That vulcan is epic.

KiNgPiN83 · 19 Jun 2016 at 20:10

The noise of the Vulcan! :eek:

That shouldn't be allowed.

Sabine is insufferable. She may be able to lap the ring quickly but she's simply awful as a TV presenter.

Matt is the best by far.

She's dolled herself up too, I wouldn't mind taking a trip around her ring

The whole thing is hopeless tbh. The whole point of the old road trips and challenges was the rapport and chemistry between the three of them. There's absolutely none of that with this bunch of misfits.

Is it the settings on my TV or is Bear orange?

Vertigo · 19 Jun 2016 at 20:31

Screw this rubbish, going back to the golf.

KiNgPiN83 · 19 Jun 2016 at 20:32

Definitely. Lose Evans, Sabine and Jordan. Bring up Chris Harris and someone else. This is the first time I've seen Harris and I like his style. Plus he doesn't shout for no reason.

oldbag · 19 Jun 2016 at 20:37

The stars in the rally cross section is boring.

cm1179 · 19 Jun 2016 at 20:55

vulcan was something else but this challenge doesn't work due to the lack of chemistry and banter

Captain · 19 Jun 2016 at 21:01

Eddie, sabine and Chris are the weak links, Harris, Reid and leblanc should be the main 3.

Andr3w · 19 Jun 2016 at 21:02

Apart from the rally cross driving, i've really enjoyed this episode!

A cheap car road trip/race, my favourite formula in old Top Gear. You get to see the bond/hatred of the cars form, you learn about their character, the bits that don't work etc. So what did we get from this episode, what did we find out? "I like ze wheels, 20 inches ja!" Seriously? They might as well have said "We rented these three identical Vauxhall Astras from Hertz to drive to Venice, Eddie's taken the train."

The whole thing is hopeless tbh. The whole point of the old road trips and challenges was the rapport and chemistry between the three of them. There's absolutely none of that with this bunch of misfits.

Exactly. No banter, mickey taking etc.

I didn't think I'd be saying this but Harris is wasted here. It isn't a proper car show and it is no longer an entertainment show. Fifth Gear should snap him up.

KiNgPiN83 · 19 Jun 2016 at 21:04

The best part of this show was the Vulcan with CH. maybe Top Gear should've went the old route and stuck with the factual car stuff that CH/RR do? They just aren't going to compete with clarkson Hammond and may doing the clarkson Hammond and may stuff. Mainly because the chemistry isn't there. I can picture JC, RH and JM actually going out and doing things off screen together but I can't see the new guys doing the same... It speaks volumes that RH and JM went with Clarkson in the first place.

Last week's was the best for a long time but unfortunately this week's was back to the same tosh as last 2 or 3 years

how Ruddy dare you!
get him lads

Other than the train bit I thought that episode was pretty good. Even didn't mind Chris Harris.

NooBish AbbZ · 19 Jun 2016 at 21:15

I was getting very confused about the comments in this thread. I've watched last weeks only an hour or so ago

Sagalout · 19 Jun 2016 at 21:27

I quite enjoyed the episode but they are trying to cram too much in. When Clarkson and co did a challenge it took up the whole episode apart from siarpc. With adding in another 2 films there's not enough time to properly get into the challenge.
