It’s fair to say Michael Fassbender – star of Shame, X-Men: First Class, Hunger, 300, Haywire, A Dangerous Method, the as-yet unreleased Prometheus and about a million other projects – isn’t short of commitment.
This he proved most deftly while addressing the small problem of the second-to-last corner on the Top Gear test track. On a cold, icy day. With limited traction.
As you will have seen from last Sunday’s show, the jolly Mr Fassbender posted a jolly respectable time on our celebrity leaderboard, managing to beat his own expectations in the process.
But the preparation put into achieving that time was a different story entirely…
Have a watch of the video below, and then click here for some snaps from last week’s show.

TOP GEAR CON !!! What a wasted Day. Our tickets for 4 people not worth a light!! £80.00 in train and taxi fees, for Thomas- from Battersea, London and Christopher-from Medway, Kent, 200 mile return trip by road -me and David
, 5 hours on rain drenched roads, 3 people took day off work to be turned away at the gates at Dunsfold, Surrey. ‘ SORRY SIR PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BOOK AGAIN ‘ – NOT A CHANCE !!!! Another 25 cars approx with us mainly with 5 passengers and a lot travelled much further than us. A TOTAL DISGRACEFUL WAY TO TREAT YOUR VIEWERS TOP GEAR………

Good to see the web videos edited just like the TV shows:
… music plays loudly… *turns volume down*
… music stops and people talk… *can’t hear what they’re saying so turn volume back up*
oh poop, now there’s loud music again.

Well since the comments are closed on the Tesla announcement I’ll just post this here!
Since all that mess is behind you you should check out and test their new cross-over SUV. It looks pretty cool! I’m sure you can let bygones be bygones

it was for the film called a dangerous method.
he played Sigmun Freud, and it based on the reltonship of freud and Young.
the two premier physcoloy of their day.
in the film, micheal takes a distured Keira Knightly.
and trys to help cure her.
one of the methods he uses is, to spank Keira Knightly charcter.
it looks fun, and i can not wait to see it.

Telsa has made a pig-ear out of this mess.
why not file an Offical Cpmplaint with the BBC.
and say why they were not happy with the review.
ask Jezza to review the car again, in both british and american conditions.
as i find the range for electric cars, is less in Great Britain than america.
that is due to the conditions we have over here.

Did anyone notice the girl standing behind Fassbender, young, dark hair – shes been in the audience before, can’t remember which guest it was though. Must watch far too many reruns for my own good. Damn you DAVE!
