      I feel like they didn't talk nearly enough about the cars themselves. They were just throwing the $500 dollar price tag in your face saying, "THESE ARE crappy ACCEPT IT". They never pointed out why they were crappy, besides being dirty and used. The average audience is so dumb, haha

            We don't have "tv", what happened to the clutch? If the cable snapped you can still drive it, just have to let it shut off when you stop and rev match through the gears. Unless you're on a steep hill you just put it in drive and mash the clutch down to the safety switch engages and you lurch forward while it cranks till it starts, then rev match up and down through gears. Don't really need the clutch cable to drive the car, though it is VERY convenient to have
            No festiva for me ATM...

              Well maybe after he's fixed up I'll let ya borrow shark bait and you can show them Festivas were not fairly represented.

                    I've never supported TGUS. They failed hard in the first trailer I watched. This is no surprise. Damkid, you now have a responsibility to put the damper on those people's slack-jaw ripping of a good car. With say, a race up the Cabbage Patch.

                      I wish there were more episodes of real Top Gear. It's like you wait forever and then it's only a few and have to wait again. They do get pretty expensive, I guess. And then there's the "unique way the BBC is funded"
                      Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.
