A proper petrolhead movie star....

That dam they stayed under is just a terrifying as they make out. You have to drive over the top of it to get to the summit and it seems to bow inwards when you look down from the top

Quite like one of his earlier films 'Chopper'
Quote:
Interviewer: You've written a best-seller...
Chopper: Yeah, I know - and I can't even bloody spell. What about those poor bloody academics, those college graduates, battling their guts out to write some airy-fairy piece of exaggerated artwork? And here's a bloke, sitting in a cell, who can't spell, and he's written a best-seller. It's sold two hundred and fifty thousand copies. And it's still selling. And he's writing another one. And I can't even spell. I'm semi-bloody-illiterate.

Am I alone in wishing they would think of something new for Top Gear?

I was, for the very first time, bored with the same old, same old tonight .......

Disappointing.

Three cars, three presenters, drive around Europe and have boyish fun ...... excellent TV - but EVERY week? Nah, boring.

Star in a reasonably priced car ..... can they not think of something else? Puff in something Rough? Stig in a Chavmobile?

Anything .... Fifth Gear is even catching up!
