OT - TopGear playing football with cars

Since it's your licence fee that buys em, i suggest you stop paying it.

Alex

The BBC are NOT chasing ratings...

(But it is effing good TV).

Wot? So we all then end up paying more to jail someone for not paying their telly licence?

Are they brand new, proper showroom cars? Or ex-press hacks, pre-production testers or other stuff otherwise bound for the crusher?

They weren't Rovers were they? Wolverine.

some new toyota, yarris sized I think

I'll bet they were warrantly returns etc that were just going for scrap and didn't cost the Beeb a penny (free advertising).

so Angus McCoatup© was, like...

Best thing for 'em.

Could have used some big 4X4's with effing great bullbars with Greenpeace protestors as padding...

Having just seen it.

It looked like absolute top fun!

Brilliant TV

Tim (400quid Golf Mark II, Oh and a LR 90)

Absolutely fantastic TV, if you ask me! Lets face it, we'd have been really upset (justifiably so) if they'd played the same game with rangie sports now, wouldn't we? Badger.

Oh wow. Can I play??

jermec

Yep, trying to blow one up with a Challenger 2 was much more entertaining! I watched that bit three times in a row. Magic.

Indeed, but I was a little disappointed that they didn't let the Stig loose in it, that would have been interesting. Badger.

Does anyone have the video of the car football?

After starting this topic, Fkcu it,

It was good telly!!

Should not believe what you read in the press.

Written off??

Bit of Tcut, soon polish out.

Mark.

Yeah, next time the ref should be in the Challenger 2. That'll make it a bit more entertaining.

As for believing what you read in the press, what a novel concept!

Mind you I read a story today about the 12, 14 and 16 year old sisters who have all dropped sprogs that they've then named T-Jay, Lita and Amani, they don't know the fathers and their single mum blames the school. I feel a cull coming on, I need that Challenger 2.

In message , Tim Guy writes

Well folks, as they say Land Rovers always get there first!!!!

I have somewhere a copy of a picture one of the original members of the Land Rover Owners Club lent me showing, IIRC, series ones playing 'football' with an enormous and apparently quite heavy ball. Probably dated from the late 50s possibly early 60s ...

Now where did Top Gear get the idea I wonder ...

so Ian Rawlings was, like...

No, the eldest daughter knows the father of hers, a 38-year-old Asian man who lives with his mother. No move to prosecute him, mind. I wonder why. The youngest knows the father, but he's 14 and (surprise surprise) doesn't want to know about her or the baby. From the picture on the BBC website, the kids are all different colours, which is nice.

What they do with their lives is up to them. What boils my p*ss is the fact that they are getting GBP600 per WEEK from the state. That's over 31K a year of my money, and yours too. And they complain it's not enough and they need a bigger council house.

The mother blames the school for poor sex education. The irony of the fact that her eldest daughter has (at 16) had two miscarriages and an abortion, and still can't see the connection between getting porked by a man twice her age and getting pregnant, escapes her.

All this, BTW, is from BBC News, not the Sun. The sprogs' names (Ian has them exactly correct) tell you everything you need to know.
