the days befor clarckson ahhh yes the dark ages

I restore cars myself & reckon the best part is the time consuming hard part of building them in the old shed, it's good therapy. The bonus is the finished product.

@04carrolld Actually Clarkson WAS on old Top Gear! (as well as James May)

Tony Mason = An epic driver. I rally cars frequently with my brothers Escort MK2 and the Evo IX and Mason he is an inspiration for us all. A legend.

@jose7777777777777777 I wouldn't be surprised if May doesn't get a series about car/motorbike restoration. I'd certainly watch it

I wish new top fear would do something like this

[bog98]

Clarkson,May and Hammond are much better :D

@wendileona The hand made cars will be like the super cars etc. Not the mass production ones.

[wendileona]

I wonder what cars today, you know, attainable cars in the last 15, 20 are worth restoring in the future?

@GhostofRazors BP is the result of the merger of British Petroleum and Amoco.

Once the accident happened BP spent tons of money trying to fix it with experts working long overtime shifts, now it's payed off, lots of damage has been done but be thankful that no more oil is seeping into the gulf.

I personally don't belive deep sea drilling is safe but that doesn't matter now, what matters is the clean up and UN regulations for better accident procedures.
