PRESENTERS OF TOP GEAR

Noel Edmonds
Older viewers might recall that when 'Top Gear' began in the late 1970s, one of its presenters was Noel Edmonds. Edmonds returned for a one-off appearance in the late 1990s to test drive the legendary Ford GT40. Jeremy Clarkson had been due to film the feature, but Clarkson's tall frame prevented him from driving the car, to his utter dismay and Edmonds' delight.

Anybody got the clip of Edmonds return BTW :lol:

Yeah I've heard about that. Jeremy couldn't close the door of the GT40, because that would have cut his head off...

LMAO ... Noel Edmonds :P

I can't really imagine him being interested in cars, but i guess it could be true... too funny though :lol:

I remember jeremy saying he owns a GT40 and something about him trying to do Lemans one year though i can't remember whether he suceeded :? Its all a bit before my time this, i honestly didn't know TG had been running this long :D

whats more bizzare is he did that gt40 test naked !

this might not be true

errrr... I think that's a FORD... :roll: or it might be Ferrari F40???? which one did he test...?

i dont think anyone even noticed it said ferrari. I didnt at first. Its a good think jeremy got a hold of a gt40 with the "gurney bubble" so he cold finally drive it.

FORD GT40 :)

LOL well spotted i think we'd better complain to UKTV People, i didn't even notice as i only read it quickly.... saw GT40...... and remembered jeremy couldn't get in it :wink:

LOL Dan are you a lawyer by profession :wink:

I remember he had to test the GT43 because his head could not fit in the other one

Yeah, Noel Edmonds does indeed own a GT40 and he lives somewhere in the south west i believe. He took over a local nature park (cricket St thomas) near my home in somerset and turned it into BLOBBY WORLD (if anyone used to watch noels house party on a saturday night yonks ago u know wat im talking about). He completey ruined the park, lost a load of money and left. Now its back to as it was, pre-blobby. :roll:
He is well into his cars tho. In fact almost as much as knitted jumpers. :wink: :P

I'm practising for my online degree in forum law :twisted: :P


sad but true :lol:

Throw me a frikkin bone here ... who's this Noel character?

LOL i'll find you a pic....
