Oh God - you can't even get away from George 'I need 2 livers, me' Best on ukrcm! Thought it was OK tonight - not as funny as last week, and I thought a 3 minute review of the Zonda F was cutting it a bit short.... And how sick are you of JC's Stig routine: "Some say he's almost as tedious as me; all we know as that we make him wear a helmet all the time" |
feature one in every fucking episode. I'm sick of hearing 'Zonda this,
Zonda that' - they may be fast, but they're brash, tacky and ugly.

hellishly expensive and stupidly impractical. So the Zonda has all bases well
and truly covered.

It was bloody funny though :-D Did anyone else nearly wet themselves laughing when Clarkson's engine finally died? Oh yes. That was awesome. Especially as it took the brakes with it :-) I loved the way Richards door fell apart every time he closed it. Next week the Bugatti, at MPH05 JC claimed to have had over 240 out of it. There is no one who could honestly say, given a free run with a Veyron like he was, that they wouldn't try and see how fast they could go  read on MSN.co.uk that it tops out at 253mph! http://cars.msn.co.uk/carnews/ttfastnov05/ at the bottom :-P |

one I think the only one you can comment on is the looks, and even on
that you are so so so wrong.

What was that chrome dash all about - and was I the only one who noticed
that it seemed to be attached to the car with blu-tak?
If I'm spending that kind of money on a car, I want looks, not some
ugly, gimmicky thing like a Zonda.

Hmmmm. 99% of the population wouldn't know who Richard Burns was. Although he was a fucking good rally driver, he wasn't anything special, he didn't do anything groundbreaking. Best, on the other hand, was the first true megastar in football - not only was he arguably the greatest player ever to grace a football field, but he also established the trend of footballers as household personalities. *Everyone* knows who George Best was. -- Well Burns was a world champion in his sport, with still plenty of talent |
Best was a football has-been who drank himself to death, and deserved to die
IMHO.
I havent seen anything on TV about Burns, and just one little mention on the
radio. Best is all over the press everytime you look at it. It was a
refreshing change to hear about Burns, with no mention of Best!
