nush nush have you ever been in the audience on top gear? If so why not

Plz respond

There was a years long waiting list to have a chance to be on the show and each guy in the audience HAD to be accompanied by a woman so it wasn't a total sausage fest. Which means you had to find a woman willing to stand up in a hanger one evening for hours listening to three old men talk about cars.

I did live close to the hanger it was filmed in though and drove past it many times, does that count?

one of my life goals is to find a torrent for like the first 5 seasons of top gear...

... i remember the first rebooted top gear episode, back in like 2001, it was winter and i was living in an apartment by a ice-covered lake in berlin, and ... i can't think of anything more nostalgic than those old BBC ads in the runup to the release

VPN and the BBC website. Or ITV. Job sorted.

Alternatively if you want to watch a wanker try a porn site of your choosing. Also free.

You do know it's been on the air since the 70's right?



You might know this, could never find it. 80's show, had a dude in front of a car introducing music videos, They were always vintage and the videos were mostly recreations, kinda like Top of the Pops.

Was on either the BBC or ITV. About the same time 'The Last of the Summer Wine' aired.

Last of the Summer Wine does Top Gear. I'd watch that, if they were not probably not all maybe dead.

Compo drives a new top of the line Italian sports car down the Hovis advert hillside village street.


Aunt Nora burning rubber. Would be amazing.

in the next sentence i added in 'reboot' to cover this :p

I'm guessing you left China before DVD piracy was mainstream. They had that, all of it, each season charged at 5 yuan per disc in the pack. So 3 discs 15yuan. I flat shared with a Top Gear fan, he absolutely lost his shit when I took him to the DVD shop and we watched all the specials on rotation most nights of the week.

Actually i knew about that, i had heaps of shows... band of Brothers, scrubs, West wing, Seinfeld, Frasier, Lost, what was that one with like Jennifer gardner or someone similar being a sort of secret agent in LA.. I think her boss might have been the "I've built you a good ship, Rose"/"it's a mathematical certainty" guy from titanic... plenty else... I remember those boxes on the shelves yeah i think i was just less of a motorhead back then... I'm hardly one now i just like pre-hd footage of the English countryside (Midsomer murders another one, time team too) and gran turismo

These days I'm afeared of accumulating discs because of how much space the folders take up when you gotta move place.. I'm trying to decide what to do with a bunch of switch boxes right now for similar reasons...

I've managed to get my hands on 20 seasons of the stuff so that's another box ticked.

Yeah i knew an English kid at the time with Top gear magazines in his bathroom, that's stuck with me

This sounds exhilarating. I'm glad you got to experience such joy.

It’s the right thing to do.

I'm just after waking up and need to go get one now and I'm not even hungry. FML. Wish Japanese vending machines were a thing here. Every bastard working in a shop wants to be my friend. 4 beers please, them smiling and asking about my life.

Every single fucking time. Apart from one guy, wore a blue shirt. called him "Mr. Manager" drove him crazy, promised him I'd stop. Saw him recently and the smug grin on his face like he'd won a battle. I was tempted but did promise. I'll chose another as I have no idea what his name is.

I'll welcome any suggestions, to rile him up again.

Stop beating around the bush and just grab it.
