I think you missed the thread title where it says top gear not fifth gear.

Nope. I've seen pretty much all of the previous Top Gears and liked them, this one wasn't as good.

"At some point there's going to be a hideous accident"

*Wheel falls off*

"something's gone wrong with my handling"

Was it? IMO the car in the star bit was weak, the allegro stuff wasn't that good and was a waste of time as was the Police Car stuff. The only decent part was the Ferrari. Hope it gets better.

Mmm, that's what i was thinking and expecting from a few more replies...seems the things that passed me by as 'average' were 'hilarious' and 'wetting myself'.

That was a awesome episode. Police challenge was funny as hell.

Shame that they had a couple of **** driving the reasonably priced car.

Excellent- Do wish they had dithed "star in a car" and hadn't bothered with the lame stuntman but otherwise fantastic.

Yes, I didn't realise up until now!

But yeah good episode! Loved the police part

The reversing car bit was boring along with 'stars' in the car. The rest was good.

For me, I think the best parts of TG are where they take super cars to foreign climbs, the challenges - public transport against super cars, and the racing they did in the last series (the 24 hour race). The silliness (blowing up caravans, jumping cars, etc) has its place, however it shouldn't take over most of an episode, which, for me it did tonight, plus it is also coming a bit of a tired formula. But thats just my opinion.

for a car chase they should get the TG guys to drive their cars, as robbers would be wettin em selves, and instantly stop. as others have said that was quality TV, the race between the nissan GTR & the bullet looks to be another good race, will hammond & may ever beat clarkson in a race?

When is it repeated? :s

milkinc13 · 22 Jun 2008 at 21:17

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so!

Apart from that it was a great episode, gotta love their complete lack of regard for fuel supplies

I doubt they will

I have never watched the friday night project, but loads of people i know rave about it.

A couple absolutely adore this guy, and ive never heard him speak to seen him until this episode.

OMG what a ****.

Bloody camp people **** me off so much. "oh look im gay everyone look at me talking differently and acting as if im a woman"

phew rant over....

Anyway this episode was awesome! the police chase was so funny. The paint was my favourite moment though!

Death is too good for him, but until I can think of something better it'll have to do :mad:

On a serious note, I did think the M3 versus Prius was a very clever piece and hopefully made a lot of people think a bit.
