Hi,
Would you really want to watch a bloke sanding paintwork for hours on end? :lol:
I'm happy to skip over the work bits anyway, as long as they say what they had to do.

Not really, I like watching painters do their thing though :D
A bit more focusing on the repairs rather than the buying and selling bits....Is that too much to ask :lol:

Maybe it should be an hour instead of 25/30 minutes.....Anyway, I shall be tuning in again tonight on ITV4 after the Sweeney :applaud:

Hi Andy,
On weekday evenings ITV4 has the best line-up of any channel.

I found myself in Vegas for a long weekend last April, as me & my mate were checking out of the hotel to fly home, I read the blurb on a sign next to an extremely nice customized 60's / 70's saloon I had passed many times on the edge of the Casino & realized it was done by counts customs, completely forgot they were in Vegas & would have forgone a couple of beers to make time to call in but it was all too late ........ bugger :banghead:

Hi Andy,
An interesting interview, thanks for posting the link. It's interesting that he doesn't seem to think that Top Gear will last much longer, at least not in it's current format.

Did you see the Car museum in the Linq hotel (formally Imperial palace) that's got the best car museum I've ever been in, it's stunning, top quality cars & most are for sale, a must for any car fan going to Vegas, link here;

As I said in my post, I really hope they can work through it & make it great again. To be fair, the show has only just started so they've got time to get it right. There's some great bits in it & some pointless ones, here's hoping :)

I lost interest in TG a long time ago, and can't bring myself to watch it anymore....Watched it alot in the 70's, 80's and 90's though.

:agree:
:sorry: But watching 3 blokes tearing around in Supercars I could never afford (Even if i wanted one) is of no interest to me.

Give me this anytime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0tELQ2L-iE :cheers:

In a nutshell!

They`d have to come right back down to earth (i.e. dump the Astons/Lambos) and I don`t think that`ll happen. Shame `cos once it was like TOTP, something you had to watch.
