I guess we all know its fixed to make it more entertaining but i thought one of 2nites fixes was too obvious and kinda spoilt the whole illusion.

Did anyone else see hammond getting dripped on by broken eggs BEFORE he'd even set off on the bumpy road?

And did Clarksons doors really just fall off

skoobidude

Exactly. Too staged for my liking which is why I shutdown during the farting about.
Jenny Saunders part was good!

Yes, it's a fix - as always, but it's entertaining though, which is why we watch it.

It's no longer a true car show as it was in the 80's, who can remember when Jezza started on TG? I didn't like him at all, thought he was a bit of an ***. Now I know he's an ***, but I'd vote for him to be PM (what does that say about our government?)

Hilarious!

Awesome entertainment as per a previous post I got mildly excited when I saw the dolly sprint, I remember a mate of mine bought one, we were all trundling around in our mk2 escorts and he turned up in one of those and back then it seemed bloody fast!

its a great laugh, stop taking the show seriously!

j4ckos mate

i enjoyed it, its a strange one , i watched it expecting not to enjoy it, and then you do.


i thought the door falling off was quite funny. and the inner skin staying where it was.

I find TG good all round entertianment, mit is one of the few shows that will get a laugh out me (only other shows being Earl, QI & Buzzcocks) and i look forward to it on a Sunday evening, Me ans Mrs Paul make a point of watching it.

I do not mind that it is not all techy look at the oily bits and play top trumps with the numbers, it makes up for it in many other ways.

I love the chemistry between the three of them and i rate it as bl**dy good and head and shoulders obove 99% of the complete and utter dross on!

Last night's episode was class, I was in fits.

Matteeboy

Wife and I were in stitches several times.

Splendid show,

Did you mean a Monty No Go!

whilst we are at it, Let's not forget the Rustin All-aggro

Daz34

Very true

I remember the leader of our Boys Brigade group having one of these and we would fight like cats to get a ride in this rather than a maxi. To a ten year old the overdrive switch was the coolest thing on the planet..

Hay don't knock Montego's, my parents had 2 of them (First 1 got nicked for ram raiding!!!)

Saying that they laso had 2 Maxi's as well, damn things were tanks!

ChrisGrant

What about the MG Metro Turbo and the MG Montego was great in till going into a corner or you needed to stop

dpb

My sis drove 'big red' montego 'state 3/4 way round europe for several years on end untill it finally croaked

Maxi landcrab ,right

OOh! I had a Maxi 1750HL. Bloody lovely motor. Tons of room and a boot the size of Luxembourg. Beauty to drive with luxury motoring suspension. And if you were on a long trip a got a bit tired the seats turned into a perfectly fitted double bed (apart from the handbreak and gear stick).

I also had an Allegro. The scariest car I have ever driven. The only thing that worked was the drivers side window winder. So at least I was able to shout for help as I passed other cars unable to stop. The last time I drove it I was turning right through a set of lights when the front off side wheel collapsed under the car. A brown pants moment.

nooobyscooby

Don't knock Allegros - I had three!!

i remember my mates old maestro and montego,first car was a 1.6 MG replica,never forget the day he got his first mg maestro,thought it was the business,it was till he got a puncture and there was nowhere solid to put the jack under.

Devildog

My thoughts exactly. Brilliant light entertainment

Bonehead

It's like jumpers for goalposts in here with you lot reminising (sp)

Class, genuinly laugh out loud program amd my God wasn't that DBS a stunner

Shark Man

Yeah, I noted the door pins missing on the hinges. Now even if they did snap (from rust) The door catch would still hold the other side of the door in place

(thus the old comedy TV gag of someone opening a car door an it falling off; the hinge pins are removed so only the latch holds the door on, when the door is opened, it falls off.).

Other than that, another entertaining episode.

j4ckos mate

i wouldnt go looking to much into it, how many thinks arent stage on telly?

Shark Man

I know. Just that one was far too obvious.

The "remove the door pins" gag is as old as broadcast TV itself.

I also refuse to belive a Dolly Sprint is slower than a Datsun 120y. Either that car was sick or needed a good old fashioned tune-up

The Stig was driving and Hammond did have major engine dramas all the time.

The MG Montego had a great chassis, look at the number of Maestro that were/are raced, better than a MK1 Golf.

I had a Montego GTI and that was a really chuckable old lump, nice torquey engine, just a bit rust prone.

Yes, I learnt last week that Eastenders isnt a documentary, dont tell the missus though.

satancom

Its not so much of a seriouse car show anymore, but very entertainingy. My misses called me sad cos i said

" I bet thats the 3.5 v8 SD1" only to be repeated by jezza... Then "did you know that was the first production car to have 16valves" only to be repeated seconds later by hammond...

She then pointed out that both cars were older than me, how did i know such stuff.. heheheh

<proper petrol head>

skoobidude

I did that too I do it all the time with cars on the show. Before they quote the stats I say them first. Cool and sad!
