Top Gear UK has now achieved the status of most popular show on British television.

Which is no doubt true because its no longer a car show but fills a void in the area of popular entertainment. What this means is that Top Gear UK is in reality now just a sad shadow of what it once was.

Now it has become just a mish mash of purile idiotic crap and self-centred ego stroking featuring 'celebrities' and ' lite humour' , with only the odd rare bit of real car action thrown in .

As was the case in the last Top Gear UK series, in this new series there was about 5 minutes of real car enthusiast action in the hour long show - so, so boring!

You want facts and technical info and motoring action - watch Drive It , or Cruizin and Gasolene on TVS (on Sydney tv maybe on other channels in other states) - I leave out Custom Restos because it too, in common with Top Gear UK, is mostly just an excuse of a car show with a presenter longing to exhibit both his own insuperable ego and a peculiar fixation relating to a part of his rear anatomy.

With all the different brands and models of sports and GT cars being produced around the world the selections usually shown on UK Top Gear are so limited -the ubiquitous Ferrari/Porsche/BMW/Jag appear in virtually every episode .........boring.............very very very boring

And they always slag off anything Japanese esp Nissan made and anything Australian.

And who wants to see caravan demolition derbys and similar tedious cheap time filler crap in what is supposed to be the true enthusiasts car show?

When did you last see an 18-28 car enthusiast , someone like yourself maybe, given any exposure or involvement in any Top Gear UK episode?

The sad reality is that if you want to achive huge television ratings - which is Top Gear UKs main obsession- you got to give a show designed to attract pensioners and gays, housewives etc - (here you can insert any category or class apart from actual car enthusiasts) - as committed viewers - you stop producing a show for true car lovers to watch .

They even boast the alleged fact that the midgets main role is to get women viewers to the show, and no doubt May is the link to the pensioner set, and its your own guess as to who is meant to bring the gays on board, and Jeremy's appeal is to all boofheads, of course.

NOW REPEAT TEN TIMES : Its not a car show - ITS just POPULAR LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT .... thats all.

PS none of this is a criticism of gays and pensioner etc - generically their fine people, but they should have their own shows on British TV.

I don't think anybody watches Top Gear for facts and technical information. People watch the show to be entertained and Clarkson, Hammond and May are great entertainers. If you don't like the way it is presented now don't watch it. Simple eh.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
