it's getting worse! Confused

Only one informative car review (the Lambo) on the whole show! Thats got to be a record!

The rest is the the most stupid non car related things they can think of, pisses me off to be honest...

I do find alot of the stuff funny and i will continue to watch it but it does chap my arse how it's pretty much turned into an entertainment show that every man and his dog now watches. Rolling Eyes

Watch out, there's a nanny about:

Carol Bell, vice-chair of the Safe Trains Action Group said: "I'm not sure it's a good idea. I do understand the programme itself has been through something like this with Richard Hammond.

"But there's a poor woman who's lost her life, and her family is still injured. I just think it's a bit insensitive at the moment"


Oh, and the Beeb had better stop showing war films while our brave lads are out in Irag and Afghanistan then...

Steve.

You are right mate, about the car reviews that is.

I think the whole program, in this respect, went downhill when Tiff and Quentin left.
At least they used to give you some info on buying a 3yr old Focus (or similar) etc, which is the sort of information the average car buyer needs.

Yes, there is too much emphasis on the sort of cars that are out of most peoples reach, but still Bloody good entertainment. Thumbs Up

Because there are a hell of a lot more buttons on that Fendt 930 than on a Cessna 182, that's for sure Laughing

This is true.. Problem is, you get used to one make, then you get in another rig, and nothing is familiar! Joysticks switch, panels are moved .. and don't get me started on those touch-screen bloody computer systems! Brick Wall

2 that are really different and take a bit of adapting, are the Case IH 3394 and the Massey Ferguson 8200 its fucking wired swapping between the 2. ( the one richard hammond was in was a case STX 450 Quadtrack) One mighty fine beast of a machine ! allthough a little on the large side and no good for the narrow farm lanes around here.
cheers
