OV9

The bridges and suspended roadways were amazing though.

I was exactly the same.

Not here. I disliked the Audi's (not the sound) and was a Lancia supporter.

Peugeot 205 for me because of seeing this vvvvv at a model shop.

i liked this weeks one - China looks bonkers and I really enjoyed the pace of the more informative bits. though the whole show just drags when they start doing the fake cheesey gags.

Not too hard to roll a 3 wheeler onto some grass then cut to a nicely framed rolling off the edge.

Anyone else notice the F - UQ plates ?

A lot of bother to agitate the Argentinian debacle again

So you actually think he was in the car as it rolled down the hillside?

Are you suggesting it was just television magic?

I’ll be honest I was very surprised that he didn’t die. It looked like a nasty crash.

I was also surprised to see Monkey in that wing suit. I had no idea he was such an accomplished parachutist. You’d have thought he’d have mentioned that previously.

This week's is making me lust for driving in Scotland again...

11yrs since I've been away but I miss driving those fucking roads.

Scotland is awesome and I miss living up there and driving in the North as often as I can.

I need to get up there soon with the M140i to scratch the itch. Either solo or with some like minded forum members if I can blag my way onto a roadtrip

Late March, early April always seemed to be the time I had the best weather/quiet road combo up there.

If anyone is planning a jaunt then please let me know

Yep, that looked great. And they didn't faff around needlessly breaking their cars for a change.
And some very sideways BMWs for extra car entertainment goodness.

Did you notice some of the tire smoke was done in ///M logo colours?

Didn't surprise me he ended up buying that V6. It must be chicken feed to Mr Clarkson to get it in useable weekend nick

Yep - I remember him showing James the service bill for his 600 green-grosser and it being the same cost as a new golf

I've seen up to and including the pickups and think the series thus far is utter crap.

Not seen any of the new TGs as yet - don't see many comments on here either. Will probably watch those I've recorded thus far (think there's two) tomorrow night.

One could be mean and say as they were all old Italian cars they didn’t need to try...

I've found this series to be very entertaining and far less forced than previously. Top Gear in comparison just seem to be desperately trying to be them.

Dear points of view,

On the whole, i've enjoyed them all very much.

Cheers,
Dan
