Title: Top Gear magazine this month
Post by: Anonymous on August 8, 2005, 17:04
Anyone got Top Gear mag this month yet? If not, I suggest you do. There's no bits on the MR2 or anything like that, however it does come with the greatest free gift ever...

A MAGNETIC COOL WALL FOR YOUR FRIDGE!



Here's mine (click for larger image):

Nope, it would go in the 'Uncool' section. If you understand how the Cool Wall works, then that's the only possible place for it.

It used to be. I think she shacked up with someone so they now use Fiona Bruce.   s:? :? s:?

Suzuki Liana and Skoda Fabia are 'cool'?   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:  

why???????????

that is wrong on so many levels

and the Disco and Fiesta ST at sub zero!   s:x :x s:x  

I am sure both Scott-Thomas and Bruce would agree with me on this.

I stand by my decisions.

The Liana is cool simply because of the Top Gear connection (would you even notice one in the street otherwise?), and the Fabia is essentially an Audi without the 'Look At Me!' four circles on the front. Understated cool.

The Disco is supremely cool: the best off-roader bar none, and you can't tell me the whole electronic-suspension setting thing isn't awesome! As for the Fiesta ST... That's a personal one. I love those cars, and with a bit more oomph I'd be tempted to get one as a second car. Anyways, I'm from Essex, I have to have a Ford in there somewhere!   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

IIRC the 2 is on the TG cool wall on the far right of the "cool" section.

Look out for this picture next time you watch it:

hehe, was a tad too large, forgot too resize it first   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  

And the 350z is not a car, it's not particularly good looking, isn't a particularly great car by all accounts, and is slower that the 300zx, and I wouldn't buy one...so uncool!!   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Post by: Peter Laborne on August 10, 2005, 11:10
Not sure. I swear it is still in the cool section. Have to look out next time it is on.

BTW - did anyone read Nuts the other week. Jeremy Clarkson was listing his top 5 cars to sħag in. Up there with the Range Rover, Aston, Hummer was our little 2!!!!  s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

Amazing - Clarkson is well over 6 foot. How on earth can he manage to get in the '2, let alone bonk in it?  s:? :? s:?  

I have trouble myself, and i'm only 5ft 10. And there's never anyone in there apart from me   s:( :( s:(  

Oh dear.

.....and Britney, of course   s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:    s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:    s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:
