Come again?
<Can of Worms>
I love right on red when in the States, and would welcome left turn on red here in the UK!
Yup that would be the one.
But almost every corner in most US cities has a walkway. It would still cause chaos. I don't disagree with it out of town though.
Putting it into google translate...
It wasn't very good. The cars were just side shows - as ever. I find it hard to believe they drive such a wonderful set of cars and form no conclusion at the end of the program!
thats probably because there is no conclusion to reach really. Clarkson prefers the AMG, he goes into great detail why on his christmas DVD if you're interested. He drives the GT3 and the 458, and decides he likes the SLS best.
The GT3 RS has won evo car of the year so is obviously a special car. Being a porsche fan Hammond is going to prefer it over the AMG / ferrari.
Likewise James is a bit of a ferrari fan, and again the 458 has won tons of praise from journalists so is not exactly a bad car, and james is going to prefer the 458.
Yes a magazine like evo will take everybody's scores, tot them up and work out which is the best. But Top gear isn't a serious car review show. its motoring entertainment.
Yes in a horse race you have the few horses that might win, then the also rans, the space fillers.
Thats what the cars are on that show now, space fillers for those 3 comedians.

It would certainly be the SLS for me also. I love the slightly retro yet subtle styling and its presence comes from its sheer class. It doesn't rely on the bling in-your-face styling of the Ferrari. It's the classy brunette to the slutty blonde .

Uhm Jeremy made a whole big deal about him and James both having had haircuts.
Good episode i thought, still some cocking about which i enjoy and thankfully none of this "oh no i accidently crashed into you lolololol" or "Oh look james is lost again lolololol"
Don't think this has been mentioned yet, James May had a pretty nasty accident during the filming of the 3 Wise men show :-

Apparently he said "Hammond hit his head on the whole of Yorkshire, I just bumped mine on a stone".

From the advertising poster I've seen at the station near work its not true Top Gear, there's no Clarkson in the poster, just Hammond and May?To the people who didn't like it: For the love of god don't watch the new 'Apocalypse' DVD. It's embarrassingly awful, I and love TG normally
Correct, there's no Clarkson (he has is own DVD, which is actually pretty good), it's basically just Hammond and May in a really crap episode of TG, which lasts for 90 minutes. It raises the odd smile, but overall it's just........really bad.
Bit of a tit for standing on the tow rope though.
However, respect for a TV show that actually does things where people can get injured (ie not totally HSE obsessed).

Jeremy falling off his scooter on the vietnam special springs to mind, that was hilarious

Watched this episode today and quite enjoyed it, missed a lot of the banter because I had to share the room with the parents yapping so will watch again tomorrow.
