The Ariel Atom proves that not all new cars are boring! Sky+ decided that I didnt want to see the very end of Top Gear so i didnt see were the Atom came on the lap board  |

I reckon the lap board is a load of poo. The Radical SR3 is the fastest road car they have ever run, something like 1'17" IIRC, but it isn't allowed on the board because Clarkson reckons it isn't a real road car. OTOH the much slower Porker GT3 and Ferrari 360 track cars are allowed on the board even though both factories sell them as track only cars.
Much as I like Clarkson I think he has major problems bikes and kit cars. Bikes are more fun than cars, simple as that, on a bike you are much more involved in the whole seat of the pants experience. Clarkson can't ride and isn't willing to learn because he knows that he is appallingly out of shape and you need to be fit to ride a bike fast. If a track car comes along that is generally available in kit form he will think of a reason to exclude it, if it isn't available in kit form he will think of a reason to include it.
The daft thing is that the Atom has been around for years so why are they only testing it now?

The lap board may have to be started again as Top Gear is moving air fields to one near Chipping Norton. Just down the road from were Clarkson lives funnily enough.
The locals were not very happy about having Top Gear on there doorsteps!

Eh? They objected to road legally silenced cars? But they decided to buy a house next to an airfield?

There are loads of that type about, the Great British Winger, the sort that buy a house in the country so that they can winge that it's too far to go work and that they hate the smell of farm animals!  |

Top Gear has been given permission to use the airfield but they can only film for so many weeks of the year. Cant remember how many.
There are people who moved next door to Donnington race circuit and complained about the noise. They didnt seem to have a problem with East midlands airport which is next door!!
