Re: TopGear drives 124 Spider?
There is probably a question of what if any pay he gets for the episodes not released yet and about ongoing royalties from those. Its probably now about money and his exit package since he was fired for misconduct. They probably won't mud up the legal process by airing any new material until after the lawyers sort that all out. If Mays and Hammond also leave they probably want to deal with those exit packages first also.
One of the unanswered issues that could be brought up was what level of control might he have lacked as a potential borderline diabetic going through a glycemic event and did that potentially leave him incapable of rational behavior having missed a meal after working a long day since he does fit the profile for one so afflicted and the incident does fit that pattern.
I have had to watch out for co-workers in the past and intercede when they started to ramble and get confused and irate as their blood sugar went off. You pull them aside, calm them down and do what has to be done to feed them and get them balanced again. Once we realized that we had co-workers with glycemic balance issues we just planned for it and made arrangements for them when time schedules went awry.

i have used the firefox plugin called 'hola'. it is free, and so is the tunneling. don't know what kind of spyware, if any, it has. but i mainly use chrome for everything, so i don't really care; there's nothing really that a browser plugin can do on a browser you never use for anything vital.ClarkTheShark wrote:toplessexpat wrote:For those of you wondering how to watch British shows in the U.S. online (or US in the UK for that matter), may I present http://www.tunnelbear.com - a piece of techno wizardry it creates a VPN to the destination country of your choice, creating the illusion that you are actually within that country to the website you're trying to view. Very easy to use, you get 500mb of data a month free (enough for an episode of your favorite restoration show), and for $49.99/year you get unmetered.

Re: TopGear drives 124 Spider?
normally, had i heard that they were including a fiat spider in one of their classic car challenges, i would assume that they will have like a ₤1000 (or maybe half that) limit, with which to go get some rusted old roach. but all three of those mentioned and shown in the pics look like they are in great shape. i'm guessing that this is one of their full-on appreciation segments, rather than one where the clown on each other for having heaps of trash. well...trash that they invariably fall in love with for one reason or another...pgilling wrote:To be honest I think JC is a fan of Spiders and other Italian cars of that era as, doing a search yesterday, I saw a quote from an article he wrote in the Sunday Times:AriK wrote:Another Spider saved.

So I was thinking that he must be a fan of the 124 Spider, as I suspect (like myself) he's not a fan of the 'Victorian' engineering in MGs - and I'm a Brit by the way!
crap. that makes me really want to see it.

i can say that they paid a lot more than $1000 and they spent loads more transforming it into an abarth replica

Re: TopGear drives 124 Spider?
According to Kate Shillinglaw, the BBC executive responsible for hiring Clarkson's replacement,
"(She) also confirmed Clarkson's final Top Gear scenes would be screened later this year.
"No way would I want the available material not to be seen by viewers," she said.
However, there is not enough footage to piece together the three remaining episodes of the series, which was pulled off air in the aftermath of the altercation with Tymon on 4 March."
