Now THAT I'd pay money to see.
The look on their faces may well end up something that'll stay in the memory....

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

Chaps,
Quite enjoyed the programme. Certainly different to the old.
Like the hour long format - not such a rush. Hopefully they will feature a more diverse range of motoring (ie not just the Lambo/Zonda sort of thing -
that was quite amusing for the first minute or so).
There is so much they could include outside of the usual car reviews - e.g. Us, kitcar, bike, rodding/custom, special etc etc.
Interesting that you have to be doing 170 to beat the camera.
Wonder how the digital ones compare.

Top Gear was great - really liked the format and the length. And it's great to have Clarkson back. I learnt that a Zonda really does sound how it
does in Gran Turismo 3!!!
Who is this Stig character? And why the secrecy I wonder? Too slim to be Stig Blomqvist which immediately came to mind. Maybe it's the legend that
is Tiff Needel, with his identity hidden cos he's still on the Channel 5 books or something? Hmmm...
Yup - real shame about VBH. She's a godess. Here's a nicer picture:

Johnflo,
I know what a VBH is but it says VHB on the post . The pictures don't show her best feature, it's usually parked on the seat.

Top Gear complaints
It looks like the team have been upsetting the neighbours with the noise they make during testing sessions. Their planning permission for the airfield
doesn't cover racing apparently, so they will have to call it something else like car comparison .

It's the former British Aerospace site at Dunsfold in Surrey. They use one of the hangars for the studio.

If I remenber rightly, no planning permission is required if what it's being used for doesn't happen more than 30 (ish) days per year.
Anyway why are the neighbours complaining, can't be any worse than an airport for thingys sake.

Oh, okay. I've only seen Stig driving and unfortunately they failed to include much footage from the 'hip' cam!

That's polite calling it "hips". There are a couple more points the "Stig" is lacking as well. And we won't discuss the blackened helmet
subject. Vicky is far too pretty to hide her light under a bushel I mean.
