Top Gear

Yeah, this sounds like a typical SUE ALL THE PEOPLE Ambulance Chaser shitstorm.

Chris Harris, Sabine Schmitz and David Coulthard allegedly confirmed as Evans' co-hosts.

Sabine Schmitz is one of the best driver on this planet, as is Coulthard, even though he never won the Formula One title. Dunno about the other guy, he could be fine as well.

But the big, greasy, stinking, floating, horrible turd in that punchbowl is Chris Evans. I'm sticking to my guns - anything he's involved in presenting, I won't watch.

edit

Sabine Schmitz is unknown, according to that article. Giggle. She's not an unknown to anyone who ever watched her appearance in Top Gear taking a full size Ford Transit van to a time of ten minutes and eight seconds around the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

This, btw, is a Ford Transit -

And she was caning guys in Porsche 911's and superbikes, in something that weighed around one and a half tonnes and had the power to weight ratio of your average brick.

Apparently he posts drifting videos on You Tube or something.

i really think Sabine should crush Nurburgring records, specifically the one set by Stefan Bellof

So between this and the revelation that Evans can't snark and drive at the same time, my confidence is waning.

She's too awesome to be stuck in this shitty reboot.

She deserves better.

Gotta love that Burt Reynolds gif on that article. Most funny.

This show's going to be an acclaimed by the BBC trainwreck. They have to acclaim it, have to make out that it isn't a total disaster in the making, because they've painted themselves into a corner and have no other choice.

New month new post post. It seems I'm not the only one who thinks the new iteration of "Top Gear" hosted by Chris Evans is going to be a car crash, and not in an "ambitious but rubbish" way:

"Chris who, I hear you ask. Exactly. Those of us unfortunate enough to have lived in the UK in the past know who he is, and have done our best to forget him. Famously titled the Ginger Whinger, he’s one of those gormless, self-loving radio and TV hosts who make being famous look like the kind of job you can only do if you're a top-shelf twat. Like an even less likeable Rove Mc Manus." is only one of the nuggets therein.

Honestly I only know him because he was on old Top Gear.

Insert clip from Life of Brian here. Wait a tick...

Oh yes. Found it!

News post double post here.

It seems like we've got another new presenter on RMS Top Gear Tanic. Joey from Friends!

Full disclosure - I actually like Matt Le Blanc's post-Friends work as much as I loathed, hated and despised the actual show - so I hope that the catastrophic failure I want for the new "Top Gear" doesn't take him down with it.

I'd rather have him instead of the ginger tosser, rather than alongside.

It's too late for those (you already know what I think of them) at W 1 A to be that sensible, sadly. They've got too much pride and money invested in that talentless prick for them to back out of letting him front the show now.

They have added the Queen of the Nurburgring to the lineup. Chris Evans may yet not be enough to ruin this.

Not in this universe, sadly. Show's tainted by him.

Did The Stig manage to escape? It's bad enough she's stuck in this I'd hate for him to sink with this too.

Stig's still part of the team, sadly for him.

The Stig has become The Starscream and will spend every episode finding ways to hurt and humiliate Chris Evans. A disproportionate number of these will involve piles of manure.

I'd watch clips of that on You Tube as long as they digitally pixelate out Evan's face.

It's not that different from what happenned to Clarkson in the show, after all. A lot of viewers hated him but tuned in to see him get hurt, which he was quite willing to do in the interests of the show.

You don't have to take my word for it, but the amount of Brits who hated Jezza is dwarfed into insignificance by the amount of Brits who detest Evans. And I mean "would use voodoo dolls of him with pins to stick in them" if they thought they'd work.

Meanwhile, those gin-swilling... things at W 1 A are getting REALLY ambitious - if the show works, they want to move it to BBC 1.

Something a show with the massive amount of success that the Power Trio brought to it never achieved. I am torn between admiration at their chutzpah, and a greater desire to see their works brought to ruin.

I just saw the trailer on BBC America.

It looks like the old format but with the new hosts and I really just don't think they'll be able to carry it. So much of the show was built on the chemistry of Hammond, May, and Clarkson.

Thanks for the link to the trailer, but I don't think I'm going to watch it. EVANNNSSS!!!
