Top Gear – Winter Olympics Special

Special indeed. It’s well known that Tunnel Vision love nothing more than well thought out idiocy. Which is pretty much Top Gear in a nutshell.

Not content with a normal series run of smashing cars up and wasting petrol, Clarkson, May and Hammond used the extremely tentative excuse of the Turin Winter Olympics to race Jaguars across frozen lakes, 4×4s through icy forests and the coup de grace – sending a Mini (possibly a Mini because the Italian Job, like the Olympics, was set in Turin) down a ski-jump. Brilliant.

Oh and they played ice-hockey using cars and a big inflatable puck. Where are they getting the money for this?

I want to hate it. I want to. Want to. Want to. But how can anyone have anything but the upmost respect for doing the things teenage Max Power readers have only ever had wet dreams of. Bastards.
