Marcus, my colleague, introduce me to Top Gear, through Youtube, and I am hooked ever since. Who could have guessed that I like fast moving cars! never own either a fast or a slow one myself; and now I am watching episode after episode of Bugatti Veyron (sigh), Ferrari Enzo, Mercedes SLR McLarren, BMW Z4 (my dream car still), Aston Martin DB9, Ferrari 430, the Atom, and dozens of other cars that make me absolutely drool....
The wonderful thing about the show is instead of hosted by a bulky hunk or a slick sales-man type guy, its hosted by 2 grumpy old man and their "grandson". I am off course refering to Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, the trio that keeps bantering and bickering among themselves and providing us with such entertainment.
Not everyone might agree to Jeremy's "insults" of the americans, the Malaysia's perodua Kelisa, or any other cars that he destroys, but we had a good laugh over his antics.
The other hilarious thing that made me glued to my computer screen is their "mucking about" activities, such as assembling a home made human carrier convertible, modificating an amphibious vehichle, stretch limos (I still can't believe James made that 2 headed limo) and other challenges such as the tractor race (which one is the slowest!), cheap van competition, Jeremy racing around nurburgring, etc.
(As I am writing this, all of the challenges are posted in Youtube)
Marcus is reading up a book "the world according to Clarkson" and I think I am going to borrow for a peek after he is done, must be full of Clarkson's complaints as usual....hahahhaa.....

BMW Z4 is your favorite car.... ow.. come on.... that is the most ugliest car i ever seen in my life, its like a human with a big head, it is so no proportional in shape. you must be humorous if that is you favorite car.......
The Z4 is nicely proportionate! its compact and nicely designed....no matter,..I still like it...(for now)...haha
if i were you, i will choose Mazda RX-8, better look than Z4, and of course more affordable than Z4.
yeah,..but its not a roadster (with a soft top)...I quite like the design of the "little" door at the back, but they sort of distort the image of a coupe ( a bit too long-ish for me)..
hm..... the Nancy that i know all this time.. has changed. that is a first time i hear a girl talk about roadster... normally girls are blind with cars.... way to go sista......
