Hi,



I just saw this pop-up in Goggle News:



"Car crash blocks A12 carrageway

29 December 2008, EADT Suffolk & Essex online

. . .

The southbound carriageway of the road is currently blocked at the

Aldeburgh junction after a Vauxhall Astra and a Toyota Prius were

involved in a collision at about 6.08pm this evening.

. . ."



My first thought, I wonder if Jeremey Clarkson is out driving a Vauxhall?



Bob Wilson

LOL







I know it’s off topic, bur did you hear about what that prick did on Top

Gear with the Tesla?







Is anyone here from the UK available to let that dinosaur know its era is

long gone and that lying is a very ugly thing to do, specially on TV?







I wonder why Tesla did not take the bastard to court… he surely needs

someone to put him in place…







See this: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=top+gear+tesla

<http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=top+gear+tesla&search_type>

&search_type=



and then read this:

http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/tesla-motors-responds-to-top-gear-review/











The guy has done very nasty things to the Prius, but I have no doubts this

one with the Tesla beats them all… bloody dinosaur that won’t die…







cheers

Chill out!



Everybody in the UK knows that Clarkson is not really a motoring

journalist. He and his program, Top Gear, is aimed at the "Lads Mag"

audience not people interested in motoring issues.



If Clarkson or his cohorts don't like a car they'll do an

assasination job on it. They're not very subtle, that's too

complicated for them.



If you watch crap expect to see crap.



Turn it off!

I agree with your assessment Stuart and never personally watch the infantile

loon.



What does annoy me though is that there is no *serious* discussion of

motoring issues anywhere on TV. It is as if the only natural history

programmes all involved wrestling with alligators, or as if Spitting Image

was the only political programme.



Where are the motoring equivalents of Attenborough, or Paxman? It is not as

if there are no serious issues. Look what motoring costs us. Look what it is

doing to the environment. Look at the unemployment looming in the US.



How different it all could have been, if *real* discussion of eco-friendly

transport could have taken place and real, informed consumer pressure

brought to bear on the manufacturers...

Well, fifth gear is more down-to-earth than Top Gear, no?

EVERYTHING is more down-to-earth than Top Gear... it's better, but only a

bit.

I've always enjoyed it...its just entertainment!

I enjoy it, but the next time I take my Prius over the Alps I intend

to send Jeremy a photo...
