Proof that you can’t listen to what stock market idiots tell you. The shortsellers probably got rid of their shares solely because its widely believed that the motor industry is falling through the sky face-first, more than any other company. Had they actually done some background work on VW they could have predicted that Porsche would be circling them like hawks. And it doesn’t take much work to find out how sales are doing either. I’m not a stockbroker, but i’m pretty sure that if you have shares in a company whose sales are going up, that tends to be a good thing.

So £18bn loss for those idiots. I’m just disappointed it wasn’t even more.

I said it before, i’ll say it again, throw those idiots out to the street, shoot them, then hang them for good measure, burn the bodies and throw thier ashes to a nuclear plant, that should theach them.
Or else, pick 4 or 6 of them and throw them into a gladiator fight, where they’ll give each other paper cuts to death….we can throw in a tiger or 2 to speed things up

fitting the porker 914 blueprint down there on the bottom of the page –
vw-porsche from the 70ties

serves them right for trying to turn a profit by deliberately damaging VW’s shares and the economy

So every ward is now telling them idiots but believe it nor you don’t this is not the end of it and it will most probably backfire at them who call certain others idiots in here and more to hit them though since they are the ones to get knocked for the final lol. Stupids calls hedge funds idiots! specially the given manner in your comments Barlaw, be aware who you live around from now on.

Idiots call wall street idiots, you are not having the final.

there’s nothing like informed debate… and this is nothing like informed debate,

still since it’s time to gloat;its nice to see Brand and Ross squirm,shame Jerry wasn’t there

rule 1 the boss is always right
rule 2 if the boss is wrong refer to rule number 1

Pride goeth before a fall… =) $18bn… That could fund that hydrgen network somewhere..

The ignorance shown in this article is striking. You clearly do not understand anything of what you are discussing and thus your gloating only makes you look a fool. Hedge funds are an easy target for sure, but are no more responsible for what happened (apart from participating, itself not a sin) than you would be when driving a quality performance car that crashes due to a design error. The rules in Germany were badly designed: in Britain it could not have happened. Let’s face it if there is a tosser here it’s probably you for even implying (“us” – cheap and lazy journalism) you are feeling the pinch when you are a well paid journalist who drives cars for a living.

Great assessment, Jason!

Yup, I agree with Jason that you’ve got to laugh at the hedge fund managers for their dimwittedness, but I also agree with all the comments that we ought to be a little careful about the laughter. Whose money were the hedgies using to make their bets? Ours, in the form of our pensions, often. Sadly the City (or Wall St if you’re reading this in the US) doesn’t exist in a bubble, and experience of previous financial crashes indicates it’s the little guy that gets hit the hardest. The hedge find managers might lose their jobs but they already have big comfortable cushions stashed away in their personal piggy banks.

Paul

of course its massively funny until you learn that your pension managers had invested in the hedge funds so you now have to live out your retirement eating lentils…

An old saw in germany goes like this:
The only way to convince a fool of his own mistake is to let him carry out his own fooleries.
And I have to say:
this threat with all it´s epicaricacy in it is just a shame!
I loooove top gear but your overaged anti-krauts-attitude drives me up the wall since the beginning and this article brings it to the top!!!
“a bunch of tossers in Germany somehow manage to turn Volkswagen into the world’s most valuable company.”
as if it was the goal! we nazis win finally!!!!! lol
ARE YOU CRAZY???
it was made `the mvc` by mistake!!! Global acting hedgies tried cover their loses in shortselling by ordinary market return.
That´s it Full stop
piece
gee

Spare a thought for a minute, any one of YOUR pension funds could have been invested with some of these hedge funds and financial traders etc that have lost £18 billion!!!

As Warren Buffet said, Wall St is the only place where people ride into town in Rolls Royce cars to seek the opinion of those who ride the subway.

Good to see the debate heating up. I guess I should clear a few things up, though. I have friends who work in the City, some of them in hedge funds. Over a few beers I often end up questioning the morality of what they do, especially as – and several of you have pointed this out – it’s our pensions and savings they’re gambling with. Of course they’re not all tossers, but my irritation at this whole VW/Porsche situation was more motivated by the ludicrousness of VW becoming the world’s most valuable company simply because of money market chicanery. I am not an economist but I know enough to appreciate that our priorities are seriously messed up when something like this occurs. Especially hot on the heels of the biggest economic meltdown for almost 80 years.
Right, I’m off to read some more Keynes.

i always thought my 74-2 was a good investment!! now i know it! Q will porche be making the spares from now on or are they going to continue to be rebadged mexican parts? its got more cos its a 4

type 2 that meant to say- t.w.a.t keyboard!

stooge hegies! T his W ill A nnoy T hem! its code for quality control!

we may be goin bust…but hahahahahaha

Now that Jonathan Dross and Russell Bland have been binned by the Beeb, surely JC is now the most highly paid presenter and richer than the Queen. Difference is JC is worth it.

Just like ‘hate lazy journalism’ out it, you might want to know what you’re talking about before you write about it.

First of all, the hedge funds that got caught short weren’t trying to drive down the share price of VW. There are two types of VW stock that have historically been the same price. The price of the two stocks had grown apart and they were betting that the price would become the same again when all of a sudden Porsche announced they had doubled their stake in VW levaing the hedge funds in a short squeeze.

You can gloat about the fate of the hedge funds but bear in mind that the biggest of the hedge funds involved is Porshe itself: in 2007 they earned $ 3.5 billion on their derivatives transactions and this year they will earn even more, making them a bigger hedge fund than any of the professionals.

To the boyz, Your style needs to be shaped up. First of all Jeremy you have no right to protray yourself as James May, he is the only gent allowed to be inspired by Nelson Mandela dress code, (lOVELY SHIRTS). The only vision I have in Mind of James May, is his love of morden technology and image of Nelson Mandela (SHIRTS).Nothing really to say about Dicky the hamster as he walks in small steps in small shirts.

I LOVE YOU LOT

Aw that was such a funny show – brilliant!

comments regarding the lorry drivers murdering prostitutes not funny

Gotta love that news!, now the problem for Volkswagen/Audi would be is how big an impact this will be to it’s other subsidiaries ( Seat, Skoda, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti ), now that Porsche has this really huge stake in shareholdings heard that they might cut-off a few car line-up in some of them…

guys are we failing to see the silver lining here how about a Porsche Super Super car with the Bugatti w16, imagine that… or sadly even a porsche hot hatch a boxer mini what say..

I think this is going to be great. Think of all the combinations that will be possible.

A rear engined golf with a porsche engine. That will be so incredably hot

Also a buggati engined porsche how much fun!!!

hiya

I think this would be sooooo cool.
Just think of a bugatti porsche-I want one!!!

The golf porsche wouldn’t be as good but it would still be really powerful and cool.

Hi

Could somebody please tell me where James May got those crazy prices from on last nights show? Is there a website out there?

I can’t locate anything close to those numbers so suspect they’re repossessions perhaps?

More important than anything else – what has Richard done to his hair he looks like a complete idiot and what is it with that beach babe necklace he’s wearing. Please Richard sort yourself out your not 20 anymore!!

Not that this, or the comment I am replying to has anything to do with the topic this blog is about, but Richard’s hair is fine and dandy I think – it is much better than when it was short and I for one hope that he leaves it that way – he looks much nicer…..!! With regards to his beads, his wife made them for him, their kids and herself and they all wear them all the time. He is not acting like he is 20, he is wearing them with pride and I think he should do! They mean something to him, as does the ring he wears on his little finger. It seems all of a sudden that everyone has a problem with what Richard is wearing/having his hair the way he does – it is up to him and I think he looks very nice, all of the time!!! If he happens to be reading this at any time, I have a message – “Leave your hair, clothes and beads the way they are!! They all look very nice to me – don’t listen to any negative comments!! x”

Am lost!

The BBC have 500 complaints about Jez’s remarks about lorry drivers? Give me a break, it was witty if not funny and these people clearly haven’t got anything better to do than to try and find the BBC complaint number and winge! You know full well what you get when you watch Top Gear so why watch it?! I am female (but not a prostitute I hasten to add!) and I love Top Gear, I love non pc jokes and wish people would just stop moaning! Of course, the blinking media jumped straight on it and its now out of proportion! Why don’t the BBC disclose all the nice comments that people ring up with rather than the negative responses! Ooh so angry at these moaning *****

Good grief have people nothing better to do with their lifes than complain to the BBC about our Sunday Night God of television Mr Jeremy Clarkson. Top Gear is not just a mere television show its a form af worship for car lovers everywhere. Forget Obama and McCain Clarkson for President!

Has the public gone completely insane, are we no longer allowed to have fun?
If we all had to watch what we said, we would all be out of a job.
To the people who comaplianed… get a life and go find a sense of humor!
I support you Jeremy and love the show, It wouldn’t be the same if any one of you guys left. If people can’t take a joke, then they shouldn’t watch tv or listen to the radio!!!!

it was not funny at all.I have watched the show for years, but this series has fallen down in my expectations. Where were the cars on sunday? you spent half the show pratting about, I honestly wish I had switched off instead of massaging your over inflated egos by keeping the viewing figures up. Your production team need their heads examining after what has happened with the RB & JR episode.

What is the world coming to when people can no longer have a joke! Yes some times people say things that are close to the bone but laugh it off and get on with it! The citizens of this world are turning into boring ba*****s who can only think of complaining about everything! If JC loses his job over this it is an absolute outrage!

I agree totally with the outrage voiced by the rabid press, and whats more did anyone notice the blatant waste of mother natures valuable resources. The water coolers that were destroyed could have fueled and refreshed many a sandal wearing, tree hugging, soap dodging pain in the where Jeremy found his gear stick. If every member of BBC 1 does not lose there jobs then I don’t know whats wrong with this world.

I cant believe everyone is making such a big fuss over what was obviously a joke. And has anyone thought that there are actually two well known convicted murderers that killed women and were lorry drivers?? Im not in anyway saying that all lorry drivers are potentional killers but IT WAS A JOKE. Jeremy has always been a bit tongue in cheek and tells everyone what his opinions are. But just because you cant accept a joke for what it is there is no point in making such a big fuss. I enjoy top gear and my 7 year old sons idols are Jeremy,James and Richard. If top gear is taken off air i will complain

I have to say a thoroughly enjoyed Top Gear this week and laughed all the way through the show as I always do!! I can’t believe that that many people have complained for god sake if you want to complain, complain about more important things like interest rates and the credit crunch that what comes out of Jeremys mouth which was blatantly a joke!! There are more important things in life to complain about than a TV program if you don’t like his jokes don’t watch the show!! Simple!!!

It was Jeremy being Jeremy and there’s nothing wrong with that. The whole programme made a welcome return to the tv and was so funny throughout. From what I read just under 200 people complained after the programme was shown, and now it gets completely blown up by the media so we’re on about 500 complaints. It’s all gone a bit barmy!

i can not belive that so many people are complaining about what Jeremy said it was obviously a joke and a funny one at that.

It is ridiculous that there were people complaining!!! He jokes – that what he always does – if people dont like his jokes or comments dont watch the programme. I agree with all the other comments that have been made about the media making it worse – the numbers of complaints have doubled as a result! There is soooooo much support out there now for jeremy – facebook has a new group which I encourage people to join if you are on facebook, there are comments on here that support him, and there is also a discussion topic opened on facebook. These people that have nothing better to so than complain really need to get a life. If Jeremy is sacked over this the BBC will receive complaints – 7 million of them (less the people who complained about his comments)from the people who watched TG on sunday and took the comment as it was meant to be taken – as a JOKE!!!

PS – What does everyone reckon will happen in the repeat on Weds night??!!

British media. What a bunch of complete idiots. Fantastic show and just like every other success this country has the media try to destroy it. Three cheers for Jeremy, Richard & James. Thanks for all the fun.

Well done top gear team, laughed from start to finish on sunday eve, cant believe so many complaints about what was obviously a joke!! Dont listen to the ‘do gooders’.

leave jeremy alone!!!!!!!!

I hope they play it twice on Wednesday night, so I can laugh at Jeremy and then laugh at the whining weirdos who should be watching Songs of Praise. Heres a thought, why not just change the channel if you don’t like it, much quicker than moaning to the BBC. We love you Jeremy x

The Top Gear programme is excellent, the current media scramble for anything that is no PC is pathetic. the media should sort out there own houses before picking on others. Keep going Boys

aye no 2 bad

top gear is brilliant

i loved the opening episode of the new series cant wait to see the next episodes the previews look good

Great show, great fun. An antidote to all of the PC saddos whom have made the remainder of TV so banal that we all have to watch Dave on a daily basis just to get a ‘fix’ of what we all find funny. As for the hedge fund loss its funny but at some stage i’ll probably realise that its some of my pension fund that’s lost and so will move from being humoured to angry that some git has once again cost me money!

i agree with donny they should just leave jeremy alone it was jist a joke!

shut up ‘LORRY DRIVER’

the show is better than ever and is looking good for another great series
it stupid that people are complaing about the comment made on sundays show. we need comedy like that to take our mind of the credit crisis that is going on today
TOP GEAR IS THE BEST ( defanatly beats strictly come dancing )

I think we should all look upon sunday nights show as a public service anouncement! The public should be aware of truck drivers’ potential for murdering prostitutes. My husband is a truck driver and, I must admitt there have been a few times when i have infact suspected him of murdering prostitutes……….:)

250 complaints, compared to how many people viewed the show.
There are so many diverse people in this world that your not all going to like the same humour.
Calling for him to quit because 250 of you didn’t find it funny!
Get on with your lives and stop being so easily offended.
Terry Wogan offends me, you know what I do!! I don’t listen to him… It really is that easy.
With all the trouble in the world, your in uproar about this!!! GET A LIFE

18bn? Hmmmmmmm…… that could have gone to making…..36000 buggati veyrons.

I want to complain against the people who are trying to ruin it for everyone else.

Anyone know how to?

Let’s all write to Ofcom and complain about the number of stories there are about people complaining. People are just too sensitive these days.

Top gear is the last place on TV that isn’t PC. Jeremy’s comments and quotes is something to look forward to on a sunday night.

It’s the Show that isn’t scared to say
‘Wouldn’t be Kool if…..’

Don’t ever stop!!!!!!!

PS PC saddors go and watch the wine channel or read a book!!!!!

Right that’s it, i’m cancelling my subscription to the Daily Mail… I’m sure it’s their readers who are the ones complaining – I’m also sure about 300 of those 500 complaints didn’t even watch the show

Keep up the good work TG

i am a lorry driver and thought that piece about truck driving was absolutely hilarious. I had tears in my eyes, it has to be 1 of my favourite moments of top gear ever. love the show same as the other 7 million viewers that tune in every week to watch the brilliant threesome do what they do best.

the 500 complaints they got must of been from the 500 people in england that have no friends or life or have anothing better to do with there time. Bunch of Freaks. If anything this will build up topgears viewers. Go Top Gear you rule.

To all those 500 baffoons who complained about last weeks excellent show.. go shove your heads in a bucket of water for 10mins.

Its getting utterly rediculous that a little joke is taken so much out of context.

Keep up the great work guys, this pistonhead enjoys all of your shows.

Dear Mr Clarkson,

I feel I must take issue with your comments about truckdrivers… We’re not all murderers!

Some of us are just rapists

i am an ex class 1 driver, i have never laughed so much watching tv, sunday night is back and the sky plus will earn its living, to all of those people who complained please turn off, the petrolheads enjoyed that sooo much, jeremy HAS NOTHING to say sorry for as every lorry driver has a sense of humor, they need it.
rock on top gear

loved the truck driving what a scream, i was laughing all the way through, Top Gear at its best, TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO COMPLAINED FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO YOU SAD PEOPLE!!!!!!

I am not a HGV driver and I have never murdered a prostitute. So there is truth in what you said.

DON’T APOLOGIZE! IT WAS FUNNY!

“Does a nation get the media deserves?”, was the original conundrum. Do bloggers get the readers they deserve (such as aspiring hedge fund manager murderer,”Where’s my money!” – comment #2)?

Regarding changing gear and murdering prostitutes, is Jeremy Clarkson’s transformation into Alan Partridge now complete?

Why did 200 prostitutes complain? Lets face it, only prostitutes have the right to be offended. Why are they watching tv, get out and get some work done ya slappers! and if im not mistaken, prostitution is illegal anyway… bloody criminals.
I would like to complain about all the complaining that goes on! just stick up a flash 2 second disclaimer at the start of each show, ‘do not watch if offended by the outside world’.

Good luck and dont worry about the prostitutes, screw them! (see what i did there eh) a real knee ‘slapper’ eh eh.

I’ve always been a big fan of trucks, cars, prostitutes and Jeremy’s show, but most of all I love petrol and piston heads: they line my pockets with their dreams …. and make me laugh.

What a sad bloody world we live in and so pc…Get a life people (oh sorry,no offence to the dead). Top Gear is one of the only really funny and entertaining tv shows around, if you want tears and heartache and something to complain about watch X Factor!!! Keep it up top gear and don’t let the pc brigade bog you down.

What a sad bunch of people there are out there….. It was comedy. Go up.

Not sure what the world is coming to. We have become PC mad.

You know, Jeremy’s comments on truck drivers, black presidents in the white house, what next, will someone moan about the retards that have been in 10 downing street for the past 20 odd years!!!

Top gear is a cult, die hard fans who love the freedom of speach allowed from Jeremy and co.

May I suggest that those that took offence to these comments, turn over and watch songs of praise or some other politically correct programme and leave others to enjoy top gear for what it is, funny, topical and above all surfaces above a mad world worried about farting in public!

jeremy rules and he is what we need a no bullshit aproach jc for priminister

what is this world coming to , jeremy was joking about lorry drivers my husband is a lorry driver and we both thought it was funny cant people take a joke anymore ,keep it up jeremy cant wait for this weeks show

If the pm can shake hands with members of the Taliban why can’t TV presenters have the right to say what they think? Has this country gone to the dogs or should I say cats or may be badgers which ever one is meant to be pc. We all have our own points of view and the media have blown it out of proportion.

How many of the 250 complaints were from prostitutes or truckers? I’ve got a class1 and I thought it was very funny and so did all the other drivers I spoke to on Sunday night. I can’t speak for prostitutes but I’m sure if the money was right they’d agree.

I only watch top gear because of the humour. I am not interested in cars one bit, as long as I know it will get me from A to B thats all I need to know about a car. Keep up your quips and jokes Jeremy – they are very funny and what keeps me and probably a lot of other people watching the show.

Great to see so many people defending jez and the programme! Top Gear is the best! Love your comment Mark-Belfast!

And Lorry Driver, why didn’t you switch off then if you didn’t like where the episode was going? You know all three of them do stunts like this on a regular basis, this is what makes it so good. In actual fact, Jezza did say he had a whole new appreciation for “lorrists” hence the difficulty in driving an HGV!

Did cringe a bit though when they did the water cooler stunt, not a big fan of wasting water, just hope if was stale out of date stuff!

Hope James’s piano is ok lol!

Some people live and love to moan. It is their aim in life. If they were watching TG, then they are obviously fans of the show, otherwise why watch it. If this is so, then they must know Jez’s sense of humour, so again if offended then why watch. This man has the funniest sense of humour and I bet it would have made Peter Sutcliffe laugh. Keep up that dry and quick sense of humour Jezza. By the way first in the series was hilarious, can’t wait for the rest.

Mark from Belfast, top comment, absolutely hilarious.

if you are offended by top gear dont watch it.the daily mail is changing tack of late.instead of writing about immigrants it is taking to defend the plight of hookers.what is wrong with these racists.the daily mail is probably lorry driver hooker murdering choice

250 complaints? That’s what less than 1% of 1% of viewers. Since when did we have to cede to the views of such a tiny minority?

top show and well done clarkson!
I’ve yet to talk to anybody in the transport industry that has been offended by Sunday’s show.
the lads were clearly making themselves look stupid for our entertainment and putting themselves through it in the process.
KEEP ON TRUCKIN!
(A non murdering truck driver)

the people that have complained are probably the same peeople who believe Paedophiles are just “misunderstood”.
i have watched TG eversince clarksons return and the show goes from strength to strength. In my opinion ofcom should get the names of all the complainers and enforce huge mortgages on them. Why? because iv’e got one and i couldn’t give a monkeys toss who clarkson upsets as long as he keeps me entertained the night before i have to go back to work.
so to jezza, james richard and the team at topgear keep sunday nights worthwhile, non pc and entertaining.

Top Gear alone is worth the licence fee!!!!
Love Clarkson, Hammond and May!! TV brlliance.

500 sad sacks who complained out of 7 million who watch top gear.
What the f**k is the matter with the liberal tree hugging pr**ks in this country? You cant have a joke about anything anymore without upsetting some minority group!!! GOD HELP US!! These people should live in the real world were”black” humour is part of our culture(well mine anyway) lol. CLARKSON FOR PRIME MINISTER end of story.A journalist who isnt afraid to say what we all think anyway…
KEEP IT UP GUYS!! When the BBC bottle it and can the show(not that i think theyd dare) We,l watch you whatever channel your on..
LOVE THE SHOW just keeps getting better…

LORRY DRIVER ABOVE!!
Sort yerself out sad sack and go and murder a hooker! something to hide maybe? get a life.

IF u dont like JC’S comment’s pls change
the bloody channel,i watch every episode of TG down here in nigeria and i think JC absolutely
hilarious and he’ll be suprised to find out that he’s got quite a fanbase over here.
HANG IN THERE JEREMY!!WE LOVE U,AND U ROCK.
IF U NOT COOL WITH SUMONE LIKE HIM THEN I THINK
U GUY’S{500} HAVE SOME ISSUE’S.GET A LIFE

I agree with inatimi D

I even went into my Husband to tell him how funny it was!

It’s sad that there is so much ‘bad’ in the world but if we have to watch what we say constantly and always be walking on eggshells we might as well live in a ‘red’ country.

Go JC!!!!

oh wat a surpise the repeat were dropped tonight bloomin bbc

If the repeats dropped how about airing Tonight with Jonathan R….. Oh no can’t have that on, well how about escape to the country with George Miche….no, that’s not right. Oh just play it safe and rerun Hotel inspector with Richard Nixon!!!

There I wus, 56mph riveted to the middle lane of the M6, watchin ma fav show Top Gear, surrounded by ma trinkets and curtains made outa shiney dresses, when the boys wuz drivin riggs – badly, I larfed so hard I choked on ma sandwich an spilt hot coffee on ma gimp……………….

Keep it real boys, ya made ma day!

Where can I complain about people that complain? 500 complaints received about Sundays programme 12 million complaints received about the sad little curtain twitchers that live with there cats.

This is pathetic now a MP wants him fired well I say that MP and whole of government should get the sack for ruining the country, all Jeremy is doing is entertaining people during a miserable time

keep up the good work top gear

Great show on Sunday, the trucking bit had me and the missus wetting ourselves with laughter…

..how do I complain about the resultant damage to our sofa!

Keep up the good work, best thing on Telly for years. Can you get Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross in reasonably priced cars please.

Cheers

Keep Up the Good work – when the rest of Britain is going into meltdown what a welcome relief to hear some humour! Nothing like the Brand incident – just Jeremy being Jeremy – MP’s need to chill out – people obviously have too much time on their hands!!

Almost forgot – LORRY DRIVER – get a life and watch songs of praise if you dont like it!!!

Who is this nobody politician? Chris Mole will make himself the most unpopular politician in the country if Jeremy was sacked.

Mole is trying to make a name for himself and shouldn’t punch above his weight. Lets look at some Mole’s great (not) achievements:-

Voted for introducing ID cards
Voted for Labour’s anti-terrorism laws
Voted for the Iraq war
Voted AGAINST investigating the Iraq war

Jermey was making fun of the miss conceived sterotype of truckers and was actually doing them a great favour by pointing out many problems faced by controling such a vehicle.

Sunday nights Top Gear was (as always) Brill! I loved the truck comments, the hamsters hair is a little bit wild at the moment thou.

Give JC a break, he makes Sunday telly worth watching. Quips like Sundays make him who he is! a really funny guy!

Also, I’m loving Frowdey’s idea of Brand and Ross in reasonably priced cars!

Great show on Sunday, ignore the PC brigade.

Am I the Stig?

Keep up the good work – loved the programme like usual

I have Emailed the fame seaking MP in complaint. He should have something better to do surely. Unless his constituency aint feeling the credit crunch effects and have plenty of public funds? Lucky him.

Complainers – go watch the boring car show on Channel 5 if you don’t like Clarkson. The only person it could of offended is truck drivers and I thought they made the job sound difficult and flattered them.

It was a joke. Was not rude. Lighten up.

Love reading everyone’s comments, its great to see people who love the show rather than trying to get it off the air (MPs beware). Hate MPs, hope Jezza puts in a few snide remarks about them in forthcoming shows. He is a god!

The new season looks very promising, but whatever happened to THE COOL WALL? I bet some of these supercars would look great on it: http://www.facebook.com/a lbum.php?aid=2562&l=0a531 &id=1667586743

I think that Mr Barlow and Mr Horrell should circulate their comments and concerns to a wider audience than TopGear viewers. Our regulators should be asked why hedge funds – or anyone else – are able to artificially beat down a stock price, and thus threatening a company’s very viability – with no “skin in the game.” (totally independent on whether a company is well managed or not).

As far as I am concerned, either you own a share, and thus part of a company, or you don’t. If you don’t like what is going on in the company, you can speak up at the annual shareholder’s meeting, or sell out altogether. Our regulators should shut down these cowboys or more good firms will be under threat.

love top gear… i would hate it if all those pc idots who complained about jc joke about lorry drivers got top gear axed. tg team you are bloody marvelous

I love Top Gear as I have said before in another blog.

Now to the point. I don’t really like the Volkswagen Phaeton shown at the top of the page if I’m right. And I also can’t help noticing the Porsche 914 at the bottom of the page, who thought of it? Paul, Hammond, Clarkson, May or Jason Barlow? Anyway I think that Porsche (although I’m not a big fan of them) should maybe make a new top of the spec. 914. And create one maybe as affordable as the Panemera and as nice maybe as the GT3 RS. Can’t help noticing

HAHA i love it. Not just the article. But the “Hoist by their own petard” line. I’m glad someone else uses that phrase too. People think i’m a fool

this new gulf will be a bestseller this year
