I quite liked it when Dermot hoignahan turned him round on the road. I like to imagine all the serious presenters playing childish jokes on each otherR!

That part of this week's show definitely had me laughing out loud the most.

As the driver of a very small car, shots of people turning them round is very disturbing.
I hope this does not become the new "happy slapping" craze....

I was not sure though if he was using disability as the crunch of his funny set rather than the merits of a small car for perhaps small urban/community living 
J C comes over as poking fun at anyone else to get a laugh, not sure, I felt on two sides as I watched it.

searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale

To be honest I didn't think he was poking fun at disability or anything like that. I thought the old disabled car things were completely different to those.
Might not have read as much into the piece as some, but I just thought it was an excuse for him to (as James May would put it) 'c o c k about' in the smallest ever production car. After all, If I had the chance to try one, I would want to see where it was possible to drive it apart from on the road

how was it taking the mick out of disabled people? People can read and put offence into anything these days.
I liked the fact that in the meeting he had a sikh, a man in a wheelchair, a black person and some other minority. You have tio be able to laugh at things that are funny or the government will ban it! And I will blame Happy Kat if Top Gear is banned!!!
