You could flog it to Clarkson as a company car.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Chump_and_Sons

"In late-2015 the organisation acquired four Reliant Robin three-
wheelers as company cars. The fleet of four cars for Clarkson, Hammond,
May and Wilman cost under £15,000"

Looking forward to TGT (Top Gear Two) hitting the torrent sites Sunday.

Just "Pig"
We had to create an extra paved bit in the front garden which is known
as "the pig place"


Should fly through an MOT and I'd think the driver seat could be
switched for the passenger seat as neither have any adjustment knobs.

You can go round roundabouts and right hand bends quite a bit faster
than left handers without any passengers.

Prime seems to be on offer at £60/year at the moment, but seems it

Although I like TG I think that Clarkson does better work
with his documentaries. It is a shame he did not do more
of that.

With TG the series before he got the push was tired however
to be fair the series in which he left was refreshing.

I thought that Matt LeBlanc was a lot better that I thought
he would be and its good to see him doing another season. Perhaps
they can get rid of Eddie Jordan.

With the Amazon TG I thought it may have been a cross between
TG and James May's Man Lab (which was ok but needed something).

Bugger that for a game of soldiers. Another buggy pile of M$ crapware.

It had run out of steam.

I'd thought perhaps the majority of the ideas came from the three of them.
But an interview with JC on the BBC the other day said otherwise. They
relied on writers and researchers. And the BBC had failed to secure new
ones or whatever with plenty of fresh ideas. JC implied because they were
either not well enough paid and or given the credit.

So for the Amazon version to be a success will be down to a decent
production team. And US TV companies tend to be very good at this - while
they have the enthusiasm for it. But you won't get the best staying for
long if it isn't a success.

Thats because in both cases they buy a frigging toolkit that 'does it

Actually embedding an MP4 video for HTML5 is a piece of ****.
