I enjoyed all of it, 13 episodes this season? Sounds good to me.

Senna quicker than the Aston track car presumably on slicks?

Senna looked 919 Evo fast on its lap. As in fast-forward fast. Although maybe they did fast forward it.

It was certainly enjoyable, the Senna looked even worse going round a track! Looked like a car a 5 year old would have drawn.
Isn't it a really odd looking and oddly proportioned car in the film. It looks mega quick but I can't get past how odd it looks. It's even worse than I thought it was from photos. :shock:

She was properly fucking on it. You could see it in her eyes. Great stuff.

I thought it was quite good. There's a glowing review for the poster.

But honestly WTF is going on with Hammond's hair and goatee?

Same old, same old - wasn't expecting any more than I got so no complaints about it.

The Senna is seriously quick but I just can't get past the looks. No desire for any of the Muscle Cars either.

I also thought it was good. If you remember back to series one where they had Land Rover discoveries re-bodied in mud and Hammond in a car boot, etc. this is a huge improvement and there weren't really any parts you'd need to fast forward IMO. Just wait until we've got Flintoff and Paddy doing Top Gear...

That Exorcist looked properly loopy. :twisted:

Didn't realise Detroit had such run down bits. I'll take any of the muscle cars thanks.

The Senna was mental - spectacular drive.

A muscle car roadtrip comprising of one closed off road and a lap around a factory.

You like that?

Personally I thought it was better than the actual muscle car road trip they did on Top Gear, save for perhaps the salt flats bit at the end:

Did I hear correctly that James May's 'Exorcist' was averaging 3.9mpg? 😀

I actually hate the senna’s looks. Utterly pointless car in my opinion.

I agree with Foz - though since I find it hard to distinguish any McLaren from any other, it has the benefit of being distinctive.

Mclaren ownership is beset with horrific reliability and depreciation in all but the specialist of special editions!

It seems to be the Tesla of the performance car world though. Despite being a less than great product in most areas it seems like most people end up becoming repeat customers.

It was only watching he show that I noticed the glass panels in the lower part of the door. The whole thing is hideous and made even worse by being able to watch the driver scratch his balls.
