RE: Top Gear comes 'to rest' indefinitely
Discussion
Yes the Clarkson, May, Hammond episodes were getting pretty stupid.
Then we got Chris Evans chucking up after going round a track with Sabine (RIP), Matt Le Blanc, Rory Bremner and Chris Harris who is actually a real petrolhead.
But I thought it got better with Chris, Freddy and Paddy - they seemed to develop a bit of camaraderie trying to help each other unlike the Clarkson, May, Hammond era when they would sabotage each other!
Such a shame about Freddie's accident, but racing a 3 wheeler looks like an accident waiting to happen to me.
I just hope Chris Harris can find a niche somewhere.

Towards the end Top Gear was extremely tedious and not very entertaining imho.
Chris Harris is obviously a great driver but I seriously went off him after following his Instagram account for a while- if anyone dare be critical or slight him in a post he would sometimes slaughter them in response- he came across as a bully and not very pleasant.
Same here. I went off him after the whole Litchfield/JWW debacle. Using his position as a BBC employee and public figure to go out and try to destroy the reputation of a YouTuber over a private business offer. Bullying at its finest.Chris Harris is obviously a great driver but I seriously went off him after following his Instagram account for a while- if anyone dare be critical or slight him in a post he would sometimes slaughter them in response- he came across as a bully and not very pleasant.
I wonder how he would have felt if someone tried to ruin 'Chris Harris on Cars' when that was his occupation/passion.

Even Pistonheads has become a joke. The slogan "SPEED MATTERS" has been dropped for a snowflake political correct 'Stop dreaming Start driving'

Who pays the licence fee?
And subsidise the Government News? (We mock other countries for having state media news. And if you ask any foreigner who has come to this country, you'll find that they have the same opinion of BBC News.)
Don't pay he licence and they send you a letter every fortnight. You ignore it and then once in a decade someone comes round to your house. You close the door in their face, and they're powerless to do anything else.
(TV detector vans simply don't exist: nobody's ever seen one, nobody's ever been caught by one, nobody's ever worked in one. Plus they've been telling us that they have that technology since the 80s.)
I read a piece by an ex-collector who said that the only way they ever caught people was if those people were so obedient to 'authority' that they said 'yes' to the question, 'Can I come in and see if your TV is on?', and then it was.

The slogan 'Speed Matters' being dropped from merchandise is an own goal for PH. Most proper car nuts give it only scant attention these days.
If I may, this little bit of historic Clarkson will melt a few snowflakes....
Welcome to the machine....
