The show would be more realistic if they made it into a cartoon!
I stopped watching it years ago.
Now, to assist kitt 2000, it looks like the next series will be March 2013.
Top Gear rules..
It was also stated in the main Top Gear thread that the Christmas Special had been tacked onto the new 2013 series (at the beginning maybe?).
Middle-aged men poncing about in over-priced cars.
I 'sppose it does have an appeal to certain young men.
Digressing a bit.
Pity they can't even get insured for a Nissan Micra, the way insurance premiums have shot up in the last few years.
In my youth as a seventeen year old teenager, with only a provisional licence I insured my first car, third party, fire and theft, for today's equivalent of less than seventy quid.
A relative tried to add her eighteen year old daughter to her insurance on a ten year old 1ltr car a few weeks ago. Her insurers wanted another £4,000.
Still, it gets very good audience figures (which seems to prove that many still watch it).
And those that like it can watch it, those that don't like it can no doubt find something else.
That's the beauty of telly.
There is precious little on the telly,
Its about time we had something good..
Definitely correct.
If you click here and scroll down to the 23rd January, you will see the recording date. They record on the Wednesday and broadcast on the following Sunday. So the recording date of the 23rd means a transmission date for the 27th.
I've been to a couple of recordings, so I can vouch for that.
Great to see the world, as experienced by three blokes enjoying themselves without having to put anyone else down to be amusing. All good harmless fun.
You mean watching Top Gear isn't compulsory?
Who'd have ever thought of that?
I'm sure many posters will be eternally grateful to you for pointing that out.
I guess it's the closest thing many can get to owning a decent car. "No doubt."
Enjoy it if you like it, I don't mind, but I always thought it pants.
But thanks for your contribution here. No doubt some found it enlightening.
And as you keep on saying:
It's only telly.
She is 18 and incredibly high risk. Insurers are losing money on car insurance at the moment.
Hmm..
But anyone criticising a programme you like seems to bother you a bit though, doesn't it?
Where do you want to go with this?
No that's just "insurance and paper talk."
To make a lot of money, insurers now want to completely remove many calculable risks from the equation.
The £4,000 wasn't worked out from actuarial tables, it was just a way of refusing the business.
I'm not saying some young people aren't a high risk, but you can't lump them all together. But insurers now do.
Have a look around next time you're out driving, you'll hardly ever see someone under the age of twenty driving a car. If the police see them they often stop them as there's a chance a few of them will be uninsured.
What's 'paper talk'? Insurers lose money on car insurance, undeniable fact.
Hmm..
When did the last insurance big insurance company go broke?
That's a fact.
That would assume they do car insurance only, which they clearly don't. They are losing money, this is a fact unless you care to prove otherwise.
Err..
You know darn well it can't be proved. No one will release that sort of information. My point is that the insurance companies don't calculate the risk of young drivers, they completely remove it. Saying they don't make any money out of car insurance justifies continual insurance premium hikes.
They're always chasing this business you and they say out of which they don't make any money.
Funny that...
