Top Gear Series 18 *SPOILERS*
- Thread starter Tute
- Start date
These comments about how it's so crap now are just boring.
Yes we know it seems to have changed, but you can only do things so many times and you were easier to please when you were younger, anyway
I like some episodes better than others, and I almost always hate the star in a reasonably priced car feature, but it's still entertaining to watch, almost certainly more entertaining than anything else that is on at 20.00 on a Sunday evening.

Not a bad ep, the end bit was saved by the final footage.

They do make a program to cater for people like him.
It's called top gear and its enjoyed by many more than just those on the internet who find it too low brow.
I was really disappointed when they said it wasn't, that was the only thing I was looking forward too in that episode
Will the proper ST be making an appearance this season?
i think thats why i enjoyed it so much, i was in streams of tears with laughter at the 2nd half of that
I found it really enjoyable, the edits had me in stitches, and so did the director going ape at the pair of them. The only bit that bored me was when JC was trying to give new lines to the actors about the Jags Traction Control, went on too long and was a bit cringeworthy. All in all though, I thoroughly enjoyed it, Ryan Renolds is brilliantly funny 
I believe that was a real Focus ST they used...not yet available for purchase.
Jeremy just said that it wasnt to cover it up
no I really don't think it was, it sounded pants, a real 5 pot st would have some real grunt to it.
It isn't hard to swap over a few panels to make it look like one.
Much better in theory having better economy and more power. And probably even more tidy on the corners with the lighter engine and LSD.
But it's definitely losing one of it's biggest attractions. The 5 pot soundtrack.
Blame the ever-tightening EU regulations for that. The new ones have caused quite a shift in the HH market - no more 3+ litre V6s in hatches, no more CTR, no more 5-pot ST/RS, and I believe the NA engine in the Clio RS also had to go.
As said..it's not longer a 5 pot..plus it was more than 'a few panel changes'. Bigger brakes behind the wheels plus the centre exit exhaust gives it away.
Not so easy to just swap around, those parts.

I thought conspiracy theories were only found in GD?
I would put my house on it that it wasn't a real ST.
So it would be next to impossible to make a mock up exhaust to make it look like an ST? and swap some brakes over?
It had no engine note to it whatsoever..........
