So what do people think of clarkys whole neck thing in the GTR. Real or Fake?

Clareman

I was thinking hangover, boys might have gone on the lash after their race

Feck,

Forgot this was on but watching the 2nd half now.

Wasnt a bad show. that was some horn on clarksons classic merc, like a bloody fog horn.

The GTR was an animal of a car

Love the Merc, pity Clarkson didn't demo its hydraulics properly (check the Quinten Wilson review on youtube). The last fearture was toss and a complete fake - look smart and you will spot a pair of cone shaped trees in the background on two seperate occasions, when JC is supposedly miles futher along the they pop up a second time.

yea, the only funny thing in the whole hunt thing, was when clarkson "Helped" hammond onto his horse

I thought the hunt was good.

It wasn't all bad the girl behind Hammond was nicely stacked as was the one in the studio segement when May looked at the new Renualt (that won't be built) she was to the left in light cream.

I thought so too!

Was thinking the same about clarksons neck. But iam not sure who cares. Wasn't a bad episode, a good sundays entertainment!
Wasn't a huge fan of the Hunt thing, thought it was kinda silly, but still not the worst top gear piece either.

I for one am a happy chappy!

I really enjoyed that hunt - that might be a cheap SUV it goes... like a rabbit..!

Jules

Hated the concept car from renualt, absolutley horrible. Thing looked so fake inside. The peugeot look very, very nice. Love the hunt bit, very clever! And the suv moved very well i thought, lol'ed when jc hit his head on the roof! But what is happening with the "stars in a reasonablely priced car" two at a time, is there that much demand?

All in all another good show!

i thought he said the datsun was terrible last wekk?

I hate to say this, but the more I watch this show, the worse it gets. The SIRPC segment is rubbish, a bunch of nobody's driving a heap of Korean crap around the track, and the rest of it is getting too scripted for its own good. Clarkson hurting his neck, come on..... :rolleyes:

After watching TG from the early 90's on YouTube, I nearly find them more enjoyable now.

I for one believe Clarkson about the neck thing, I remember before on an earlier season he saud he hurt his neck and needed and operation which he apparently had. Could be a flar up of the old injury.

The hunt was a bit far fetched all be it enjoyable. GTR is something else though.

Sure is. On Gran Turismo TV they show it going flat out on the Autobahn :eek:

Plug

That GTR is class, im not a lover of jap cars but this things mad. I went around the track faster than most of the supercars:eek:

The highlight of the show for me was when Clarkson was boasting how his Merc's boot could close automatically. Then cheeky James says "oh I only noticed how difficult thats to do now" and opens his own one and closes it buy hand. I lol'd!:D

doctor evil

I loved the hunt segment. It looked sore when Clarkson smacked his head on the roof.

I agree it is a bit over scripted. I wonder how many takes do they do when in the studio with the audience. Then again JC can across as bit of a pric with May and Hamster as puppets.

vengeance52

id love to see the hunt reinacted, with quads instead of horses. more POWER.

razorblunt

When the lads were sitting on the couch the girl over Hammons shoulder did indeed have a great set of airbags.

I believe the neck part could easily be done and he has had problems in the past with it I thought the hunt was enjoyable but did anyone notice the parts where it was just the Terios in the field pulling skids on its own it didnt have the black tail with the scent of the fox on it. Best part was the Hammond scream "ah a tree" while he's horse riding through a woods.

mike65

Clarkson has done his lower back in as well - too many lateral forces while not fully supported.

thats true, in a few eps, ive seen clarkson driving around the track and been bounced around the seat a fair bit

mike65

Is it a suprise Capt Slow is the only one not crocked?

i thought the show last night was good.
I especially liked the 'stars in the cheap cars' part..with the two dragons. Good ould Peter Jones!

I do think that Jeremy did his neck in....but post editing where they added the muffled "oh i don't want to make a fuss" was just plain cheesy.

I watch the show cuz its genuinely funny and a really well put together programme...but having said that i tolerate Jeremy Clarkson....and last's night little poor me section was annoying, to say the least. He's 73 going on 13.

Clareman

I would tend to believe his bad neck story, as anyone tall will tell you (I'm 6 foot 4), you will put your back out at some stage. The 1 thing that most supercars aren't designed for is the larger gentleman, I noticed on the Japanese stage in the nissan that his legs were very high up, not at all comfortable.

So someone just after driving for ~12 hours across different terrians and having to run up stone steps the day (or a few days) before could potentially put his back out.

I thought the hunting thing was a bit forced, I would imagine that it was almost real time that was shown.

It is 1 of the few shows that I make an effort to watch when it's on first time around and I'm enjoying the repeats that I havn't seen on Dave

ok....let me dumb it down a bit.....
he LOOKS 73....but ACTS like he's going on 13.

Seriously I think James and Richard are hilarious in their own right...but there's something about 'Clarky' that makes me wanna smack him one.

Clear example of that, last night Peter Jones says he's 17 stone 10 lbs; Jeremy says, "You fat Bastard"....

Eh, that wasn't very nice now was it? And he far from being overweight. I understand he meant it as a joke...but no one laughed. It wasn't funny. He's just a bit too much at times.

For me anyhow.

barnicles

I Lol'd at The Stig said you were brilliant. And well you were s**t:D:)
