DrVertigo Report post Posted December 23, 2010 The thing with the 458 is that, like the 599, it has a great shape but is let down by horrid tacky details. This leads it to look better in video footage or in person, where the shape makes more of an impression, than in pictures where you're focusing more on the ugly sidespiked headlights, fiddly front bumper aero, dull rear lights and clumsy rear panelling design.

I use to look the other way with the 458, but this episode opened my eyes. And the SLS is a feat, but i am so turned off by the rear. The designer must have focused all his energy on the front and door and just quit when he got back there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deekss Report post Posted December 27, 2010 Tonight's show = wank. It was shit. That's an hour of my life I won't get back. In the first half of the Christmas special there were trailers of Hummers exploding and other exciting stuff, and Clarkson said that's all to come. All we had last night was a quite dull and improbable 4 cylinder sub-fest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we had last night was a quite dull and improbable 4 cylinder sub-fest. There was no first half of a Christmas Special, it was shown in its entirety last night. The one on 21 December was supposed to be the first in a new series. The trailer was for the whole series, including the Christmas Special, so that's all to come.

Fortis Report post Posted December 27, 2010 Have you watched it yet Fortis? So so so so woeful. I watched the first one, I am just about to watch the second one. I take it for what it is, pure entertainment and I quite enjoy it, if I want factual car performance data I time Ronin's YouTube Lotus videos with my microvawe's watch. On a different note, how do you guys do it in UK? I have a new found respect for you people, it's been raining here nonstop for few weeks and I just want to kill myself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a new found respect for you people, it's been raining here nonstop for few weeks and I just want to kill myself We get rain all the time over here, especially where I'm from. We've had to battle with loads of snow instead for the last couple of weeks. The Christmas Special was just average and some things were just so predictable. Lets hope the rest of the series improves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortis Report post Posted December 27, 2010 It is because the England team are over there winning The Ashes in your back garden. Hope that helps. let's put it this way, I would rather watch reruns of AUSTRALIAN Top Gear 24/7 for a week than watch 10 minutes of cricket. The three stooges that host the Australian Top Gear Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still can't park the Murci on a slope though... There was one single, solitary line that was very funny, and said quietly by Hammond, and could easily have been missed. When at the Iran border, JC says the BBC aren't allowed into Iran. They then talk about Ant & Dec, ITV hosts, saying they'd be allowed in, they then talk about other BBC programs, and Hammond says 'even Springwatch wouldn't be alowed in?'... Springwatch is a dull nature programme, but they regularly refernce Kate Humble, the tree hugging, earth mother presenter. Very funny. It was all in the delivery however... you had to be there....
