Iris de la Torre, a jewellery design student in London It seems that her nationalist fervor for Mexico is not sufficient to induce her to live there. Flatulence too much for you?

You are probably right - Clarkson would have said that about Americans.

And Captain Slow would have said it about the French. Shortly before advocating carpetbombing Bordeaux.

The Brabus Biturbo V12 Merc, and the Koenigsegg CCX. The Koenigsegg was the one that went off the track at 100 mph and “ate” part of the tire barriers.
I’m actually surprised that Hammond said what he said. That’s definitely more of a Clarkson line for sure. Seems like he’s always the one to say the controversial stuff, except for the French-bashing, which Captain Slow gleefully participates in.
And for as much grief as they give America and Americans, I think secretly at least Clarkson and Hammond like it here. I’ve seen the special where they came back to the US and went from the Blue Ridge Parkway down here in NC, took a drive at North Wilkesboro Speedway and Virginia International Raceway, and on up to New York. They genuinely seemed to be having a good time in North Wilkesboro with the locals, even if “they only spoke hillbilly.” :)

It was Hammond. I had to abbreviate the title to fit FR. Hammond isn't exactly known for his love of exotic food
During the Vietnam Special
Clarkson: but we were ahead of schedule so we went to have some breakfast. these are chicken innards. well actually it doesn't say chicken innards, it says internals. we've ordered pickled pig's ear, with vegetables dipped in season sauce spelled wrong. speak of the devil, the sparrows have arrived. wafer thin sparrow?
Hammond: no i'm fine.
Clarkson: but after 7 days, he had to eat something. good news! Richard Hammond is eating rice....(beat)..... it's rice krispies.
Hammond: is it rice?
Clarkson: yes
Hammond: am i eating it with chopsticks?
Clarkson: yes
Hammond: then i am as native and local as you.

At least they didn’t mention that the car would show up uninvited in your garage, siphon the gas from the automobile you paid for, and only run when it wanted to.

I think they've done that with some of the over-powered Mercedes.
Yeah I think it was the Merc C63 AMG, Jeremy called it an axe murderer if the stability control was turned off IIRC, was a couple of seasons ago. Not sure why the Mexicans didn't get upset at that, seems to describe many of the happenings there quite well also ;)
I so love TG, hope they don't back down, they haven't yet on many other 'incidents' :)

Just got around to watching the first episode of the new season, where Captain Slow advocates culling half the French population... for once I could agree with population control ;)

In a nation where political correctness has become law in some instances, this can’t be lightly dismissed as being as ridiculous as it seems.

And don’t forget the Golf with the Lamborghini engine. That wasn’t a production car, but frightening in any case. It’s like those guys who used to put Porsche 911 Turbo engines in their VW Bugs. Suicide machines.
