Top Gear - Vauxhall is good looking

[carab]

If anyone has watched Season 11 episode 5, probably not because its not here yet, they test the new Nissan GTR around the Fugi race course and during the news, Jeremy Clarkson says that Vauxhall is the only car maker to have good looking cars across the entire range. Must say, cant disagree with that one ;)

Vid is here btw.....

hopefully that works

LOL

GM must be paying him more than Ford now.

Sorry Clarkson, I strongly disagree with you on this one. The VXR8 sticks out of the crop like the dog's proverbial :D Sure, lots and lots of fun but does not have the same class as its siblings...

Hahahaha - was thinking the same, either that or he's feeling guilty about the way he's constantly bagging Vauxhalls and finally giving them some credit...

I've never heard him say a single kind word about Vectras for example, it is probably his most hated car - now all of a sudden Vauxhall have the nicest looking cars across the entire range :rolleyes: yes well bwahahahahaha :D

BTW thanks for the link carab, always intoxicating to watch the mighty GT-R in action over and over again :)

good looking yes, i'm pretty sure he didnt say they drive well though, which i thought was the biggest gripe hes got with them. not the looks

Yes, he definitely hates that about the Vectra and I believe the stig feels the same way about the VXR LOL...

[Vectracious]

and I believe the stig feels the same way about the VXR LOL...

Interesting spin I heard this week about who the Stig might be........

Tiff Needle... ;)

Have they gone on break or something? Coz I've watched up to ep 6 from season 11 but no more seem to be popping up for download?

[dieselhead]

Yes, they're on a break till September.

Dunno what's more bizzare... the Stig being ageless for 30 years or the fact he was riding a rotary motorbike!!

[poita]

rotary suzuki ftw!!

So is this the current Stig, who has a contract to remain on the show for a while ??

Sure would be interesting to have a list of all who've done the role and see which was actually the better driver of all of them :)

Yeah apparantly - just something I heard and puts quite a different spin on it :) (well its interesting to consider anyway)

Sorry for giving wrong info guys... According to finalgear.com
"Top Gear is currently on a break and will be back in the third week of October (http://forums.finalgear.com/top-gear/exclusive-james-may-talks-to-me-about-finalgear-29267/)."

Now that's a bloody long wait...* (http://andrewu.co.uk/clj/countdown/pro/)

Yeah that rumour has been around for a while, and Tiff is quite close in physique to the Stig :)

One of the main hosts of fifth gear, being an integral part of top gear....surely not :confused:

Tiff started Top Gear with Jeremy back in the late 80's up to about 2000 I think when Top Gear got cancelled due to some 'greenpeace' crap.

Tiff still writes regularly for Top Gear Mag. :)

which is why it makes it interesting to think, and in some sort of way - makes sense. He started with JC on Top Gear - they hide him because of any perceived contractual obligations he has with 5th Gear on Channel 5. *

* I have no idea about the british television system so I'm just pulling stuff out of my arse. Although the BBC being the national broadcaster may be able to get presenters off other channels
