They restarted the series 11-12 years ago with a totally new (and more fun!) format with ultimate funny nonsense guy Jeremy Clarkson as lead presenter.

 

Also recently released was a "How to Make your own Top Gear Film" DVD which I watched not long ago. Can give you a copy if you want

Not advisable, I'll be literally running across central to fetch my Phantom-X Type R at a carpark near to the esso.

 

If I parked at central I'll be stuck forever!

 

Once I get there I will immediately start filming Top Gear: Singapore :3 using the esso as a backdrop.

Our moderator Kev was featured in a recent Top Gear magazine

When I was growing up, we all wanted to drive fast. Driving fast and doing handbrake turns and spinning the wheels when pulling away from the lights: none of these things had been proven to win a girl's heart, but we knew from the way they giggled as we flew by that they loved us for it. They thought we were real men. So we went even faster until we crashed.

 

A car's top speed was everything. Everyone had a mate called Kev whose Fiesta could do 150. We all had stories about beating Porsche 911 turbos on the ring road. And traffic lights weren't signals to aid with the commuter flow of a morning. They were start signals. Red: rev. Orange: rev more. Green: dump the clutch. In my mind, that's what it said in the Highway Code back then.

 

The first time I was stopped by the police for speeding - and this happened very infrequently - I was so embarrassed that it had only been 88mph that I told my mates it was 118. And even then, they weren't impressed because, as we know, all of them had a mate called Kev whose Fiesta could do 150.

 

Now, at this point you are probably expecting me to call for the young people of today to put away their cycling helmets and their high-visibility safety vests and get a bloody move on. But I'm afraid there's absolutely no point. Because it's impossible.

 

It's not health and safety that's slowing them down. Young men are not programmed to tip-toe when they can tombstone. And nor is it those young role models on MTV or whatever it's called these days. If youngsters really were listening to what that lot had to say, they'd all be out in the garden, rearing pigs for market and weeding the veg patch. And they're not.

 

Now you know where I learned to drive, write and everything else

of course it is cool... but how nice would it be if the b-king doesn't have its retarded abs...

[Guest B_E_N]

why abs is retard?

[VidaK]

why abs is retard?

 

this only applies to the b-king:

 

the abs is very restrictive. you can't even do a burnout, or any other thing that seemed fun that requires you to use the brakes... so... suddenly all its 200horsepower seem pointless...

 

and you can't off the damned abs...

For a start a sling bag is safe enough, so long as it doesn't slip off your shoulders every time you brake. Can also put the bag on the tank in front of you.

 

If not comfortable with that then get a small rucksack. And if you're concerned with the schoolkid looks then get a big bomber jacket or trench coat with acres of pockets

i thought of putting some kind of tube or sack at the back just to put raincoat, cloth but i dunno what in the world they are called..haha or even a small sidebox anyone ever tried putting such stuff on their phantoms b4?

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Could attach a bag to the sissybar, just make sure it doesn't fly off! Cable ties can be useful...

Bro, watever it is, make sure you can lock them up or carry along with you cos others may just help themselves to your goods! If Saddlebags or Pannier/Top Boxes are not your type, den be ready to carry them along with you all the way! Cheers!
