    Rumours made public, then denied then proved groundless, then a new rumour…why the h*** don’t we wait, keep checking the TFC, until we all know what will be there and what will not??:diablo: After all it’s not long now!:D

    It would be refreshing if it were not produced in any “light” at all and simply and sincerely told the story of the Command’s achievements, successes and failures, without making judgments on the decisions made and actions executed. It would be refreshing but my natural cynicism doubts it.

    I hope I am proved wrong.

    Speaking as someone who has owned almost 100 cars over the past, of various vintages, British and American, I really don’t think that is the case.
    It isn’t a serious motoring programme, and this is where people seem to get hung up about it.

    You inadvertently misquoted me in place of Lincoln 7. I agree with you and posted such earlier.

    I’d agree with that but for one thing. It is not a show for serious motoring enthusiasts and it doesn’t pretend to be. I don’t think there’s any denying Clarkson and Hammond’s enjoyment of cars, but May certainly knows more technically about them than they do.

    Yes, he did…or did he?I thought that was a bit of a put up job, wasn’t it?? He always plays the fall guy, doesn’t he?

    I would say that if TFC hasn’t announced anything no one else will know anything at all – bar speculation.

    None of that surprises me. I reckon May is “you take me as you find me”. A true enthusiast. Hammond is smiles and japes up front but the ego has grown a tad on the large size. Clarkson’s ego is huge anyway and is the team bully.

    It is, but topping the table sadly counts for nothing these days, in the ever commercialised world of sport they decided to have some pay off system so that fourth could still win some pot. And on the big day having had our ‘b’ team beaten by sarries at home they had the mentality to win on the day.

    Such is life.

    Point taken………….

    Sky High. Pete, Don,t take offence, I was only reiterating in MY words what you said about those who were making a packet out of the games.

    And who could honestly say they couldn,t do with a few more quid, as everything these days is going through the roof?.

    As you told me Pete, I aint going to fall out, it’s as you say, Just a forum.

    Not a battlefield.

    Jim.

    Lincoln .7.

    Well this is what you wrote, Linc….

    “but if your honest, you would like to be on the Sunday Times rich list, even if you were at the bottom, isn’t that a reason you were a businessman yourself, to make money.?.”

    To which I responded accordingly. Yes, it is only a forum, but when personal assertions like that are made they need to be corrected.
