    It is convenient that press coverage would appear a week before a new season.

    It's easy, find the nearest pommy whinger who doesn't know their own stupidity and feel that the rest of the country is dumber than themselves and need to be told what's safe. Show them the old clip, get them to complain (the only thing they can do with competence) and voilà, instant press coverage!

    I feel for Britain and her people who are suppressed by the safety nanny Nazi's.

    What needs to happen is they need to research and find out what really is dangerous. Like experiments such throwing a safety Nazi into a wood-chipper and see if the thrower needs to wear goggles. That kind of thing. #topgear

    Doesn't Ofcom understand? This ad gives us all hope. Hope, that despite Gordon Brown still being in number 10, that BNP has supporters, that each and every Briton paid £3000 to a charity called Goldman Sachs, and Tony Blair becoming even more powerful by becoming the whole damn president of the EU without actually being elected,

    there is still the Scirocco TDI. Life's not so bad. #topgear

    Meh, it wasn't that funny or that shocking. Would have been funnier if the TDI had hit him and killed him. Obviously the guy was a failure, so he should have failed at the suicide as well... #topgear

    I thought it couldn't have been any funnier. Plus, I liked the Poland invasion ad too. For those who were offended, I heard that a new season of "So You Think You Can Dance" is here. Go watch that instead. #topgear

    Was I the only person to read your last 3 platform variations as "Tourettes/Jessica/Rabbit"?


    On a lighter note, these vehicles have proved very popular on this side of the pond, and certainly look very smart in the metal. Haven't driven one, but my friend Amanda says that they cut the mustard. So to speak.

    Wow, I feel like I just got dumped on my birthday. That was cold. Not even going out for drinks and getting let down easy.


    What was it Baby? Is it me? I'll change. Remember how I always put fresh flowers in the vase on the convertible Bug dash? It can be like that all over again. Just slip me a little Scirocco...

    @UnlimitedRevs:
    Funny you should mention, i walked by a Mini and a C30 parked beside each other last week and thought the C30 was a much more appealing package.

    @General Halfshaftery: I was a huge fan of the C30 until I sat in one at the LA Auto Show and realized the pedals didn't allow for heel-toe downshifts.
