One Week Left Until Top Gear

Posted by Austin on October 26th, 2008

Less than one week to go until Top Gear starts back up on BBC2. I absolutely can’t wait. Nothing else much to say at the moment, so I will leave you with the trailer for the latest series of Top Gear and a classic clip where the boys try to run a drive-time radio show, and… well, muck it up completely.

Good news! I have finally decided to update my blog for the first time in… well, ages, really. Why, you may ask, haven’t I updated in so long? Well, the short answer is that i’ve been lazy. Yes, lazy, not busy. Well, I have been busy, but not so busy that I couldn’t update my blog.

So, lots of things going on right now, and not much has changed. Still going to school in the morning, still working in the evening. Doesn’t always leave much time to myself, and what little time I do have is spent playing my 360. Not the best way to spend a day off, i’ll admit, but damned if it isn’t fun. I bought Colin McRae’s DiRT last saturday, and i’ve already beaten the damned game on “Pro-Amateur.” Time to bump up the difficulty and attempt to blow through it on Professional, but the few races i’ve played on that level were damned annoying for one reason; the computer cars are idiots and do not know how to fucking follow a proper racing line. There I am, turning into the corner just like you’re susposed to, then next thing I know, i’ve turned to face the enemy. Confused, I go to view the replay. Well, turns out that the driver behind me decides not to actually turn into the corner, instead choosing to plow straight on, ramming my back bumper. Annoying.

In other news, it’s finally Fall! YAY! I love this time of year. Trees start turning a colour other than green, the temperature isn’t hot enough to dehydrate a cow, and Top Gear generally starts a new series ’round abouts this time of year. Yes, Top Gear. Probably one of the greatest car shows on the airwaves at the moment. So great, in fact, that they have launched Top Gear Australia, Top Gear America, and, you’re gonna love this, Top Gear Russia!

Well, that’s all that I have time for right now, but hopefully, i’ll be back sometime soon.
