@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Probably because the BRDC is a stuffy, tweedy, exclusive club and would never admit a jumped up used car salesman like Ecclestone into their hallowed midst, especially when his own people don't want anything to do with him.

@alowishus wants to run a Saab Sonett III at LeMons: I would posit that American car design, circa 1969 to about 1973, can stand toe to toe with *any* other era from any other country.

@Elhigh: "What happened to the Camry?"

@Thomas Paladino: In typical BBC fashion, all manner of tat is sold to simpletons emblazoned with the 'Top Gear' logo. One such tawdry licensed item was a seriously unfunny 'book' about motoring and the Top Gear TV show. Inside it had some sort of 'guide' to filming an episode and one of the gags was 'move all the…

@abgwin: If you have better legs than me, you die. Bitch.

@Blix: Slightly disturbingly I would take that woman over the Evo in a heartbeat and twice on a WRC weekend.....

When the revolution comes anyone who uses any variation of the phrase "I'm loving" (we're loving, loving that etc.) will be first against the fucking wall.

@Turboner: You mean you didn't do the gentlemanly thing and strike a match in there before the good lady's entrance?

Lancia Gamma Coupe. Achingly beautiful and almost certainly a path to emotional and financial ruin. Just like any good Italian mistress should be.

Sounds like exactly what it is - a soulless logical attempt at aural art. It doesn't even sound like it is revving that hard.

@H. Mushman: I've been told I should having lived two lives and currently starting my third. How cliched of me that would be.

Talking about cars being banned by name, made me remember something from my childhood.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... #qotd

News at eleven, the neue Silver Arrows have revealed their 2010 humourless automaton driver line up:

@Doshu: Darn tootin' it should be. Or JPS style black and gold, or Camel style yellow and blue. Any would be acceptable.

@RetardedSparks: A racing Mercedes should only ever be silver. It's the law. Witness the W196, 300SLR and C9 Group C car. Incidentally, if memory serves the last time Mercedes had a works team in a major world championship was the Group C cars piloted by an all german dream team of Karl Wendlinger, Heinz Harald…

One can only hope the team JDL BMW 2002 was painted Jewish Racing Gold. #tshirt

Christ that cover is a disgrace - it manages to besmirch two beautiful things in one badly fonted eyeful. #bookreviews

@FTGDWolverineEdition'09: I've already had a 110 Van as my daily wheels. Dog slow, steering heavier than a boat anchor with a side order of wandering all over the road on noisy off road tyres. And I loved it. #qotd

Weak, seriously weak. Not honed on the anvil of journalistic quality you keep in the garage like your usual output, that's for sure. #topten
