So I've never seen top gear before (aside from a view clips here and there) and today someone I know sent me the link to the Rolling a Reliant Robin -And I swear, I cant remember the last time I started crying from laughter.

Does anyone know any other great clips off the top of their head that are this funny?

@Dimman, is it just me or do the machining marks in everything Raceseng makes drive you nuts? Everybody raves about their products but they all just seem unfinished to me.

Strikes me as a CNC shop that got ahold of some marketing interns rather than engineers.

Not super impressed. It's basically just dress-up, though, so if the design guys think the marks are cool, whatever... It looks fancy to people with no clue and lets them skip a sandblast/tumble polish step.

When it comes to machining marks on important stressed components, then there is potential for concern as the marks act as stress risers and can reduce fatigue life.

But this is just slick image-hyped dressup style.

What actually infuriates me when it comes to machining marks is the haute horology stuff (fancy pants watches) that I'm spending more time studying. 'Geneva Stripes' are a big deal for decoration on the watch movements, but it just looks like dog-fucking machining by using too small of a cutter to mill, leaving a lot of parallel milling marks. They also get excited about heat-blued screws (over-tempered is what I first think of), countersunk screw holes and chamfered edges on plates. You know, stuff industry calls deburring. But to high end watch makers it's 'decoration'.

You have about two years of your life that you need to devote to watching all 21 Seasons...

New Diablo 3 patch is pretty good. Haven't played in months and really enjoyed playing through 1.5 hours on not even the hardest setting with my sub-standard gear.
