Title: Amiga mentioned on "Fifth Gear"
Post by: spaceman88 on July 25, 2013, 07:44:59 PM
But not in a good way :-(. They were reviewing the new Corvette and said the GPS screen looked so bad it looked like it was generated by a Commodore Amiga!!! The screen they showed could have been produced by a Commodore 64. An Amiga could have done better, maybe they got their Commodores mixed up.

Please say it was Jeremy Clarkson and not Richard Hammond or James May who mentioned it...

Sounds like something Jeremy would say, but this was on Fifth Gear (the first episode I had seen, I think it was #57), not Top Gear.

What, not like top gear? Anyone who can go to the states and have Americans reaching for their shotguns is worth watching :-)

Never seen fifth gear but I love top gear and have all seasons including the American and Australian versions.

Funny, Before Top gear I did not know that Opel was called Vauxhall in some parts of the world.

Yeah that came as a surprise to me as well, when I moved to UK from Italy.

Opel was a German company, Vauxhall was a British company, both were bought by General Motors and now produce the same product lines.
