"80% talent free"

The woman was excellent, the culy haired tosser was, well, a tosser.

 

What a perfect description of Jeremy Clarkson!

If you didn't watch Top Gear, catch the repeat. The deisel Jag around
the Nurburgring is excellent.

 

Just seen it. Heh.

 

It's a lot better when Sabine is driving instead of JC.

Has anyone from here been round the track?

I'd have been embarrassed on one of those bikes though, being
overtaken by him.

 

I'd suggest that there's not many people on here could do a 9.59 lap in
that car, though.

 

I'm willing to give it a go........................................
send your blank cheque to my home address and I'll start packing

 

It's only €14 per lap, you tightwad.

Stritchy emerged from their own little world to say

I liked it when, after several misogynous comments from JC, the female
instructor pointed out that, "you've just been overtaken by a girl".

 

Well if you're going to pay for the trip there, hotels and sundry
<cough> expences, I'll pay the €14 a lap.

 

I don't normally watch Top Gear and most of the show helped me
understand why I won't be bothering in future. They really have made it
very stupid indeed.

I did enjoy the Nurburgring feature if only because the sheer lunacy of
the place was conveyed rather well through the film [1]. The German
girl beating JC by a decent margin was good.

[1] a bit of me says it would be fun to at least ride it once. The other
bit says I am a cowardly custard and am scared shitless at the thought
of it..

Well, since he got passed, I'd say you're right.

Well I don't drive but it just seems to be a vain attempt to be
controversial and a bit daft.

Still I don't do fun so what would I know.

I liked her remarks - whether genuine or in the script - about JC and
how good he thought he was. While he can obviously drive a car
reasonably well (this from me with zilch knowledge on the subject) he
does like to completely overegg his own abilities and confidence (maybe
all part of the "image").

So which bike journo are you racing against next week then?

Next year, now I've heard it's only 14 (40?) euros....

Occasionally, I'll be consistent

 

To be honest, the difference between 9.12 and 9.59 isn't exactly huge
when you're comparing somone who touts themselves as a local expert with
a journo who's been there 2 days.

FWIW, that difference would come well within the 110% qualifying rule
for most races, so is comparable with a 2 mins dead and 2.12 lap,
IYSWIM. Not a huge amount of difference.

Oh, ****, you brought it all back.

I actually really enjoyed the young buck Clarkson in his early years on
TG. What a breath of fresh air he was compared to those wooly-jerseyed
twats.

SteveH emerged from their own little world to say

but she didn't get 2 days to practice the circuit in *that* car.

 

It takes significantly less time to learn about a car than it does to
learn about the 'Ring.

A good driver will be able to car hop and be more or less on the pace
within a handful of corners.... it takes a lot longer to learn a track
like the 'Ring - 2 days is definitely nowhere near enough.
