Top Gear

[anotheoldgit]

Did anyone watch Top Gear last night? where Jeremy Clarkeson and Co. made up 3 stretch limos by cutting standard cars in half and then welding a piece in the centre. They then drove these vehicles through central London, to an awards ceremony.

In the process of doing this they demolised illuminated bollards, and held up traffic. In the end Clarkson's vehicle broke in half and he carried on his journey on the two front wheels and the back end dragging on the road with sparks flying everywhere.

How were these vehicles allowed on the road? They definitely would not have passed a M.O.T. No sign of any Police about.

true, but it WAS very funny!

[curlyperm]

do ya think Lemar was really annoyed or just messing? had to laugh at him folded in half nearly in the sauna at the back of the other limmo lol

[4getmenot]

do you really honestly believe he did the rest of the journey with the back end like that. Or that Lamar was serious. Its all a put on.

[curlyperm]

ok thanks, just asking

[redcrx]

as with a lot of there recent stunts, it would all have been a huge set-up. I reckon they probably had special allowances for filming on those roads etc.

It was brilliant and i wish id seen the first half of the show!

[4getmenot]

curleyperm I put that to the question, your post wasnt up there when I said it. xxx

[curlyperm]

ha ha its ok i see ; P

[cruella]

got to agree with redcrx
Probably specially set up for this to have taken place but it had to be one of the funniest Top Gear shows ever.

[sddsddean]

Agree it was a set up, but did you notice all the 'limos' had new Q plates and tax discs?

[Postdog]

If it's any consolation. I fell for the caravan on fire last series. I don't normally watch this (Clarkson makes me sick..) but I saw that one and thought it was for real.

[unruliejulie]

Its a long time since i have laughed at the telly so much especially when Clarkson was driving along in just the front of the fiat Panda!!! Hilarious!!!!

[anotheoldgit]

Set up or not, they were driving in London's busy traffic, and they did cause that bus a problem. 4getmenot I did not say he did the rest of his journey with the back end dragging, I just said he carried on, no mention of how far, or that Lamar was serious, in fact no mention of Lamar in my question at all. So you must have been referring to curlyperm, go on admit it and take her rebuff.

[4getmenot]

No I meant it for you I was just referring to Lamar as well as I take it you watched the whole program :-) just wondering if you took it seriously which you obviously did :-) I'm sure they said they had to each go through MOT first anyway. so all road legal :-)

[4getmenot]

and curleyperm knows I tell the truth :-)

[anotheoldgit]

What do you two want for a wedding present?

[4getmenot]

Oooh if you were invited you'd get my list but you're not :-)

[redcrx]

she was gonna ask for a sense of humour, but as she already has one was gonna donate it to the first old git she saw without one :)

[4getmenot]

classic. I'm now gonna elope with redcrx :-) lol

[redcrx]

[anotheoldgit]

Oh 4getmenot you are so fickle, what will curleyperm say?

Don't worry about my invite, I wasn't going to come anyway.
