Lol i didn’t get half of what you said but yeah Lol.
OK 
You can’t get a truck licence doing what they did 
EDIT - at least, I don’t think you can…
Top Gear is one of the best shows on tv and last nights was one of the best they have done.Best laugh i had for ages.I still think Clarkson is a pr*ck,(mind you,i am a hato,sorry,womble,so i got cause to hate him 
)
I thought the ripper joke was funny the first time,and possibly the second,but then started wearing a bit thin imo.
Great episode
Here it is again if you missed it or wanna watch it again and again

just watched top gear and laughed all the way through and i bet truckers across the country were doing last night when it was on…
Certainly a good start to the series… all though i havent seen many walls of water cooler bottles on the roads recently …
think reversing would of been fun to see…and that magnum looked good in black…the tachographs would of made intresting reading 
Tuned in so wanting to find Clarkson get his comeupence, he did, there is a god.
Laughed in spite of myself.
Andydisco:
was I the only one to think of our very own Mr Vain when the Scania turned up all tarted up
That was Mr Vains Indian Cousin called Raffi he is over here for a few days.
and the missus said Clarksons Magnum looked like Goliath from Knight Rider
Yeah I thought they would of done some reversing… great show thou’ the best one so far
That magnum that clarkson had was for sale on the trucktrader site for ages!!! I noticed it as soon as it appeared.
As said before i thought it was hilarious, anyone offended by any part of it wants to get a life lol…
Apparently the Road Haulage Association (RHA) is in uproar over last night’s Top Gear, and has written to the director general of the BBC on your behalf to complain about the programme.
It reckons driving a lorry through a brick wall ‘trivialises the essential role of the goods vehicle in fuelling the basic needs of the UK economy’.
It is also ■■■■■■ off about the prostitute reference, and reckons ‘half-a-million lorry drivers take great exception at such type casting’. Having read your posts I think they might have got their maths wrong.
Yes, that part definitely was tasteless, and certainly didn’t need to be said twice, but on the whole I thought the show was really entertaining — and it appears that the bulk of you did too.
It actually showed just how challenging it is to drive a truck.
The Top Gear researchers and producers spent a good few hours on the phone with Truck & Driver prior to buying the trucks. They actually wanted to do it on the road, but were put off when we explained exactly how difficult and time consuming it is to pass your C+E.
They also didn’t like the idea of getting into O-licences and tachographs. Having seen their driving standards I reckon it’s a bloody good job they did stick to off-road.
The thing that ■■■■■■ me off the most was the fact they ignored all the ‘key issues’ that I droned on and on about to the researchers — like a lack of secure parking.
Then again, driving a truck through a brick wall definitely makes for better TV.

Top Gear is an entertainment show not a documentary. The lads are doing a great job if people dont like it dont watch it.

I have far more respect for the Top Gear team than I do for the RHA. In my opinion RHA do nothing for the road haulage industry and fail to represent the UK drivers in any useful way. Last nights episode of Top gear did more for our industry in 60 minutes than the /rha have ever done.

Bit of an assumption that 
. Shouldn’t they be spending their time on issues like fuel and parking ?

RHA
His phone must be red hot after ringing all those drivers 
.
best challenge in ages,had to ring my mate and get him to turn the tv on,spent the next 1/2 hour laughing, great show
I dont think Joe Public would have learnt one i`ota from that.
“Lorryists go to work, they sit down, they go home. How hard can it be?” J Clarkson.
…well just about sums up my day then!
That Top Gear was great fun. Not at all meant to be serious.
Some folks need to get a grip of themselves (or get a proper bloody job!). In Shrek’s book, you have far too much time on your hands if you;
a) take exception at cutting edge comedy (I can’t believe that out of all the members on this site, no-one’s willing to admit to murdering the odd prostitute or two here and there)
b) feel the need to write to the telly about a programme you don’t like, on behalf of others you’ve not even bothered to consult (RHA) 
c) post crap replies about being insulted by JOKES!
d) spend time trying to be politically correct to make yourself somehow more acceptable to others. I reckon if more folks were just themselves instead of trying to emulate all this politically correct bull-■■■ ■■■, we’d have a better going on, like when I was a kid.
Takes all sorts I s’pose, but for goodness sake, try to see things as they are intended. PLEASE! Before this country destroys itself.
Anyway, I really enjoyed last night’s Top Gear. It was very funny and I didn’t get upset at any of it 
The programme next week will be great fun - watching Clarkson lampoon the RHA letter. Can’t wait!
