Top Gear Returns Sunday 22nd June 2008

Personally thought the alfa stuff was too long or maybe htey do these tests too frequently - once or twice a season is enough for me, then do a silly stunt once or twice - but it looks like its going to be every other show

Funny in parts - but more new cars need to be shown imo

Deffo the best episode of the series but thats not saying much. Liked the bentley and the alfa track day though

Oooooh, 8C.

Well that just has kick-ass written all over it.

I missed it as I was watching some crappy horror film and eating Pizza round my mates. :mad:

Oh hell no, i cant believe i missed this. I knew i shouldn't of started playing MGS earlier.

lukeharvest · 7 Jul 2008 at 02:08

I thought it was hilarious tonight; when Hammond was crashing into James' car, then him being in a strop for the next 24-hours.

He will hate the GT-R. Probably lose as well. My 'goodbye world' letter will be emailed to the BBC.

Angilion · 7 Jul 2008 at 04:03

He has already reviewed the GT-R. His opinion boiled down to it being so efficient that it's boring.

As far as I know, the GT-R is limited to 112mph in Japan. So you can't really race one there.

Dutch Guy · 7 Jul 2008 at 09:26

I hate to say this but it is becoming predictable and as such less funny, but maybe my bad mood yesterday clouded my judgement

(my girlfriend :eek:

laughed at the constant rear-ending of May)

melchy · 7 Jul 2008 at 09:29

I've found this series a bit disappointing as well this far.

utajoker · 7 Jul 2008 at 09:36

always funny when they open their doors in to mays cars.

how come they are doing 2 stars in the car this season, is it because its a short season and they need to fill the board up?

i also think the alfa thing went on abit too long although it was funny, needs another car review or something, and no stig this week :/

anyone know if there gonna get lewis hamilton back on, he said he would come back last season didnt he?

Mad old tory · 7 Jul 2008 at 09:41

Good episode but not as good as last weeks. Next week's looks pretty epic though

pitchfork · 7 Jul 2008 at 09:52

I hope lewis hamilton is back on, but saying is easier than doing.

One thing I didn't like is them trying to mess other people track days up for the alfa challenge, thats just kind of harsh.

I think they would have warned them they were doing it first don't you think

K.C. Leblanc · 7 Jul 2008 at 11:55

I can't belive he destroyed a 75 v6. When I saw it on the trailer I was so hoping it would be James or Hamster's. Clarkson just seems to destroy everything he goes near.

And the 75 isn't an ugly car. Sure it's not mainstream pretty, but it is a pretty car (on the outside).
