Mission: yrntuwatchin TG? Fiesta edition

Top Gear is the coolest automotive show on planet earth, science has proved it. Each episode is a different epic story surrounding a vehicle that is either ridiculously expensive or ridiculously cheap. In the first part of this series I shall feature the Ford Fiesta test, which is neither ridiculously cheap or expensive but it is their most thorough/entertaining road test. Begining as a response to an imaginary complaint letter from the host of their main competitor, Fifth Gear, the review starts out as any normal car review would, but ends on a very high Top Gear note.

The brain behind TG [the start of a series called "ppl u dont know"]

Andy Wilman:

heard of him before?

nope

thought so

Why is he important? If it wasn't for him 5th Gear would be the stuff we'd be lolzing at and Top Gear would be a relic. The silent genius behind the revival of Top Gear, the birth of the stig and the guy who sets up 'em cheap car challenges.....maybe, jus maybe I'm giving him a bit too much props but meh i rates him.

What I've learnt from Top Gear

misquotes, theories and speculations from Top Gear

• You can't be a true petrol head unless you own an Alfa Romeo
• Making a car faster than a Ferrari is a social no-no, kinda like vomiting on the Pope
• A tuned exhaust makes cars sound as fake as a hooker's smile
• A Koenigsegg is more comfortable than being stabbed
• Keira Knightley is an ironing board with a face
• Stig has a full sized tattoo of his face, on his face
• Jesus had a Honda
• The Viper is the american equivalent to a supercar in the same way George Bush is the American equivalent of a president
• Oversteer is always better than understeer cus u wont see the tree that will kill u
• If a Spyker and a Ferrari were to meet, the red car would pass the dutchie on the left hand side and be gone
• The only thing about a Spyker is that it looks like a fish, not a cod or a shark, but a bottomfeeder but then its dutch and they like that kinda thing
• TVR's argument for not putting airbags in their cars, "Don't crash then"
• TVR builds their cars, put it on sale, and then found out how it handled, mainly from customers complaining about how dead they were
• Owning a TVR is like owning a bear, its great until it pulls ur head off, which it would
