Continuing on our DVD binge-fest, wifey & meself finished the Top Gear - season 10/Heaven & Hell box set last weekend. Fer those in the know, this is quite possibly the most entertaining car programme there is & this is reflected by the fact that it is the MOST downloaded programme on the internet.
The appeal lies in the ability of the programme to tap into the little kids in all of us with its silly races (Aston Martin DB9 vs Jet Fighter or Fiat 500 vs BMX bikes), seriously exotic wheels & the wanton destruction visited upon the lesser marques (Kelisa anyone?).
Topped off by the super sarcastic commentary of Messrs Clarkson, May & Hammond, Top Gear manages to be entertaining viewing not just fer car freaks but fer people like me wifey who had a ball with their silly challenges (eg trying to cross the English channel in half-arsed amphibious vehicles).
If ye have not been privy to the wit & humour of Top Gear, do check out the clips here to see what they think of our wonderful Malaysian cars . . .

I actually spent one whole sunday glued to my Computer watching this show.many good things here...love Jeremy Clarkson style of reviews and his camaraderie with james may and hammond and of course the stig and the inventive ways of stig's intro of the stif made by jeremy //funny entertaining etc...
Anba: Shame quite a few Malaysians don't see the funny side of the kelisa review . . . (*snigger*)
I take offence at Kelisas being smashed because I'm patriotic liddat.
But yea, I saw the Neo review. Quite the awesome
AD: got to go home to check out this Vid. I saw this one British show that was making fun of the Savvy.....hahahaha. after watching it, you really wonder how this car can be considered road worthy.
tinesh: What the fook is wrong with ye? Far better vehicles were lambasted & destroyed by Clarkson in the same episode. They included the much-loved Citoen 2CV. And if anyone is familiar with this series, they would realise that even Astons, Ferraris & Lambos get their fair share of crap reviews.
Achilles: Quite possibly the same programme?
Alamak. I guess sarcasm cant be detected thru words haha. Yea I've seen quite a few destroyed awesome cars.
Tinesh: Ooooh, ye was being sarcy was it? Ok la then.
And yes, yer ability to express yer sarcasm was a bit wanting.
But nevermind, we are on the smae page here.
