Still not impressed by the apparent lack of dogs.

Not really, where do you think all those ghosts with an interest in Riveras come from?

Not to mention all the people going “Oh, that dude doesn’t know shit about how to operate a camera, he’s never had a stedicam rig before” etc, etc - When that dude, I’m pretty sure, is Gustav Penna, a pretty well respected bike photographer and Stedicam operator. I remember one, he’s running a rig with a gimbal mount…

Don’t worry, didn’t think you did. Just an offhand comment about our currently slogan-obsessed political scene.

My advice - if you can find either a C22 1985-1994 or a GC120 Nissan Vanette around the traps, get it. Light, balanced(well, for a van), handles well, piece of cake to work on, and you can stuff a 3L BMW v8 in there with relatively little modification.

Just make sure you do something about airflow around the engine for…

Well, in that case, I’ve got just the thing for you:
Ripping it up at Summernats 27

I used to be a political reporter, and honestly, if I never hear the words “We stopped the boats” again, it would still be too fucking soon.

The only people who don’t are those that are lucky enough to already be there.

Yep, same van. Check the vanity plate.

“and adds to toxicity in a variety of ways”

Don’t worry, we’re Australians, we’re here to help.

It sounds cool, but I think I’ll wait for the DLC that makes it not run like absolute dogshit on a PC that exceeds the reccomended requirements.

Yeah, too right on that. Okay, say you don’t like the show - so, in what world is the appropriate response to go around hurling abuse at people like a fucking maniac, instead of, oh I don’t know, turning it off and not watching it?

To be perfectly honest, I think either way, it would be the wrong Chris Evans. Because to borrow a quote, it’s just a TV show, you should just relax. What kind of overwrought fucking psycho would someone have to be to go about hurling abuse at people over a TV show that they can just - and stop me if this is just too…

To be honest, while Genisys wasn’t the best movie, or even the best movie in the franchise(not that anybody was claiming it was), I still rather enjoyed it. I set my expectations appropriately, they were met, and in some cases exceeded, and overall, it was pretty alright.

While I seem to have liked it more than you did, I agree on that point - the worst thing the show could do is have a slavish devotion to the previous version’s style. If they’re going to learn something from prior incarnations of Top Gear, it’s that you shouldn’t just try to be the last group - That’s how Clarkson’s…

Sources at this time cannot confirm if the owner was playing Adele on the stereo at the time of the incident.

While I had my quibbles with it, on the whole, it was enjoyable. I mean, not a patch on the previous incarnation, but shit man, first episode, I’ll give them a break.

Nah, I want them to do something interesting, not just rehash the last series.

“Honestly, at this point I’d watch it purely out of spite, after having to endure all that tabloid shite Murdoch’s rags put out about the production”
