Will do volumptuous. Never heard of him before yesterday - I was reading comments in that British TV Car show featuring the Ford Fiesta when someone mentioned the name of 2 songs by Amon Tobin. Went to youtube, and found this one, and loved it!

Not from me! Look at Top Gear, it's contrived and heavily scripted and certainly disingenous with many of the filmed segments. I don't mind as it's fun to watch but apart from the opinions expressed the show is not to be trusted


Erm, isn't that the whole point of the show?!

And yes, it's the only thing worth watching, along with Harry Hill's TV Burp.

i read that as sarcasm.

At the end of the shopping mall segment, it's Klazz Brothers & Cuba Percussi, 'Air'. The beach assault on the other hand was supplemented by Tchaikovsky's '1812 Overture'.

I think I used to know this, but what's the name of the classical piece at the end?

It's actually one of the very few programmes worth watching on the BBC <IMG class=smiley src="http://static1.videosift.com/videosift/i/emoticon/wink.gif">


This and QI.

>> ^honkeytonk73:
Umm.. sorry, but I can't take ANY of that seriously. Lame mall chase. I wonder WTF that is suppose to prove other than to keep the attention of those with low IQ.


Well it worked on you

It's called a commercial. All commercials are like that.

^Yeah MarineGunrock - that really is a captivating Fiesta, isn't it?

>> ^balabing:
Why isn't Ford selling this and the new Mondeo in US?

Because they're idiots.

Did anyone see the episode in which the boys drove from Basel, Switzerland to Blackpool, England to turn on the Christmas lights? They all got nearly 1000 miles out of a single tank of gas.

Awesome. Epic win!

That 2nd video is even better than the first video. "Would you rather shoot from in here?"

Somehow the host actually made me want to buy a Ford Fiesta now...never thought I would ever say those words (I drive a Charger).

Even the Euro version of the Ford Fiesta is better than the shit Ford puts out in the US.

There's some truth in this video - and if the big 3 failed - things would get a lot worse before they got better, but damn it - I give you the Escalade. Has ever a more wasteful, irresponsible piece of mechanical hubris been manufactured?
The big 3 screwed the pooch because they didn't learn the lesson of the 1970s gas crunch. You could say that they were just responding to customer demand for blingy SUVs - but so are crack dealers. It doesn't make it right to supply an immoral product. Yes, I think Hummers and Grand Cherokees are immoral.
I'd like to see Obama take about 100 billion or so and invest it in high speed and light urban rail instead. Time for America to get over the automobile.
(yes, I take the bus to work so I get to be a preachy bastard)


Well, you can't argue with group think. I personally don't agree with gas consumption being the reason for the "big 3" doing poorly. All of them offer cheap, gas economical vehicles. Even during that "1970s gas crunch" my father had a Ford Fiesta, because, well, Ford offered it as an option. I think those manufacturers make shit cars, and that's why they are suffering.

That aside, why would it be okay for Obama to take 100 billion more of our tax dollars to invest it in anything, let alone a horrible high speed rail system? You say urban, so I assume you mean it would be a fund only available for the cities, and therefore I assume you figure it fair for our government to forcefully take money from all citizens, even those in the fly over states who won't benefit from such a tax hijacking, and distribute the money to the larger cities to fund a train system that so far no private investor has found a way to make profitable (else there would be rail systems all over this country). Boy, do I disagree with you there.

In California they passed a terrible proposition to fund a highspeed rail system from San Diego to San Fran. It's a multi-billion dollar initiative that was forced upon tax payers thanks to a majority vote. It's a worthless piece of legislation because they don't even know if the billions they are allocating will be able to finish the project. It will never make its money back, and therefore never be worth the large cost. If it was A PRIVATE CAPITALIST WOULD'VE MADE IT ALREADY! But, why have the private sector invest their money when we can pay for it?

I think those who vote up our taxes for bullshit like this should pay for it. My not so humble opinion. There, I said my peace. I will now immediately hop off of my soapbox.

What? No afterburners? My Ford Fiesta has afterburners...
