the chap in the MG ZS on car nation? The "fast" one?
I see some fun ahead....
|
Is that bloke in the Rover doing anyone else's head in? If he mentions "this car" and the "power it has" one more time...

If we are drinking then it must be westons special reserve - get the seal of approval from me and no dosh!

I'm currently undertaking the kind of review that would have the ZS driving twit staring at his UB40 in horror. Please, please, please can I get a contract at his place of work? Please?
What a pompous twit. What kind of "customer service" could this guy offer? No interest in what's happening, but plenty of opnions.

I switched off very early on when the narrator described the Discovery the woman and 3 kids were in as a "people mover". Usual high BBC standards of research. How easy is it to read the damn name on the back of the car!!!!
mutter mutter Tunbridge Wells etc etc
|
|
They've got a lot of stereotypes on here haven't they?
|
|
Total nonsense. Switching channels in sheer boredom.

Please tell me these are NOT a true cross section of British motorists - if they are I might never go on the road again - not one of them concentrates when driving, bloke with Gold cars doesn't use seat belt, scaffolder spends most of his time on the phone, kids not strapped in either, bloke with glasses seems mentally deficient, Rover driver a nutter, mini driver smoked too much pot at Woodstock. And why can't these people who can afford £47k cars not afford a hands free set for a couple of hundred (or even £20 at Sainsbury's). I can't watch any more.
|
Damn... I knew I was meant to be watching something else instead of Big Brother!
So do I bother watching parts 2 and 3 then?
|
Nope. Total cack.
You have mail by the way.
|
I know...thanks... slightly scared by the presence of the Crazy Frog though.
Big Brother has my attention for the forseeable future so I'll let everyone fill me in on what I miss on Car Nation.

I wonder what stereotype i would be i was on that program? Im male, 21 years-old, drive an unmodified Ford Ka, i only do 5k a year, anyone?

Its not what you drive, its how you drive it! :-)

"So do I bother watching parts 2 and 3 then?"
Not unless you want to be totally depressed
|
I personally thought it was incredibly funny laughing at the people they had on there!
The woman in the nasty hyundai shouldn't be on the road let alone teaching someone else to drive.
The chap in the rover was the perfect rover customer and for that precise reason you can see why they went down the pan!
The woman who lost her son (Rowdy) really should move on with her life.
I could go on for hours talking about the freaks they used on the program!

Actually, the discovery was her hubbies car. She was driving a people carrier most of the time.
I think we can expect most of those featured this week to be colecting a Darwin or two in the near future.
My personal twonk award goes to the taxi driver in the Ferarri tee-shirt although the Rover man was a close 2nd!
Next week features a young lady in a series 4 Alfa spider, she's a friend of mine and has been described in the blurb as the "voice of reason" :)

Yes it was awful wasn't it. I should have stuck with David Dimbleby's series which I hope will come out as a DVD. (He was on Top Gear - predictably the Land Rover he's been driving gave him grief.
One compensation - at least I don't think I fitted any of the stereotypes. The sad man in the Cavalier looked my age but I hope the resemblance ends there....
|
Nobody's mentioned the mad man driving 500 miles a day in a taxi yet...:-)

I suppose the only one whho wasn't a stereotype was the girl who regularly does 200 miles in a 1977 Mini Traveller without breaking down.
|
>>without breaking down.>>
The girl or the Mini?
The traffic cop was also on the series a few months ago featuring South Yorkshire's traffic division.

I recognised him too, although I figured out that he had to be a cop as soon as I saw the T5 and the way in which it was being described.
|
|
|
|
He was a total nutter! It looked like he was driving a Zafira GSI - he can't be getting too much to the gallon on his 500 mile a day trips in that.

Only saw the bits during the ad breaks of Big Brother. My wife let's me watch Top Gear every week, but getting two hours of motoring TV time back to back would be an impossible negotiation!
The woman in the Hyundai was a classic - trying to reduce tailgating by giving out stickers, if that turns you on OK, but putting numerous numbers of these and a 'L' plate on the back window is a good way of reducing visibility. Maybe that's the idea, put on loads of stickers so you obscure the rear window and then you can't notice the tailgaters!
Did the woman with the kids in the back have to drive with NO hands on the wheel - one shot showed her with hands off for a few seconds.
|
There was one glaring error from the guy who claimed to own the road.
He said that there weren't any "muppets" on the road today.
WRONG!
There was one that I could see quite easily!
|
Am pretty sure he was tailgating a CRX and trying to get it to move over whilst overtaking a police Galaxy. Cut away to another shot though so couldn't tell for sure if was a police car, and it it was what happened next.
