Ah Pumaboy, if it wasn't for Richard Hammond and James May providing some balance for Clarkson the show would be unwatchable. The Hamster is very funny in his own right....

I mean Hamster should be replaced by that German Girl she knows more than him.

Oh and she is better looking and funnier.

Puma: At least you're not stuck with American Top Gear's presenters.

Get over yourself, he's a petrol head just like many of us and I believe he's qualified to fly an R44.

Cars are getting tedious.

Surely it's only a matter of time before Top Gear moves away from driving to flying.

Clarkson is a real aviation enthusiast, May has a fixed wing PPL and owns G-OCOK, Hammond has an R44 RII, G-OHAM, and even Sabine Schmitz flies helicopters. They just need The Stig's 'test pilot' cousin.

Oh, and of course, there'd be the 'fastest lap in a reasonably priced helicopter' - for Jay Kay

It's clearly the future

Is this not normal aviation practise ?
I use this method regularly to avoid the 28 day rule.
Doesn't everyone ?

Jkay do you not think they will have to learn how drive cars first before flying Helicopters especially the Hamster he scares me.

Hmmm... Well, a smirking Q in DMCD was entertaining but, disappointingly, the rest of it was mediocre at best, plain silly at worst. At least there were two helicopter appearances to keep our attention

Hampster's replacement?

PUMABOY

If your hinting at the beautiful, foxy Sebina Schmitt (her wot took the 'Tranny' round the Nurnburgring), she'd get my vote as well.

Certainly like to see more of her.


..............Oooops! Said that out loud didn't I

Has nobody realised that most of these things are stunts and planned?
Surely not?

There obviously are people who take them seriously.

I still think it's the best programme on TV, in fact the only one worth switching the idiot box on for on a regular basis.
