know we moan about it but it's better than the alternative :signLOL:
-
do moan about how scripted it is, but hey ho, not much else on, and is sometimes a laugh
-
It's better than talking to the misses for an hour as she goes out :signLOL:
-
mine tends to clear off for a long shower - which also works :grin:
-
Unluckily for my boyfriend, I enjoy Top Gear as much as he does so we cuddled up together watching it :ashamed:
It's not as good as it used to be, that's for sure.. But it still leaves me giggling :grin:
-
Bring back 5th gear..
-
Misses always nag about top gear being waste of time,3 stupid idiots etc etc..
I just ignore her
-
Watch it with the other half, She doesn't pay to much attention to it but is happy to watch it.
-

5th Gear is back on History. I watched Tiff do the Sims Hill trail run in a mk2 Escort.
Anyone watches Top Gear US? I prefer watching them over UK Top Gear at one point. But UK seems to be better this season so far :-)

What a load of tosh that episode was! ........Danny was the only bit worth watching.

+1 getting bored with them embarrassing themselves, especially James May hitting the wall.
-
What a load c**p but I can't not watch it
-
Yeah wasn't great. Danny bit was good. The stopping distance in a normal car was interesting that followed up on last weeks test.

It may of been interesting but completly useless.
Yes modern cars brakes have got better but cars have got heavier (to be safer?)
More importantly our reaction times haven't changed at all. Anyone can brake quickly from a cone that we can see ahead but in real world situations we don't have the luxury of knowing what's about to surprise us on a road so their theory is floored.
Plus if you travel at 100mph like a lot of people seem to do you stopping distance is effectively double what it would be from 70mph.
It made me think how irresponsible they are.
-
I think the test worked well in a controlled fashion and did show that braking systems have improved, Sadily in the real world I don't think it would work, too many factors to include into it like tiredness, maintenance of the vehicle, weather conditions and road surfaces.
-
The ambulance episode is funny.. :happy2:
-
+1 First time I'm genuinely laughed at top gear in a while
-
I just have my sky+ series linked for it.
That way I can just fast forward through the drivel,leaves me with about 15 mins of watchable tv :happy2:
-
I thought this week's one was the worst of this series so far by a mile.
Must have repeated the slow door joke and took up about 10mins of the show with that.
I must admit I did lol at the last Hammond injured person drop off through the window.
-
I genuinely cried my way through the whole episode.. I blame my age :laugh: I'm just not very mature I suppose!
-
I thought this week's was good, on par with the whole series so far. I kind of like how they don't bother reviewing even super cars any more and just focus on being stupid. They've embraced the fact that Top Gear is an entertainment program and not an informative one.
-
Bring back 5th gear..
New series starts soon on history :happy2:
-
Sunday's episode bored me a bit, apart from the Riccardo part
Review some cars please.....
-
It had been ok up until sundays episode which was a steaming pile of bab bar hamsters passenger ejection right at the end

THIS ^^^^
-
I don't understand people who say review cars as its been more bias to an entertainment show for the majority of the series' now. Sunday's wasn't the best but had some good bits. The only really good ones they do now are the xmas specials or feature episodes like the Oz one but that's more because of the countries they are in most of the time rather than the cars
-
I take it for what it is these days, an entertainment show. Proper car reviews I leave to YouTube with the likes of Chris Harris on cars, Harry's Garage and Evo.

Used to love watching Chris Harris on Cars but then they put it behind a paywall and I'm a tight Yorkshireman - you do the maths...
who the hell pays to watch videos on YouTube FFS?!!! :rolleye:
-
He has left drive and has his own channel called "Chris Harris on cars"
Free material again :wink:

-
So... Opinions on last nights? :grin:
I laughed, a lot... Near on wet myself at the Peugeot part :ashamed:
-
I enjoyed it to the point they acted like Peugeot owners/drivers. I enjoyed the history and then it went down hill.

Ever since this Peugeot issue was brought to light. I have noticed a lot drivers in these vehicles are useless.
