Top gear.

Have just mailed Top Gear asking to see some Seven related content that doesn't focus on Caterham or Westfield. Anyone else fancy a go?

Sorry for being so sad, but it's my favourite show.

It isnt really in the vain of Top Gear to feature cars that the average person can afford - unless they are ridiculing them, that is.

Personally, i dont like the program, or the presenters.

But, if they were to start featuring reasonable cars, then i would be delighted to put up with the presenters (probably on mute).

Just my opinion, i wouldn't expect anyone else to agree, as there seems to be this 'Top Gear is cool' image/idea that everyone wants.........i stand to be corrected - as always.

i mailed top gear a few weeks ago - when i bought my 2nd sierra, it came with a cassette of irish drinking tunes on - a genuine copy - so when anyone was taking the sierra out for a spin (legally of course!!)- it was a rule that this casette had to be played.
i mailed top gear, as i thought the stig would appreciate this kind of music for the track, but heard no reply.
big fan of jeremy and the lads!
i know what you mean, it would be nice to see an affordable sportscar that they dont tear into - i cant see why they dont look more into locosts etc...

Wasn't it the last one last week?

They complain about the plastic in cars looking like plastic so a Locost should be right up their street, it's bare metal mostly. Hammond used to do Kits 'n Cruisin' on Granada so he should be up for it. Clarkson wouldn't fit in one the great bloater. He's getting like the Llewellyn-Bowen of the car world these days anyway, doesn't want to know if it's not in the 6 figure price bracket.

yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Either way, whether you like the program or hate it, surely no-one here's gonna object to a little Seven action. Besides, shy lads get nothing.

It's very strange Al as you have almost duplicated my email to TG! But as JC's birthplace is less than 5 miles from MK - don't you think it makes sense?

I would rather watch Top Gear than an awful lot of other programmes I havent got time to watch
But having the Cateringvan R400 on the sub zero cool list is probably risque enough for them as it is

They've already had the XTR2 on there:

I seem to remember that Hicost wrote to them awhile ago to offer his services!

Would be cool to see some L'Builders on there!
