I have been told that sometimes when I get a bit drunk, I try and channel my inner Clarkson, it isn’t funny, clever, or even close to the real deal, and that is pretty much what I thought of New New Top Gear. An earnest, if poorly executed attempt to replicate something truly unique.

I would imagine that with seat position and seatbelt/airbag sensor data it wouldn’t be that hard to figure out who was driving. That said, I have seen some pretty “individual” driving styles, so maybe its true?

I wanted to make one that read "Tax Paying Adults on Board, We Want to Live Too", but my wife said no...

We have a pretty big wolf problem up here in Northern BC, but people down South object to it, causing tension. I saw a bumper sticker the other week that read “Smoke a pack a day” with a picture of a wolf in the crosshairs. Don’t think that would get you much love in downtown Vancouver! Along the lines of this:

I’m going for my spring bear this weekend, I hope I don’t have to play football if I am successful!

For our first date, my now wife and I took a road trip to California from British Columbia, I did this quite a few times on that trip and she was very impressed. Only mishap was a metal container of quinoa got dislodged during some enthusiastic cornering on Highway 299 and ended up spilling all over the exhaust…

I don’t normally roll coal, but I will make the sky a little darker tonight, just because of this article!

I wonder if having his lunch nicked made him so sensitive about hot dinners?

I am forever impressed by the ingenuity of mechanics in developing nations. I once saw a kid in India welding on a truck frame using a piece of newspaper with a tiny hole poked in it as a shield. Looked like he was doing a good enough job there too!

I really don’t see what is wrong with stealing Chris Evans idea and calling the new show "Zippy, George and Bungle"

Better Title: "The Rotary Engine Sucks Squeezes Bangs and Blows...poorly"

In the eternal words of Ron Swanson, never half ass two things, whole ass one thing! Sounds like Chris is burning the candle at both ends, although and I hope the wheels don’t fall off too quickly. Either that, or the whole thing supernovas, that would be cool too...

I passed a 6x6 motor home on the highway yesterday and idly wondered how my FJ45 would look as a 6x6, now I know! Also, am I the only one who is quite put off by those wheels? Yeuch!

COTD Backwards is Driver Takes Own Car then?

Probably got permission for the "comparison" after a One:1 discussion with the track officials...

I hope future civilizations judge the hysterical social justice warriors who keep trying to revise history as harshly as they judge the past. I love Rudyard Kipling's work and read it taking into consideration the historical context in which it was written. I suppose that is a bridge too far for writers on this…

Bought a 1977 Toyota FJ45 sight unseen, breaks didn’t work, motor wouldn’t fire, clutch wasn’t functional. Replaced clutch mc and sc, break mc and sc’s, bled everything, and started work on the motor. There was a timing problem with the motor, which became immediately apparent, but I managed to get the motor running…

I liked the working title “Three petulant old men falling down for about an hour”
Alt:
-Zippy George and Bungle
-The Great British Car show
-Raeg Pot

Aww! True glove lasts forever!

Regarding autocorrect; Turn that darn thing off, reading peoples typo’s tells you a lot about who they are, how they type and what kind of standards they have. Also I don’t know why, but whenever I see a typo in an email or text, I involuntarily peek at my keyboard to see how far apart the letters are. Some mistakes…
