Clarkson. Rolls Royce. Swimming Pool.



Awesome.


in news: snipped-for-privacy@news.individual.net, Conor slurred :

Tues 7pm.

Didn't he look a real prat slapping some filler on the wheel arches then painting without rubbing down? And the 'BMW' silver being the same as R-R because they now own them?

And it looked not a bad car - or certainly not beyond redemption. I hate seeing something like this destroyed.

I think, given that statement, it's more than fair to determine that the irony of what he did, has been lost on you.

I'm glad to admit that.

I found their bodging of things like that funny the first time. But not after the 20th time. They just look like a bunch of prats.

Just to add - not one of the three looks like they're capable of even changing the oil themselves - let alone anything more complicated.

If Clarkson really is that sort of capable person then the 'joke' was more valid.

But I'd still rather they'd used a real dog of a Shadow - they're still out there.

See, usually I react the same, but it was a total heap. It could have been restored, but it's a sodding 1970s Rolls Royce. It's fit only to be painted white (ideally with Dulux) after being filled to within an inch of the maximum GVW, and used for cheap Chav weddings.

Feel free to switch it off, and join the 'Bring Back The Woolard One' brigade, if it bothers you that much... ;-)

Oh my god... we best not watch the programme then, given it's a serious programme dedicated to 'DIY Mechanics'!

I wonder how you'd fare on the test track, in something like that TVR, as a vaguely connect foil to your perception of their plus and minus points...

Is now Realtime. Same s*it, different name.
