Can't wait to see the Pagani though, was insane on the latest Clarkson DVD
That was the R on the DVD, not the new one ;)
Sod that new piece of rubbish, the R is where its at

Only 2 programmes in to its present series and TG is in trouble....
The Mexican Ambassador to the UK has criticised BBC show Top Gear for a series of “outrageous, vulgar and inexcusable insults”.
His Excellency Eduardo Medina-Mora Icaza wrote to the corporation to complain about the comments made in an episode broadcast on January 30 and demanded the show’s hosts, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, make a public apology.
In the episode, which can be watched on iPlayer, Hammond joked that Mexican cars reflected national characteristics, saying they were “just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent oaf with a moustache, leaning against a fence asleep, looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat”.
May described Mexican food as “like sick with cheese on it” and Clarkson predicted they would not get any complaints about the show because “at the Mexican embassy, the ambassador is going to be sitting there with a remote control like this [snores]. They won’t complain, it’s fine.”
In his letter to the BBC, the Ambassador wrote: “The presenters of the programme resorted to outrageous, vulgar and inexcusable insults to stir bigoted feelings against the Mexican people, their culture as well as their official representative in the United Kingdom.
“These offensive, xenophobic and humiliating remarks only serve to reinforce negative stereotypes and perpetuate prejudice against Mexico and its people.”
It is not the first time the show, with its blend of motoring news, schoolboy humour and audacious stunts, has got into trouble.
In 2008 the show was rapped by the BBC Trust for showing Clarkson and May sipping gin and tonics at the wheel during a stunt.
Only last month Clarkson criticised censorship on television.
Speaking backstage at the National Television Awards, he said the recent Sky Sports sexism row raised the danger of people being punished for “heresy by thought”.
He said: “We’ve arrived at a stage where you actually can be busted by heresy by thought, which is a terrifying place to live.
“While we try very hard on Top Gear not to be sexist… if a man wants to think that… that’s fine. You should be allowed to think what you think.”
A BBC spokeswoman said: “We have received a letter from the Mexican Ambassador and shall respond to him directly.”
i have a mexican aunt... i wasn't offended.
Ambassador ..... he comes from snob land with feck all sense of humour what a :tard:
Well put lee lol
The Mexican comments were painful, its like they were trying too hard to get complaints
There is no such thing as bad press ;)

We watched it last night on sky+, enjoyed it a lot, was very entertaining.
In the paper today i read that not only did the Mexican Ambassador complain, some Mexican Jewellry student/designer girl, has instructed lawyers (the ones in the Shilpa Shetty ch4 BB fiasco) to sue for £1m, apparently she was deeply offended..... If this is indeed true........... then what a load of big hairy bollox.:roll:
Edited for mongness....was £ not $...which makes it even worse....lol
$1m for being deeply offended? Thats one hell of a precedence to try and set lol
I know i'm a nerd, but i recognised the wheels as being XJ220 as soon as it pulled up lol
Lol i watched it on the tuesday and spotted the wheels straight away:cool:
Cant belive Hammond claimed not to know though:wtf:

Money grabbing slag now i hope that offends her lol.Seriously though i would like to see some tuned aftermarket stuff go head to head like cossie's,scoobies,evo,mk2 escorts with big engines etc etc as there is some serious kit out there that has been built by the ordinary man rather than multi billion pound corporations.

I just recongnised the whole van straight away.... its been at Goodwood Festival of Speed for about the last 5 years on the trot. If you read the close up of the reg plate theres a subtle hint too.... IIRC it says David Laws Jaguar... Its Justin Laws Dad! Le Mans driver who held the Goodwood hill race speed record for about 5 years with his Le Mans Jag.

$1m for being deeply offended? Thats one hell of a precedence to try and set lolThere's this rumour out there amongst the great unwashed fukwits that there's loads of money in TV, and loads to be made by sueing various production companies. Truth is, there is sweet FA! If you're offended, grab the remote, change it.
As Salman Rushdie said, "it is now a sad time when people only have a measure of themselves by what offends them."

Exactly!!....it's not as if they are sitting your front room forcing it down your throat (keep it clean), You have the power to simply change channels if you don't like what you see/hear.
