Hehehe yes he said he liked it and he did the same re other C6 models too. But then he backflipped next program and said they were utter rubbish - and that my friend is about as moronic as it gets. So don't cherry pick the positive stuff to try to make a point. Do a bit of research before going out on a limb with half truths.
Unfortunatley granny, he is more about silly stuff like turning cars into boats and smashing up caravans than decent car stuff. Fifth Gear killed Top Gear in quality car stuff. You can go back to your knitting now.:thumbs: I stand by what I said about the statement that Top Gear not being for car guys is as moronic as it gets, but if you like boring old Fifth Gear better be my guest and watch it instead. Oh, and as for half truths, let's talk about you saying he liked other C6s as well because that's not true. He said the Z06 was a great car on the track, but for regular driving it was one of the worst things he'd ever encountered. He said he'd rather have bird flu than drive it every day. Is that enough research for ya? |

Hi guys, I'm glad they liked it. I have a question for you guys, and maybe you can help me find this video?
Top Gear explored a car - hilariously - that had two wheels in the back, and one in the front. This was actually SUPPOSED TO BE a mass-production car. However, when you see how quickly this monstrocity turns over, how quickly it abandondes the road, the whole video becomes quickly hilarious, and even has one of the cars crash a game of Cricket!!! Anyone? :hide: That car was the Reliant Robin. Clarkson driving it is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. :lol: |

good catch...I was too lazy to look it up
but I do know 'tallywacker' :D They do seem to use the word "penis" a lot on Top Gear........so I'm sure the word Tallywacker may creep in from time to time! Great show, love the different views of Captain Slow, Hamster and that loveable buffoon Clarkson! . |

Don't worry that dope Geremy will still talk utter rubbish about live rear axles and ox carts whatever. Doubt he would know a live rear axle if it bit him on the bum. And he certainly knows nothing about unsprung weight either.
Top Gear is for non car people to watch to see just how stupid the poor ol poms can be at times - it is everything but a car review show. Obviously ol Geremy is not a dope but a savvy guy who knows the masses watch rubbish because amazingly the show rates high - but then so does other trashy stuff. Anyhow I can just see him pretending to chase some European car around the track in the C7 but ensuring he has foot flat to the floor trying his best to make the tail spin away then claim it doesn't handle lol. What a tool. But a funny tool at times. |

The predecessor was the Bond Minicar which dates back to 1949. Some of the earlier models did not have an electric starter and you had to lift the hood and literally kick a kickstarter! Nor did they have a reverse gear......although it was a simple matter to get out and push them when necessary! Both were dangerous vehicles which should never have been allowed on the road. Not only were their steering geometry capabilities extremely compromised, they were also so light that even a light breeze would often blow them off the road. |

He kinda liked it here to, in his own way. "You'd have to be bonkers to buy the Corvette, and that is why you should.":D Hopefully the fit and finish will be tight and the seatbelt loop won't fall off when he drives the C7. |

And make sure you watch the link below right thru because then you will know a bit more than the half truth. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/459528/chevy_corvette/ So if you seek truth tune in to Dream Car garage or Fifth gear to get the truth then watch Top Gear for a good entertaining laugh because that is what Geremy is - an entertainer. Very funny at times but has a hatred against anything US and ALWAYS reverses his opinion about Corvettes (even the ZR1 in America one). :thumbs: |

Some dope that Clarkson is. A multi millionaire a number of times over. Is brilliant and funny on TV, plus has forgotten more than you have ever learned. Your comments are silly.
Very entertaining and he markets well but the content is often wrong. As far as I know my corvette does not have a live rear axle so maybe his knowledge is not as good as you think. |

Top Gear has its moments too, you know. :willy: |
