Good job it wasn't citreon CV he was talking about <yikes>

Or Indeed the New Renault Arsebandit!

who thinks of these names?

and lets not forget the Ford Shirtlifter, that was gay!

I can't see what the problem is, so he called a car gay, it's not like he walked into a gay bar and called everyone flying faggots.

Besides, I heard on the radio this morning that there was only one complaint (out of approx. 6-7 million viewers!). Some people will complain about anything, just like the guy that complained about the cillit bang commercial.

hey i think we should all complain about the cilit bang advert, its rubbish.

Better than Shiela's Wheels <whistle>

my touquoise green Skoda Favorite was abit ginger beer.....

Well, the complaint was that in the ad, they demonstrated the cleaning power by cleaning a penny in cillit bang, the complainant claimed that the penny couldn't have been cleaned as fast as the ad suggested, so they had to change the ad to clarify that what was show was actually speeded up.

What gets me is that someone even bothered checking it out.

Ah, sheila's wheel, proper con artists. If you shop round I bet you could easily beat their quotes.

now hang on. we did it when very drunk, and discovered it didnt work. we didnt run off to offcom. "oi offcom, the penny test doesnt work"
no
we went and found more booze.

cillit bang

Because when you shout people think you must be right.

Even though your product is crap

Stuff like that takes me back to my student days. We did quite a few wacky things under the influence of alcohol, like blowing up a rotten pumpkin with bangers.

You can't deny the call of Barry Scott.

Cillit Bang

rofl <roflmao> <roflmao> <roflmao>

so from this i am getting that Shiela's Wheels, cilit bang (barry Scott) are not only a bit ginger bear but also crap. Is this the case?? I just don't know what to believe in anymore. <sarcasm>

A friend of mine tried to tell my that my car (Subaru Foerester) is the preferred car of lesbians (to try to have a joke at my expense). My response was that I had no problem that my car is perferred by people who like to have sex with women.
She stormed off in a huff as everyone laughed.

preferred by WOMEN who like to make love to WOMEN.



<dunce>

When Clarkson had his SLK AMG didn't the Hamster and Captain Slow have a laugh at Jezza when they revealed that his car came top of a survey of gay men for the car they would most want.

so I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body <roflmao> I can live with that.

and that's also just an assumption on your part that it's not prefered by men who like to make love to women. All the comment said is that lesbian's perfer that car over others.

I think my car may be a tad "ginger beer". It's a Renault Megane, which is a bit of a shopping car, but it is the sporty deisel model (the DCI 130 - I bought it before the GT came out) and it has been chiped (165 BHP and over 300 lbft of torque) so that sort of makes up for it.

I believe they did <think>

I've tried looking for a clip but I can't find it.

Clarksons SL55 AMG was voted 3rd as I recall.... it was the Jeep Wrangler that was top of the list...

Clarkson sold his AMG shortly afterwards.

I seem to remember that it was just before he bought (then sent back) his Ford GT. Don't know if the "gay" factor was why he sold his AMG, don't think he'd really care, just a decent trade in for his GT.

wonder if clarkson is uncomfortable in his sexuality then? i mean selling a car just because its 'gay'. sounds suspicious to me. He fulfills all other requirements to be a closet 'homosexual' trying hard to prove he's not one...

I don't think he cares, when Jimmy Carr asked him if he'd do all of the Corrs or none of them, he said "all of them, just as long he could get the bloke out of the way first."

isn't it the prick behind the wheel that determines if the car is gay?

oh come on, do you really think any self respecting straight bloke would drive a 206CC without being a little worried about people thinking he was a hairdresser (note - not barber!). Though I wouldn't say a 206CC is gay, just a little girly. ;)

I took a 206cc out for a test drive back when my eldest daughter was our only kid and would have been able to fit...does that make me gay!?! <yikes> I quite liked it too!

What's worse than a 206 cc?

Vanity fair gives its decision.

reminds me of LUAFC and MOT.. <roflmao>

I've driven a Copen. :)
They are better then you'd expect them to be but i'm only 5ft 2 and it still felt really small and unsafe.
I don't think it would suit a man. Perhaps it is a gay car but does that make me a lesbian? <roflmao> <roflmao>

How can a Mustang be gay? :(
Unless they are saying that all gay men have big muscles and the Mustang is a muscle car so it must be gay. <dunce>
I think the name 'Brett Berk' says it all. :)

Well, if the original Mustangs were like Arnold Schwarzenegger, then the curretn generation is defnitely Dafydd from Little Britain....

<roflmao>

So you wouldn't drive the new Mustang in case someone thought you were gay? <roflmao>
How do you know that your car isn't gay?

Because I don't have one!

<roflmao>

Nah, I wouldn't drive a mustang because it handles like a shopping cart with a gammy wheel. The Lotus Exige pissed all over a souped up mustang in one of clarkson's videos.

Well, how do you clasify motorbikes, bearing in mind that you need a leather fetish to ride one?

<peek>

Men in leathers is just wrong, you could be riding your bike one day and someone could think you are part of a village people tribute act
