The "Top Gear", Season 24/25/26 thread

Those 3 just have a dynamic - when one fumbles another picks it up so well, etc. - I find that doesn't quite work with the current 3 especially in the studio, etc. there isn't anyone to carry Chris in the bits he obviously finds awkward.
Again they have 2 out of the 3 right and I have nothing against them individually but they don't quite have that magic ingredient.

I thought that wire frame was the spare wheel holder that got trashed when the diff/drive shaft quit. It was utterly hilarious though.

Have to say I was surprised by the move to BBC1, I believe I am right in saying this is something they never felt it was necessary to do with Clarkson et al so unsure why the beeb have decided they need to do it, but hopefully shouldn't have too much bearing on the current content.
Pleased that this trio is being well received and have followed work by CH for a long time. Apart from the Chris Evans period I have never really held too much against the presenter line-ups and continued to watch as in the end its great to have a another car show! Can't complain as between Top gear and TGT we now have two great shows to loose an hour too. Long may it continue!!!
Should have stuck to doing the feature pieces and stayed in the background as a producer for the rest - I felt he actually did well there just set the tone wrong for studio/road trip stuff.

Its a fair point. Might of worked with a slightly different setup but guess we will never know now.
Personally the old trio was getting a bit tired and the show was getting more and more scripted as time went on. I liked le Blanc but Chris Evans was all wrong. Rory was a bit rubbish too. TGT is OK, but it’s still lost the old TG chaos and magic they had years ago.

Hey, hands off. She's mine.

Pretty poor episode in the end.
Skipped the celeb crap. Nothing to see there.

The Baha section was enjoyable, gutted for them that they had to retire so early! Weakest episode of the series however, but still enjoyed it on the whole.

There was too much standing around and silly banter and not enough actual driving for me!
Soldato
I find them quite funny actually!
And satisfying as he rightly bashes the pointless SUV and 'pretend' SUV market too.
The Baja section really was an epic anticlimax! To the point where I'm surprised they even bothered to show it, I guess they had put so much money into it they had no choice.
The Harris car round up has obviously become an annual thing for them. Its predictable enough that you don't really need to bother watching it in any great detail and short enough that it doesn't eat into the program too much. I do agree on the Mazda 3 though, even more so with the saloon version.

I actually quite enjoyed it. I don't miss Clarkson et al, they can be found on GT, but they aren't doing the old GT format now either.
I want to see reviews and comparisons of fast cars I could look to own. The 'specials' are fine but they should just be that.

Not a particularly good advert for the team supplying the vehicle. GPS never worked properly, drive belt failure which took out wiring and then the power steering quit.
