terms of endearment

well then. as a means of getting over the black holes and revelations of the past week in which i have questioned my capabilties (or lack thereof), i shall unleash a mighty PICSPAM. Top Gear picspam to be precise. gorgeous cars, 3 brits who take the mickey out on everything that moves, and a cumulative excess of testosterone. i watch it religiously on FX (channel 87)..instead of doing homework. so bite me!

and i found a goldmine of screencaps of TG episodes, praise the lord of motoring! Season 9, episode 2's screencaps are of special interest to yours truly because it involves the lads golfing. TG+ Golf= dream come true.

warning: i am completely enamoured by richard hammond, having watched him on TG and Brainiac and have professed my fangirling for him before..somewhat. so yes, before i begin.

from L-R (wrt pic at the top): richard HAMMOND. jeremy CLARKSON. james MAY. i'll be referring to them with their surnames, so familiarize yourself!

the trio. i still dunno what exactly they were doing on a golf course in the first place (cos i havent managed to find the episode guide guhhh) but hell, they're golfing -or attempting to- and that's all that bloody matters!mind you, they were dressed by J. Lindeberg. i guess i fangirl that too quite a bit :P. so yes, moving along, clarkson is the tallest dude in brown, May is the one with the coral pants and curly wurly ringlets spilling out the sides of his cap and *fangirl sigh* my favourite, Hammond in turquoise. GORGEOUS colour hel-lo!!

well then, hammond at the first tee.


his set up isn't half bad at all!

hd;askdj;asdjad. eeew. terrible finish..evident of a shot gone wrong. well i don't blame the nubbin-ess of his finish..its probably his first time so we'll let him off yeah?

but clarkson on the other hand won't give him a chance. exhibit A: rolling on the floor laughing his ass out. one of those go-down-on-yer-knees and hammer-the-floor moments cos the laughter is uncontrollable. :D even May's having a hearty guffaw in the background!


now Clarkson's turn to have a go. first off he's sticking his arse out way too much :P

and that my friends, is what you get if you play golf with a baseball swing. PITY. they were given properly mint Callaway clubs which are some of da best in the market and these buggers come along and anyhow swing...NAH BEH!

back to hammond in a bit of a mess. the ball looks like it landed in a spot with a terrible lie. i dunno if he actually managed to get the ball outta there but his form's pretty good i must say! keeping his head down and arms extended through the finish. well done! (anjali stampofapproval :P rakky)

May in HORRENDOUSLY deep rough. i would cry and give up if my ball landed in such a terrible spot srsly. love the whole fist-in-the-air "watch out Hole! i'm comin for ya! Arrrrrrrr!". i'm not quite sure where the pirate growl came from but yeah...*shifty look*

notice the height difference. Hammond always gets jibed about having to adjust the car seat after Clarkson's got out, just so that he can reach the accelerator HAHA. and may i just add, Hammond shouldve worn white shoes lah!

a closeup of Clarksons pantz. too hot lah. trust j.lindeberg to come up with purple+yellow pinstripes. DOMINIC HOWARD of Muse, get more flashy pantz from these people please! i want a pair meself plsthx..even though i can't play that well, might as well look good while playing innit?



WAHAHAHHAHAAAAA!
NOW you know why he kenah bastard all the time? asking for it lah!! for heaven's sake, get a trolley for yer bag doofus!

oh Hammond you make me weak in the knees.
forgive me for i have perved..on a man who is almost 40 @_@

its ridiculously hard to play golf with aviators on cos well..they'll fall off! unless you have one of em face-hugging nike/oakley shades (which my dad got as a bday prezzie from my momma as a replacement for his 20-year old ray Bans- like the kind that Brandon Flowers of The Killers has taken a liking to recently)

that ends picspam. with its glorious hues of aquamarine and such. the saturation and intensity of colours is characteristic of how all outdoor filming on Top Gear turns out..stunningly vivid and breathtaking. from a Bugati Veyron (which is mindnumbingly beautiful piece of construction) to the VW Golf GTI (which they're VERY fond of..but i'm not), the cinematography itself will keep you coming back for more. but even if there wasn't the cars, i'd watch it for the trademark dry, cutting brit humour that only lads from doncaster, birmingham and bristol can pull off with such wit and panache

FUCK YOU RESIZING! STOP CUTTING OFF MY PHOTOS!!
on a sidenote, I miss how izzah used to call me sayang...:(
