Top Gear

[scotta]

Watched last nights and thought they pretty much nailed it. Guest bit was a lowlight - probably as i had no idea who that bloke was.

On the debris bit - unintentional hit imo.

[Rich B]

Definitely not intentional.

Enjoyed that - just goes to show that you don’t need to fake everything - just stick the cars/presenters in interesting situations and interesting stuff will happen.

Merc/Bentley miss in the no hands race looked fucking close!

The looks on their faces just after told the full story of that!

Not sure which other thread to put this in so I'll put it here.



Agree with him on everything apart from the fact that I'd have an E over the 5.

Oh, and that's the old A Class he has there, not the new one. I'd probably have the A over the Golf because the Golf 7 is so old now.

Missus has an A200 which is laugh out loud hilarious - the Engine makes 3 different noises to Redline.

It’s like a Samoyed puppy who’s been at the sugar

God knows what the 35 and 45 variants are like...

Freddie Flintoff on Comic Relief doing Top Gear - he just quoted 320d mpg: who gives a fuck!? Great repmobile though

Paddy isn’t my cup of tea...

5, 4, 3, 2....

They bleeped 'shit' on last week's RR/Bentley/Merc but let 'bellend' go on the Bentley review the week before



I'm not watching CR; maybe a test run before fully committing to FF & PM in the new series?

[Simon]

Only 5 episodes this season and for the next we lose Joey and get two useful idiots.

I really think this may be the beginning of the end for Top Gear for me. I don't like the preview and I think the ratings will be terrible.

I enjoyed the ST/hot hatch bit

Were you ready to blow this weekend Rich?

it was the countdown to a smartarse comment from you!

Try the other thread about recent TV. And stop turning into Broccers

[Ascender]

I see the new series is "coming soon" which makes sense I guess if they've already been filming and want to have some vaguely relevant new-car content. Let's be optimistic, at least Harris is still there and will hopefully still get to make TG content for Youtube.

[Simon]

They said 'this summer' just before the trailer yesterday... So soon enough to have positive memories of Joey in my mind for comparison.

[GG.]

Just caught up with the last couple of episodes of top gear (FFWD the guest segments) and I'm now pretty sad this line-up is being canned.

The barge racing was thoroughly enjoyable and I think MLB got the Vantage spot on - why buy the ugly expensive slower car when you can have an AMG GT S?

The irony is that they seem to have got the point where they've gelled pretty well, even Rory is not irritating me as much as he was and I was properly ROFL-ing at Matt pushing Chris though the partition wall in the Silverstone pits

Paddy, Harris and the other one were just on The One Show to promote the new series.

Now, to be fair, they were funny, but it’s obvious it’s just going to be dicking about, and maybe some cars. The other one (I can’t remember his name, cricketer fella) just talked about a Porsche 944 Fifty Two. I think he meant S2...

slim chance he could have been being Uber geeky about a turbo S, but unlikely...

Now you've made me post Sniff's image again.
