Dr. Pain... you are a muppet.

is he? I say he's right

It's an entertainment program.....

I quote Maximus Decimus Meridius:

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

Maccy · 21 Jul 2011 at 14:25

Dr. Pain, you remind me of someone that was banned from here not too long ago...

No doubt the moaners will moan at me, for moaning about the moaners moaning in the first place about something they shouldnt even be moaning about!

Moaning that a product, that you work with the development team of, is poorly represented is a good enough reason to moan for me

Pretty sure you started off by insulting people who were making a mere comment about the show. No one was moaning about the women being there.

Wow, I never thought people would take an ENTERTAINMENT program so seriously.

Jeeus wept. Why cant people just sit down, tune in, and CHILL out.

Its meant to be a family program, something for kids to watch, something for dad to watch, and the wife too.

If serious car geeks get the hump, DONT FRIGGING WATCH IT!!!!!!!!

Jees, I still watch 5th gear cos its something car related, its not brilliant, but it does the trick as something to watch, but I dont bitch and moan about every little bit of it I didnt like.

TG is almost just a mess-around. A bunch of guys arsing about, and coming across as having a middle aged crisis.

If the format is so woefully bad etc etc, then explain how its one of the most popular programs in the world, going out to hundreds of countries?

No doubt the moaners will moan at me, for moaning about the moaners moaning in the first place about something they shouldnt even be moaning about!

Yes, it's entertainment, but I'd rather it wasn't just pointless slapstick. If I wanted that, I could watch old Laurel and Hardy cartoons.

Thing is, top gear could make the same program, but without the mistakes and factual inaccuracies.

Really glaring ones like saying the 458 can't display the Sat Nav and Speed at the same time when you can see both in front of him spring to mind.

?

Im no returnee, but I sure have been a long lurker.

I can promise you that! Ive been browsing the forums for years now, and finally decided to get an account.

Its a good spirit here generally I think. Especially the Server forum and the Gaming section.

Who do I remind you of? I hope they came across as intelligent! lol.

Maccy · 21 Jul 2011 at 17:53

I think it's just the fact that you share a few IP addresses with some permabanned members, ones that are regular returnees.

Yes,

I must admit, I wondered WTF Clarkson was on about when he was suggesting the Jag was a NINE minute Nurburgring time.

Was he doing his usual thing, like when they used a Yugo instead of a Bentley to prove a point? Maybe Jag only let him or someone test when the weather was shocking, or perhaps they did something to pee him off somehow... still its poor..

Either way, it would be nice to find out what on earth he was on about with respect to that, as despite being an entertainment program, you HAVE to quote correct facts and figures when it comes to £100K cars!

How odd, I only got Virgin internet recently.

Mind you, when I bought this house there was working internet already with all the router and stuff still sat switched on and with full internet access, but was slow as hell.

Is Dr Pain going to get the chop? I know you guys are pretty strict with all that stuff.

Maccy · 21 Jul 2011 at 18:02

Really? Are you sure you didn't get 50mb Virgin Internet in May 2010??

It's 20Mb but only had one bill payment so far.

I wish it was 50Mb!

Wicksta · 21 Jul 2011 at 18:59

Right, so you lurked for ages, then suddenly joined and posted nearly 200 times in a couple of weeks, coincidently from an IP address that a previously banned member used and apparently in a similar style.

Yes, it's probably all just a coincidence.

Fr0dders · 21 Jul 2011 at 19:11

lol what a surprise.

I think so, the lime green XKR at Goodwood last year with the 75 anniversary spec did 7:58.

The RS does 0-100 in 8.7 secs for gods sake! :0

Can Clarkson not get sued for all the incorrect **** he says about cars on TG. I know its an entertainment show, but he says a lot of stuff in a factual way, even though its blatantly incorrect.
