Funnily enough I thought it was going to be rubbish tonight. But I agree, best one in ages.

Registered 8 years agoI was annoyed at the shit car bit because my golf has had that auto-reverse thing for the last two years! Apart from that it was lots of fun. Wish they'd lay off the acid a bit when colour grading though!

Sure, but many many years of super-cars on Top Gear have rendered almost all of them unexciting. Racey camera shots and cuts are far too familiar. Doing something interesting (and funny) with a dull car turns out to be entertaining. Just as long as they don't attempt to repeat it anytime soon.
Still, a KIA. Aren't there more exciting cars out to do this with? -

Registered 11 years agoThe Kia review was already a repeated gag, just without the gag bit. In the original sensible car review, they stressed up front how serious and investigative they were going to be, asking all the important questions. This time didn't set up the gag, just ran with it.
I thought that was an okay episode. Better than last week, but barely above average. Fucking rugby.Cubby didn't know how to turn off sigs!

Registered 8 years agoEnjoyed every minute of that one and I find it very interesting that with the same car over a relatively short lap he's 1.1 seconds faster than vettel. How I would love to see them both at the same f1 team."If we hit that bullseye the rest of the dominoes will fall like a a house of cards, checkmate." Zapp Brannigan

As mal said, the regular car review with a twist has been done before. Personally I like the big road trips, they don't necessarily have to include supercars all the time, unusual bangers or proper classics are just as fine if not better. But these features with day-to-day cars... I find them quite dull as I can see those down the street.SYS64738 wrote:

Also when they go somewhere spectacular is great, gives good ideas for trips to "re-enact" so to speak. Done the Transfagarasan pass from the Romania episode, was brilliant. -

Registered 8 years agoThere's not a lot they haven't already done left to do, but I enjoyed tonight's show - Done before but done well. I was hoping they'd chuck an M135i in against those hatches though, seeing as Clarkson's been raving about it. -

I wouldn't put any great stock in the numbers on that one. Whilst I think Hamilton is a better drive than Vettel I also realise that there was absolutely no way in hell that he was going to leave that track without absolutely stuffing his lap.

This is Top Gear after all, and you have a well loved British driver vs a kraut.

So, Lewis. That Mercedes. They're a bit shit, ain't they?

There's loads of classic cars they could do features on. There's loads more categories of bangers they could do competitions with. And that's on top of all the new cars being released. Seems to me there's loads of material they could so stuff with that I'd enjoy - but maybe that's just me.

Registered 5 years ago10 minutes in from Jeremy Clarkson "Something something Belgium!"
Is this episode from 1996?
Edit* Also, wish he'd stop saying torques and horsepowers.

Any episode that features a man who they say is 43% horse meat ain't all bad. -

Registered 7 years agoApart from the voice of the late, great Richard Briers that was one of the most pathetic episodes of Top Gear I have ever seen. Actually it was one of the most pathetic episodes of any TV show I've ever seen.

Registered 8 years agoArmy truck was great, just a shame it was coupled to a segment where someone is surprised a Range Rover can go off road. Again.
The rest was gash but at least the two parter coming up sounds interesting. -

Registered 8 years agoThe army lorry thing was somewhat ruined by the ridiculous 'trial' and the fact you could see tyre marks everywhere showing that, in fact, a vehicle had already gone up there and that there would therefore be no tension to the army vehicle and/or Range Rover going over the terrain.
Had to be one of the worst episodes ever. On the back of a really good episode last week as well. -

Registered 8 years agoI quite enjoyed it. Probably my favourite so far this series. I quite liked the silliness of the OAP-mobile, and they did raise some good points on accessibility. McAvoy wasn't too boring, and I liked that auto-truck thing.Kirby is the man! Even if he wasn't, he'd just ingest and become one.

Enjoyed last night's show even if a bit tepid compared to the last week. Despite the piss taking, the OAP segment was thoughtfully done on the fact that manufacturers seem to enjoy making things as unnecessary and obtuse as possible without considering the practicalities.
I also admit the Horse of the Year bits had me giggling like a twat too. -
