Top Gear

[Longun 1]

Back this Sunday with a small 6 episode run.

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

About the E type this week. Love it.

Top gear was near where i live a while back recording an episode where they have caravans on train-lines, they were in Rothley train station. So watch this space for when that episode comes on TV, it could be in this series.

I've given up on TG far too silly to be funny these days

I second this....yet every time i tune in hoping they have returned to the 04-05 glory days, alas i am usually very mcuh disappointed.

I Think it's great, I am all about stupidity!

[allye 530 3 Cars]

I think the last few series before have been way too silly (stupid campervans spring to mind!) But the series just gone was slightly better imo.

[Iain-gti 6]

Its brilliant but hate how short the series are now =(

[Cameron 16]

I need £500,000!!

 

 

 

Ps stop crying about Top Gear being scripted, just enjoy the humour!

[dcc 855]

would be nice if they ventured into the modded car world, ie, cars with engine conversions etc not just spoilers, and had a track time board for them

[allye 530 3 Cars]

I enjoyed the amount of straight 6's tonight!

Thats the thing though, once you know its all well scripted it never goes away does it ?

 

I missed tonight's show

 

At least the beam, arms, ARB, Inlet has all been painted and primed

[Cameron 16]

Ok.. do you cry about things like HIGNFY being scripted? How about when you watch a live comedian like Lee Evans or Jimmy Carr; you know they don't just make that stuff up on the spot?

 

You know 5th Gear is scripted too, right?

[tri_longer 25]

Last night didn't seem that silly to be honest, generally enjoabe episode.

I even sniggered occasionally......

[Baz 421]

I'll see your millionaire's extortionate playtoy rip-off of an E-type and raise you the modern version of the e30 M3...

 

 

 

 

 

MMMMmmmmmm!!!

[maturin23 10]

Clarkson has been bigging up the Eagle E-Type for at least 10 years - he must be well on the way to earning a free one for services to their marketing dept....

DId wonder which 911 Turbo he used as comparison for Power-to-weight if the Eagle is as slow as 5 secs to 60...

 

I'd take the Sport Evo, thanks Baz, probably just about similar in value right now...

 

Watching that and reading the Evo article last month did help me decide to put the 1-M on my "buy a low-mileage one in ten years time" list for my (currently imaginary!) car-based pension plans

Here is my little Dude Jay with Eva, our E Type on Saturday morning.

 

[Cameron 16]

Hmm.. I actually hate you a little bit.

[Batfink 201]

Hmm.. I actually hate you a little bit.

 

brilliant!

 

I loved that armoured vehicle smashing through that wall

[Baz 421]

Ian; totally agree tbh, there's no way i'd spend £40k on a depreciation modern eurobox against a Sport Evo/Cecotto like the one pictured, especially as i'd be buying a usable (cheaper) one rather than a cotton wool-clad low miler... but still, there's something really awesome about that 1M! Plus the numbers being made may actually be against depreciation, a bit like the CSL. Only that's not good news for those like us that want to buy one in a few years!

 

ORB, i love you. Please let me know when you're ready to sign the adoption papers.

I found that howmanyleft.co.uk website they were talking about pretty interesting. For example there is only 10 Citroen AX GT Sportifs left in the UK... and only one of them is on the road But there's 2362 205 GTIs still on the road

[benny205mi16 19 1 Cars]

One of my first cars was a Citroen AX GT Sportif, an Freg in white.

I loved that car, I did not realise so few were left now,

But thinking about it now, it has been a long time since I have seen one.

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

I am guessing by the comments you like Eva?

 

We have had it since 2001, 1971 V12 5.3 - 50k since new. She has never had paint or any form of restoration other than routine maintenance and servicing. We are VERY proud of her, even though she is not the 'prized' Jag of the fleet!

Nice - I prefer those FHC's

Series 2, 4.2?
