Top Gear

I think now i can safely claim that my favourite tv show in the world at of this christmas, 2006, is Top Gear from the bbc. i mean think about it, that show has all the element i like: glossy super fast cars, drivers that are not afraid of tire wear and paint scratches, filmed in exotic locations all over europe and the studio is basically a huge garage, and 3 very quintissentially english-humored host with varying age, look and style to boot. oh and plus the opening scene is short and to the point. who wants to see a flashback of all the greatest moments of the show every time the show starts? hangon , that's 60 minutes...

the hosts are never afraid of calling any 250,000 pound super car "rubbish". well they just totally battered the new lamborghini and aston martin, and lamented england as a nation to have made Vaxhall corsa the top selling car in the UK. not to mention they made a huge mockery out of F150, the TOP SELLING CAR/TRUCK THINGY IN THE WORLD. why it outsells every other vehicle in this planent is toally behind my comprehension. i mean come on, the fact that F150 has a Ford GT engine does demand a certain degree of respect and its practicality as a huge and gas gussling truck is also appealing to fat americans, but the interior and driveability of that thing is just appaling. Oh and it's not even 4WD for goodness sake.

it's an undeniable fact that i've always enjoyed the british sense of humor. it's down and dirty at times and unashamedly brash. i just fall in love with anythhing british people do. sadly this characterisation of the brits doesn't tend to mean they make very reliable or good looking cars, except vanquish and land rover. the demise of rover was foreseen by moi ages ago when BMW had to delay the official launch date for Rover 75 a few months later due to quality assurance issues. i mean how shit is that?! it's RUBBISH! while on the subject of british cars, isn't land rover just a piece of MAH-JONG on fat wheels or what. i mean the range rover specifically. have they ever heard of a certain natural form named "curves"?

watching them discussing cool/uncoolness of cars, i suddenly have my own preference for car designed dawned on me: i like cars that has tight waistlines. yep, a tight waist. to me, lambo murcenlago (fuck the spelling) is just a car which is squashed by a hammer and become almost crab-like. i enjoy the feminine waist line of that of a Ferrari. clean and elegant italian designed waists are so sexy... and Accord euro, strangely cheap and simple compare to italian super cars, also possess that level of waist elegance i desire. Falcon is fat as a mid age heavy beer drinker.

ok wish u a very merry xmas and happy new year everybody! (except those who drive ugly cars)
