I call it a "Ford Spastic"

I thought ST meant "Sad Tw@t"

Perhaps. This is unrelated to "Ford Spastic" though

The thing that annoys me about top gear, is that if they're reviewing a car they will point out a few good/bad points that are valid but then come out with some rediculous sweeping statement that people will lap up and repeat to me if we're talking about said car. Say the new McLaren MP4-12C for example, I was talking to someone about it and they said 'it looks good but I'd prefer a Ferrari because the Ferrari is made with passion and the McLaren was made by science!'.

What on earth? Do they actually believe that the Ferrari was designed by some artists in a shed in Tuscany with some hammers and a dream? IT WAS DESIGNED WITH CAD AND A WIND TUNNEL THE SAME AS ANY CAR!! Using the same boring software, the same safety tests, the same scientific principles and using the same boring production line.

I thought the original design was still drawn by hands to create the "concept"....the CAD element is putting the meat on the bones.

Yeah and made out of clay, but they all do this. Ferrari has no more 'passion' than any other car company.

I disagree..some of the cars like Ferrari and the Merclaren are still assembled by hand and yes the empolyees would have more passion in what they do rather than some mong on a ford production line...

You can categorically state that all Ferrari and McClaren employees are passionate and Ford workers are all mongs who don't care?

Good job this is in the CC cause you're clearly talking out of your anus with generalisations.

I'd take the reliablity of a Ford over a Ferrari too!

The jokes have always been predictable and staged, it's just now you're more aware of it. They haven't changed as much as people are harking on.
