Ruby Wax, Monday night BBC1

[jamesc]

Anyone see the Ruby Wax programme on the Gumball Rally? Anyone Pistonhead regular take part? There was a 1 sec shot of a Tuscan 6 in a tunnel. James

well I saw it and I thought bloody hell! didn't have much time for any of the divers though, all ar**holes if you ask me. Nice cars though obviously, think thers a website like gumball300.com or something! pablo

Where do all these poseurs come from, I bet they went home and told everyone they were racing drivers. Ted , please banish them from this site of serious drivers, I''m going to be sick over my Armani suit. (copy of post sent a couple of weeks ago when a report was posted on this site)They should'nt be given air time.

[Captain Chaos]

Bloody good entertainment from your armchair, but boy, those drivers (Damon excepted of course) were such a bunch of morons. Obcenely rich morons though. It seems that they have so much money, having exhausted all the options to derive pleasure that most of us strive towards rather than actually attain (i.e. unlimited dosh) that the only way they can get their kicks is to drive like lunatics through eastern europe, braving corrupt policemen and gangsters and risking not just their own lives but of those innocents on the road as well. It could have ended very tragically. Great programme though. And Ruby Wax is damn sexy I reckon.

[Captain Chaos]

Even Chaos has his weaknesses. That nobody else shares his 'tastes' is not of great surprise to him. Being of split personality my other half isn't so keen on Ruby either. It's just that she has more teeth than a Ferrari gearbox. Va va vvooom

No, Its 'Yank Tank', who is a classic corvette fan. Say something about his taste don't you think! Sparks P.S. Capt'n Chaos, no offence, if you like 'em fine. (just don't tell us they are better than Tivs 'cos the're not )

[Captain Chaos]

AhHA ! Sparks. A non-believer. The Captain says to you that as he has never actually left the good ole US of A and therefore never seen a 'Trevor' in the flesh (they don't sell them there you see as us overweight burger munching yanks who dont't think that engines of 5 litres or less are big enough, which of course they're not) he can't endorse them like he would his heavyweight 7 litre big block 'vette. The Captain acknowledges however that come a curve he may not get around quite so fast but, hey, there aren't that many curves in Kentucky so who cares? And his trusty steed will always get him to his destination, providing the local oil wells are well stocked along the way. No superhero would choose a TVR because it would conk out before the superdeed was done. Yank Tank apologises for his alter ego's triade, but he has to be let out of the cage once in a while to perform. He would say however that he actually likes all TVRs but loves 'vettes. It's a personal thing. He can't help it. Size matters. Va va vooom.

Much rather have an original 427 cobra. I have to admit tho', that the old 'Stingray' is one of very few 'yank tanks' I like aesthetically. Sparks

Surely, if you've never left the US of A the above should read 'they don't sell them HERE you see' or is the split personality getting the upper hand ?

[Captain Chaos]

I don't have a split personality but there are two of us
