I just finished watching the Winter Olympic special of Top Gear. For those who have no idea what Top Gear is, I'll say you are missing one of the best shows on the Telly.
Top Gear is presented by three blokes, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond. They review cars in their inimitable style, sometimes even reducing cars to 'rubble via a series of trials, stunts and bizarre behavior'.
I just love the way they pass the cars thru these stupid tests, spending a lot of money on every review. Here You can see them testing a car on the HMS invincible. Not only is it technically perfect, but aesthetically too.
Top Gear has had a history of playing a role in factoring the sales of some cars. If a car is disliked by the presenters, such as in the case of the Vauxhall Vectra, it can have a tendency to adversely affect sales. Top Gear is estimated to have over 350 million viewers worldwide.
In this weeks show, they make cars run on ice, race against a professional speed skater, play Ice hockey, even make a Mini do the Ski Jump.
For those of you who missed it, and have got a broadband connection, you can look at two segments:
1]Playing Ice Hockey with the Suzuki Swift:
2]The Mini doing a Ski Jump:
You should just look at James 'Captain Slow' May speaking eloquently about Trajectory and gravity

Hey dev, have I become a celeb, people are quoting me! ;)
Thanks!
well not yet. But You will be one day.
so then I can say that this was your first quotable quote
I dont want to become controversial! :)
Don't worry about being controversial; Very few people go to read maths, and fewer still understand it, those who do usually think a lot, and will not jump to conclusion, giving rise to controversies.
But you better be careful when you opine about things which everyone aspires to talk about, say for example, love. That sure could give rise to a heated debate and might be controversial
Hey, DC, I finally get what a Vogon is!!!(hor hor!)
However, i must say, your poetry is by no means representive of theirs, ie , are you really Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings?
Chit,
This blog has and will display Vogon poetry, which is the third worst in the world.
This particular Vogan lacks motivation, and has no desires of taking his works to the top that Infamous list of all things which are horrible
Such wasted talent
