Without meaning it, that was my point. One reason i HATE, HARE HATE hummers.. (Apart from the obvious) because every girl under 16 loves them (there a big fashion statment over here in Austrlia). Fashion....exhume to consume.
Hummers are hideous! They are like monsters on wheels..now how is that fashionable?! Haha I know nothing at all bout cars except that I hate big flashy ones
GRRRRRRR... Only kidding. Yeah Lord, I know that I have no experience, and yeah I do base my view on cars specifically on looks (and Top Gear...), but you have to remember the whole thing with the Estoque started with: Case. Rested. It is a problem I see, that I have never even sat behind the wheel of a car (not strictly true, I sat in the driver's seat of a DB9 on display for about half an hour but I didn't turn the ignition) which is precisely why I am gearing pretty much everything not to do with acting towards my driving lessons (4weeks to go!) so yeah, no hard feelings. Well, except for: That has just solidified how little I can trust you on a car's looks.
AC, this news is particularly hard-hitting for regular Top Gear viewers, like myself. [size=+7]RETURN OF THE MASTER?[/size] Ladies and Gentlemen, The Black Stig is back! This Video, Posted by the BBC, depicts the Black Stig emerging from the ocean, after his iconic death. He pauses for a moment, then runs a slalom round a pier. Two Stigs. One track. THIS WILL BE AWESOME.
Nevermind. I think that Hummers (the vehicles) are steaming piles of crap. The meaning behind that comment was lost (possibly in American/English translation). Carry on!
Oh, alright then. I thought you were being serious but now I know that it was sarcasm. Damn. My favourite tool turned against me.
Hummers (The vehicles) are terrible. List of my favorites includes: Ultima GTR: Ultimate customizable kit car Skyline GTR R34: Classic case of wanting what you can't have (In the US at least) 98-02 Chevy Camaro Z28: My first love Aside from that I respect anything that is purpose made and delivers an enjoyable experience for a moderate price.
Bah, so what? The premise of the stig was valid but after they started changing drivers and revealing who they were I lost interest.
lol, if it's something you enjoy then look forward to it. Do it all you want. But I'm not sure if it warrants size 6 or 7 font... =P
Top Gear WILL EITHER BE: 21st or 28th of June. Hasn't been confirmed yet. You mean the Botswana one? EPIC.
I think everyone makes too much fuss about who the Stig is. The whole point of the Stig is that YOU'RE NOT MEANT TO KNOW WHO HE IS. That's the fun of him. So why must everyone go out of their way to figure out who he is and put the poor soul who plays him out of a job?
Yeahh the botswana one And the American one!! AMERICAN STIG...hahaha Jeremy Clarkson is just hilarious 'top gear top tip..don't go to America' oh dear.
I agree. I would have liked for them to have kept the original stig around. That way they are putting all the vehicles on a level playing field (Conditions of the day aside)
*blows dust away* God, I go away for a few days and no-one takes care of this thread for me? [size=+4]Mysterious gull[/size] Time to party like its 1955: the gullwing is back. This is our first look at the Mercedes SLS, the front-engined supercar that’s set to replace the McMerc SLR later this year and, well, we’re speechless. We are quite literally without speech. OK, it’s only a sketch of the exterior, and it’s possible to make even a Daihatsu Terios look mildly sexy in sketch form, but we don’t care. It’s going to be awesome, isn’t it? First off, look at those gullwing doors, just like the 300SL of the 1950s. Merc is calling them ‘swing-wing doors’, but we know what they are. Proper gullwings, none of your half-arsed scissor-door efforts here. Now look at the long, blocky front end, at the swept-back GT-R style headlights and the SLR-like side vents. Nestled under that long bonnet will sit Merc’s 6.2-litre V8, the engine seen in the C63 AMG, putting out a hefty 563bhp and 479lb ft of torque. In such a lightweight coupe – the SLS will be primarily built from aluminium – that’s good for a 0-62mph time of 3.8 seconds (faster than a Corvette Z06, as quick as a Ferrari 599) and a top speed firmly in the 200mph region. Transmission duties will be taken care of by a new seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox – hence the flappy paddles behind the steering wheel – with four modes ranging from ‘controlled efficiency’ (only Merc could come up with that one) to full manual. Other Really Quite Exciting Bits include a manually controlled rear spoiler and an ‘AMG’ button, allowing the driver to instantly call up a preferred set-up, just like BMW’s ‘M’ button. Production is expected to start early next year, with a predicted price around £135,000. Before that, though, we’ll see the SLS in the metal at the Frankfurt show this autumn. It’s fair to say we’re a bit excited… Taken from the Top Gear website. I am NOT the author.
I'd rather sport a GINA from BMW: The body is all fabric, super cool look/feel to it. Winking headlights anyone? Seamless tails? Wonder what is 'under' the hood:
@ Lord Kyle. Yes, I think we mentioned this in the old Petrolhead thread. And, as I said before, I wouldn't want to drive something which, in a crash, would cause me to see the back of my own head. But I won't dispute that it looks, AMAZING.
