Top Gear

Monday, 5 June 2006 ‡ 12:33

Top car show on telly when i was growing up was TG and i remember when this lanky bloke with fuzzy hair appeared on the show as a presenter.

I am glad the new show is 1 hour long, it was about time this subject received more air time.

I love the idea of a celebrity in a poxy car, as with my mates i reckon i would also get a quick 1m 40 something time.

What i would love to know is the speed at which these guys carry in the follow through.

I know the show concentrates a lot more on these 3 blokes pissing about in cars which cost more than the average semi for most people, part me says "Hey, well done, if they can manage to make money out of having people watch them drive around central Europe in a Lamborghini, Ferrari or Porsche, but another part of me wants to see some more of the real cars that everyday Joe would look to buy.

They do throw in these little gems, hot hatches, family saloons, sports coupés, but i think it would be nice if £100,000+ cars did not dominate the show!

Oh and Clarkson, stop stealing comments from emails i send you and blasting them on air as your own!

New Golf GTI

I was watching TV when i saw Gene Kelly Singing In The Rain - i thought wow, i have not heard this in ages... also began wandering what is this advertising, when all of a sudden the track went in psycho re-mix mode and Gene Kelly began body popping.

As the ad ended, i saw the top of a car come into view as the camera zooms out and a bee sting ariel on its roof, i thought argh, that's copied from a ..... and it WAS A GOLF, the New Golf GTI... wow what an ad, fantastic, had me hooked right from the start and it is so cool.

The car looks cool from the front and some part of the front three quater angle, but the back of the car and the rear three quater angle is ugly, which has got progressively worse since the Mk4.

The Mk3 is ok, very soft and feminine lines, whereas the Mk1 and Mk2 have a very aggressive and masculine shape.
