Top Gear!

The bbc run a series called "top gear" its hillarious. In fact, most comedy programs on tv just arent as funny as this series for petrol heads.

Why is it so funny? Well, Im not sure originally it was meant to be as stupifyingly funny as it is, but a breif run down..

Richard Hammond - hamster - 36, kinda good looking, nutty, and game for a laugh. Kinda short, lots of jokes about him having his teeth whitened last series, most likely not true, but hey, was still funny to wind him up.
James May - Much like that odd uncle everyone has, nothing actually wrong with him, but then, hes just a kinda wet fish.
Jeremey Clarkson - world famous I believe, good laugh, very tall, especially when next to hamster.

They test various new cars well Maydoesnt seem to, just Hammond and Clarkson, they have a cleleb each week who go round the same racetrack in the same kinda family car, and go up on a scoreboard.

They have a "Cool wall" where cars are rated from totally uncool to sub zero.. depending on various criteria (often made up as they go along)

And then theres the challenges come sillys.

One silly was todo with a drag car and an airplane.. Which was finished in the drag racer blowing a caravan away, which was the funniest thing I ever saw..

Often the challenges are like May got a pilots license so had to fly from south of france I think to London, while Clarkson drove.. except of course May couldnt fly over various areas or at night as it turned out.. the races like that are always close.

This week the challenge was to make an anphibious car..

May got a triumph herald (about as old as me)
Hammond got a vm camper van (nick named the damper van..)
Clarkson got a toyota hilux (which they blew up, sunk, in a previous series and was deemed indestructable)

May fitted a huge sail to it but no keel, Clarkson put a very large outboard motor on, and Hammond used the existing engine to power a fan..

Hammonds van had little go, and struggled up hills and ended up being towed by clarkson
May broke his mast on the way, and broke down (as he inevitably does) but finally made it..
(Both May and Hammond
Clarkson had the least issues on the way to the water, having none :)

On entering water, Hammonds fan broke.. and rapidly began to sink. Clarkson leant him a spare outboard but it just helped it find greater depth to sink into
May did well except he floated into weededs before his sail was up, took a while to get going.
Clarksons did well, motor going.. and could do a good speed

Clarkson finally gave hamster a lift, Clarkson and hammond bombed down the water, a little too fast, and the front began to dip, taking on water, he made it to the finish first but in stopping, he rolled it.. his time was over.

Sadly for all, May made it up the ramp, well partly, took him forever, but he won!!! Now theres a turn up
