Re: [MBZ] stupid car killer Jeremy Clarkson
Hey, this is what I wondered about a while ago: How would one of those MB SLK AMG deals do against a Porsche? Anyway, those shows look quite entertaining. What network are they on?

[MBZ] stupid car killer Jeremy Clarkson
Hendrik wrote: and we learn what from this? Personally i prefer to view something like junkyard wars and the other challenge programs. There was one on the other day about remote controlled submarines that had to compete in a series of trials, that was interesting. A bunch of poms thrashing other peoples cars in a stupid attempt to attract even more stupid viewers, so the network can sell even more stupid products, is not my idea of spending quality time in front of the Fernseher. I agree that I would rather do something with my life than sit down and watch someone live theirs (ie, sitcoms). On the other hand, you can't learn stuff 24/7... you have to sit back and enjoy something occasionally. I sneak in the Sci-Fi shows that way (Battlestar Galactica being the one at the moment). The vast majority of the time I spend in front of the TV (which really isn't all that much) isn't watching a show or movie... but playing a video game of some sort. At least I'm interacting with with the TV then ;) John ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] stupid car killer Jeremy Clarkson
(Battlestar Galactica being the one at the moment). IMHO one of the finest shows written. Such a contrast to the POS that the earlier treatment of the story was. I was predisposed against it, yet it had me from the first scene. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] stupid car killer Jeremy Clarkson
I don't mind stuff that is up front about being entertainment but some shows pass themselves off as being informative, when in fact they are pure entertainment. I don't mind putting the brain in neutral and watching a kung fu movie or spending quality time with my son helping Ratchet and Clank save the universe but something like top gear is just rubbish. Teasing us with stuff that is beyond our budget and when we work hard all our lives and finally can afford a fancy car, we find that it is just another car but with more expensive problems. Then again I am the sort of person whose dream car is a 124 station wagen but middle age is creeping up on me. Perhaps when the hair starts to go I'll need something to make me look younger and more vibrant.

Perhaps when the hair starts to go I'll need something to make me look younger and more vibrant. Top Gear bought one of those (S124 gasser) and destroyed it on camera, just for fun. Nice car too. At least Viki is better to look at than Jeremy. Some of the destruction included driving into a pond, dropping a grenade in the cabin, and shooting it with a howitzer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bIV_hHPAFQ ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

I like how the wagon almost made the monster truck flip :) Now if only I could find one of those in the US with a trashed engine so I could get the interior... ;) John '87 300TD ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
