[Rod1]

series link that shit.

[DeanAngell1234]

Buzzing for this :)

[Saxjoe]

No HD for live viewing then :(

[griff_106]

Only good thing on TV tonight imo

Got to disagree mate - there's a documentary presented by Chris Hoy about Colin McRae at 10pm on BBC, and judging by the others in the series it should be a good'un :y:

Definitely looking forward to Top Gear - the trailer looks alright for sure! :)

[Saxjoe]

Sounds good might have to give that a watch! :y:

[griff_106]

Sounds good might have to give that a watch! :y:

Yeah man I'll definitely be watching at some point (whether it be on iPlayer or recorded).

The other two were about Jackie Stewart and then about Stirling Moss - very interesting if you're into F1 and its' history :y:

[L33h]

I might aswell watch that aswell then haha

[Quick]

No HD for live viewing then :(


Its on BBC HD, not BBC One HD!

[Saxjoe]

Its on BBC HD, not BBC One HD!

Brilliant! I should just stop being lazy and look at the tv guide lol

[Saxjoe]

Top gear time! btw 100th post OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHH!! :p

[L33h]

congratulations

[Prickle]

Cue the usual rants in a hrs time.

[Saxjoe]

congratulations

Thanks bud! :y:

[Rogue_Shadow]

I spy the new Viper :panic:

[Nates-VTR]

New pagani opens up like a transformer! Also the inside looks like something out of doctor who..

[Jay_]

"magic flaps" lol.

[Tom5190]

"magic flaps" lol.

also my reaction haha

[dave_1]

James may in the bently was filmed about 10 mins from me

[Jay_]

That was incredible. Loved it.

[L33h]

i want one of them P45s hahaha

[MrHouston]

Am i the only one who wasn't impressed? Bentley coverage was amazing. The p45 was way too long winded and got boring. I can watch Top Gear all day but after waiting this long for the new series, it wasn't as good as it could be!

[L33h]

I thought it was good lol. liven up ya misery :P

[SaxoGT]

That Pagani was mental.

[DeanAngell1234]

P45 was hilarious lol. The Dragons Den bit was a tiny bit boring, but I hate Dragons Den lol

[Prickle]

That was incredible. Loved it.

My thoughts aswell.

[Pug-123]

Don't think i've ever laughed as much at the tv if i'm honest!

[Heftydanielson]

Couple good bits, cringed when the Bentley got air, sounded expensive

[Saxjoe]

Trading my saxo in for a P45

[Gabbastard]

Bit meh tbh. Although Kris Meeke did sound quite angry at points lol

[Rogue_Shadow]

More of the same
Gave me something to watch so I won't complain too much :y:

[Jordysport]

left the room after the bentley, I hate the star in a reasonably priced car crap, really boring. may watch the latter part but looks shit start to the series :(

[L33h]

anyone else think the Pagani was horrible? Them mirrors... urgh

[Nates-VTR]

left the room after the bentley, I hate the star in a reasonably priced car crap, really boring. may watch the latter part but looks shit start to the series :(

I hate that part too but looked like abit of craic in the snow..

[Jordysport]

I nearly died when hammond said "better looks" when comparing Huriraiahfiah to the Zonda.

Zonda R is sooo much better looking than that blob.

Aye i thought the same. its horrible imo. Fast as fuck tho haha

[James93]

P45 though.. PMSL!! :homme:

[burgin2011]

shite first epsisode imo!!

[MrHouston]

Glad i'm not the only one who wasn't impressed.

lol

them mirrors are fucking awful though.

and the shifter, whats it pressing? buttons?

[GolfJay]

I don't see everyone's issue with the Pagani. It was always going to be hard to beat the Zonda in the looks department. Does it do it? No but, it does look rather expensive and thats a big thing with Pagani. Especially when it's not far off a million quid!

Comparing it to the Zonda R is just pointless. The Huarya is for the road, the R isn't.

One of those final edition zondas that Hamiltons got will do me.. 760r or something?

They need to kill of the shit arse licking star in a car bit as well. Give me more cars not people!!!

[m4tt274]

When the Zonda came out i was like 'uuggghhh'
Give it 5+ years, maybe less and the huiryauira thing, whatever its called im pretty sure will 'mature' if you like. It will look better once some new cars have followed and its aged a little.

[VeiRoN]

Love Top Gear,the P45 part was pretty hilarious,also i was quite impressed that the Huayra got the fastest lap.

[MrHouston]

Bentley just tweeted the car straight after the rally, it was driven back to the factory..

The zonda is starting to look dated. The Huayra is way nicer i reckon in the flesh you would change your mind.

pronounced wyyyrraaaa.

Top gear did a terrible test really, didn't explain the little details Chris Harris made such a better review.

Watch Chris Harris review below shows it in so much more depth..

[L33h]

"Why are your arms wet?"

"because they have water on them."

Lmfao!

[jdr]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIcGHY_Al_I[/QUOTE]

Couldn't agree more, his videos are detailed and entertaining. I can see online car journalism overtaking top gear in a few years.

[CraigLovelock]

Wasn't impressed with this episode :(

Sure the cars were nice, but it felt all so acted. Badly.

I know it's all scripted etc, but this episode just seemed so rehearsed.

And I hate it when dragons den do acting, like when they do the children in need etc. It's cringy to watch.

Just my 2p I guess.

[L33h]

On tonight lads!

[Mr_X]

The first episode was cack , this one has great potential.

[JoshSmith]

I can't stand all the dragons den stuff either mate, i used to swear by top gear its so scripted now though, although the last one was funny with that quad thing . :panic:

[TomT]

Bump for ya fuckers

[Dany4494]

America looks so good.

[W103_A5H]

LFA in that yellow, fuck yes! <3

[TomT]

Jeremy's tuned up the astra diesel line killed me.

[Prickle]

i lold when Clarkson tried to put that wood in the viper lol

:homme:

[blackie_2k5]

Pretty boring tbh

[LSOfreak]

love the 3 cars, but fuck me how boring did it get with the lazer quest and kiss arse the star in reasonably priced car

[Gabbastard]

Top gear is so tired now its unreal

[Mr_X]

Top gear is so tired now its unreal

True.

I cant think of what they could do which they havent already done tbh.

[D1zzyman]

Have they done anything like this ?

[Viper]

i lold when Clarkson tried to put that wood in the viper lol

:homme:

I wish Clarkson would put his wood in me...

[L33h]

thh i thought this episode was shit. Far too scripted and boring imo

I thought the last episode was much better even though loads of people thought it was shit

[griff_106]

Just watched it on iPlayer and quite frankly don't know why I bothered wasting my evening doing so. It was alright, but just alright. Top Gear's been going over 10 years in this format - it's really getting on IMO. I feared this would happen when I heard a new series was being made tbh.

I don't really look forward to TG anymore... it's just something to pass a dreary Sunday evening. Shame really :S

Watch Chris Harris review below shows it in so much more depth..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIcGHY_Al_I

Absolutely love Chris Harris's video's - look forward to them every Wednesday and actually wish they were longer like this week's 458 Spider vid. It's probably not for everyone, but for car bores it's miles ahead of Top Gear IMO :y:

[hillyberry2009]

They have the best jobs in the world

[DAMSK11]

Think everyone is jumping on the 'top gear is boring and scripted' bandwagon tbh. I liked it tonight, was entertaining. Apart from the star in the reasonably priced car bit.

[Rogue_Shadow]

Bring back Fifth Gear :y:

[Manu]

:clapping:

[rey]

I still like it.

Enjoy watching it whenever it's on.

[mlawlan69]

caught up with them both last night as i work most/all sundays so not caught it yet.

i love it, so funny. yes it's scripted and the re used shots in some sections annoy me, but it's still a great bit of entertainment !!

[MangoGirl21]

I have to admit I still love Top Gear!! Yes its predictable and the star in a reasonably priced car bit is boring as hell but Jezza is the best at saying inappropriate things were all thinking and its better than anything else on on a sunday!!

[jones91]

It's not as good as it used to be a few years back, but I still enjoy watching it most of the time apart from star in a reasonably priced car, that bits shit tbh

[hellonpluto]

It really has run its course now. They've already done all the challenges and the trip to america was boring as shit.

The people they are getting in for the reasonably priced car are all mongs so far.

I m just looking forward to watching lewis hamilton on the track but that'll probably be the last episode in the series.

They should go back to covering the rally and car shows.

[Brettles1986]

I love Top Gear but cannot stand the star in a reasonably priced car shit.

[W103_A5H]

8pm lads and ladies! :y:

[blackie_2k5]

If its anything like last week I won't be watching next week

[L33h]

I hope its better this week like. The last one was shit, Ill still be watchin tho

[L33h]

I love Top Gear but cannot stand the star in a reasonably priced car shit.

Aye same here its boring as fuck. i didnt even know who it was last week haha

[yeahbuddy]

I love Top Gear but cannot stand the star in a reasonably priced car shit.

This is the only prob with the show I think personally. I'd prefer if the guest brought their own car and tried their luck :afro:

[L33h]

what a shit car to choose

[simmo]

Dont mind star in a car this week.. I want to be her husband.

[Tom5190]

gigady-gigady

[L33h]

me too lol. i love lasses with a scottish accent

[knight-22]

"Peel"... hahaha.

That Amy Macdonald though. :sweetheart:

[LSOfreak]

absolutely love that mustang! i want one

[L33h]

absolutely love that mustang! i want one

[Cam]

15mpg :n:

You one them people Clarkson was on about? :homme:

[L33h]

[mikeytvtr]

[mikeytvtr]

[wingnuts]

[Tom5190]

Did you sniff amy?

[wingnuts]

Yea she smelt like cigars and car food

[Bedford126]

Yea she smelt like cigars and car food

Fuck me mate bet that smells nice.

I had a feeling she would smell of wet dog.

[LSOfreak]

how do you even get top gear tickets?

[Bedford126]

how do you even get top gear tickets?

Register then wait years or know some one on the production team.

[Jay_]

Well, I enjoyed it.

[yeahbuddy]

how do you even get top gear tickets?

Its on the BBC website you don't wait ages at all.

[VeiRoN]

Tonight on 8.00 PM new episode,channel 169 on Sky.

[RobVT]

or channel 2,102 for normal people.

[hillyberry2009]

or channel 2,102 for normal people.

Agree lol.

[wolf_gsxr]

I've noticed that everyone who complain's about it is here week after week complaining. You don't have to watch It lol. It is scripted and might not be as hilarious as it used to be but it's still one of the only things worth watching on tv. I wonder what this years special will be. I loved the arctic one.

[Davyy]

I'd have the Megane!

[L33h]

waiting for this to come on iplayer cos ive been playing snooker!

Hurry up! haha

[MrHouston]

You do know you can watch live on iPlayer, and just click restart the programme?

I started playing it at 2030 on iPlayer

[L33h]

You do know you can watch live on iPlayer, and just click restart the programme?

I started playing it at 2030 on iPlayer

I really didnt know you could do that. you legend :drink:

[Davyy]

Top Gear and now Fast & Furious on ITV2 - decent!

[Jay_]

I'm glad it confirmed what I already new about that lovely magic stick between the seats.

Even works in the van.... ;)

[L33h]

That would be amazing playin rugby in cars haha

[hellonpluto]

Turn if off when they were going to do rugby. Prefer to play cod mw2 than watch the same shit over and over and over again

[L33h]

Im sick to death of cod its shit now. Dont play it anymore

[L33h]

on tonight people. Christmas special isnt it?

[blackie_2k5]

It is, 2 hours long I think

[L33h]

I best go and get some cans then :)

[blackie_2k5]

Better be good, as this series has been pretty crap and looks to have Been made to a small budget

So they need something to bring it back

[Bedford126]

It's 1 hour tonight and one hour next wee. Half the amount of cans mate.

[griff_106]

I'll be watching it for sure but probably on iPlayer - Motherhen is about to dish dinner up so will miss the start of it lol.

This series has been a bit up and down IMO - there have been really funny bits and some cringingly predictable bits as well tbh.

[L33h]

Better be good, as this series has been pretty crap and looks to have Been made to a small budget

So they need something to bring it back

aye i think its been canny boring aswell. last weeks was shit imo

It's 1 hour tonight and one hour next wee. Half the amount of cans mate.

ahh ill just drink em anyway haha

[blackie_2k5]

Really? Fucking hate two parters :(

[m4tt274]

Prefer to play cod mw2 than watch the same shit over and over and over again

Thats ironic.

[Bedford126]

Thats ironic.

Ha ha was just thinking the same.

[griff_106]

Really? Fucking hate two parters :(

Pretty sure the second is only on next Sunday at the same time mate!

[0rang3peel]

ahhh an 850r one of my favourites I will have one, one day.

[blackie_2k5]

I know, but it means waiting a week lol

[L33h]

how can ya get a bloke who knows fuck all about cars (engines etc.) reviewing them?

[GolfJay]

I spied a Mk2 Golf! Even in Uganda, Mk2 Golfs still exist!

[Jay_]

how can ya get a bloke who knows fuck all about cars (engines etc.) reviewing them?

Because he can write about his experiences of them. Anyone can tell you how a car drives. Don't need to know how it technically works to say if it works well or not.

[blackie_2k5]

Wasn't bad I thought

[McGuire86]

Was great, his coffin for a cabinet of clothes cracked me up

[ns9900]

taking th chunk of jezza's door, surely u'd have noticed!

[m4tt274]

how can ya get a bloke who knows fuck all about cars (engines etc.) reviewing them?

The show is 'entertainment' Its scripted to be entertaining.
Dont get to cought up in what you see on TV at present and remember that Jeremy in particular has been working around cars for longer than ive been alive! He will have picked a few things here and there up ;)
All three of them are more intellegant than most, more competant with a spanner than most people on here i bet.

Think of all the builds that they have been involved with and all of the projects they have shown.
:boxing:

[Gandi699]

Lots of UK registered cars in uganda, obviously they must be shipped out from here. Ford scorpio was one and the F registered scania truck

[W103_A5H]

Bump just incase people have forgot, either that or no one gives a shit about it anymore lol.

[blackie_2k5]

on now, wankers :y:

[L33h]

ganna watch it on iplayer now :)

[blackie_2k5]

Was good

Some good break downs.. Won't spoil it, but those Volvo wheels!

[Prickle]

enjoyed both parts. Was good.

[McGuire86]

I loved the music at the end from the film, Zulu :D

[Bedford126]

Thought it was really shit tbh.

[L33h]

I thought it was good tbh

[LSOfreak]

on last nights episode, i have to say, when the log went through the back window, i dont think ive ever laughed so much on top gear lol

[rey]

I was nearly crying when that happened.

One of my favourite moments on Top Gear

[holdawayt]

Best 2 Top Gears yet.

Every time you think "here we go again, something scripted is about to happen" it doesn't. Brilliant. I mean, everyone thought Hammond's car would go up in flames when the beans were cooking, and I'm sure we expected one of the other cars to sink. So glad it's genuine humour now not scripted bollocks.

[Giraffe]

Thought there were a few good laugh out loud moments in the last 2 episodes. Wonder if they will actually be credited with finding the source of the Nile...?

[Brettles1986]

I love the specials, mainly because they don't have the 'start in a reasonably priced car' shit which is so boring to watch.

[slammed_saxo_vts]

Really enjoyed the last two episodes. More then the rest of the season that, as said, seemed a bit low budget.

There are a few cars that I think they should have featured as well!
