yeah man, i buy them in the dozen
lol

ok not though but i mean jonney or vicky always does those cheap car reviews or how to be ultra-frugal
or those little pocket hot hatches

its all good that we want good value out of things
but sometimes the CL audience wants a bit more creature comfort
season 17 of 5th gear is actually not bad but you can tell they are still trying to find their own identity though (or found it and now trying to define it)

Top Gear is by far my favorite program ( well the sopranos as well but its not on anymore)
They have Sopranos re runs every day on A&E at 8am-9am, i have seen every episode around 10 times

I guess I'm first to have seen it...................... so with out delay: SPOILERS!




I can't believe the new car is a Kia

Reliant is a death trap! Seriously!

I'm amused that this is the second Bentley that's had its tires (tyres) shreded by Clarkson.

Reliant was probably the funniest part.

I did laugh at the Reliant three wheeler part - and I do know someone who drove one into an inspection pit, forgetting that it only had one wheel at the front.
