Great episode last night.

The section on the railways had me in stitches. (I'll refrain from given details so not to spoil it for Melos).

How the hell they got permission to do what they did is any ones guess.

Yeah I am going to wait for them to run it on bbcam. The linked worked but it was a ton of popups and then they wanted me to sign up for something. Don't need to see it that bad.

On the topic of top gear. Saw part of an old program other night where they supped up a smart car to make it go faster. This reminded me of the day before when I was at some traffic lights next to a smart car, lights turned to green & I left it standing for a good 100 yards :lol:

Who the hell buys these cars & why?

I must be the braver pf the two of us :lol:

Don't know what it is but American shows are just so bloody characterless & the way the presenters always seem to talk in that idiotic way with their voices constantly going up & down in an excitable manner whilst talking to you as if your an idiot. Too much time talking off an auto-cue & not enough going on in their heads that they can free wheel a conversation.
