New Top Gear (2011) BBC 2 8PM!

What's with the White gaffa tape over the number plates in the studio, never done that before?

 

[Kenai]

So I assume everyone moaning this week will be tuning in again next Sunday for their favourite scripted unfunny boring motoring show so they can have another moan about the same things all over again?

I personally quite enjoyed it, decent bit of TV to end the weekend, just the job.

 

[loltim]

Oh dear.

 

[Mr-White]

Do people watch top gear just to moan ?

I liked it, wasn't their best ever episode but that hour flew by

Car maybe owned by a private owner, it's not unusual for TG to ask owners for cars to be used in the show.

 

[edd1e]

apart from the Atom v8 that was a load of tosh imo.

 

[Jonny69]

I enjoyed that. Looks like they got their budget back!

Ariel Atom was way awesome and great to see Tiff make an appearance

If I was minted enough to be a an enthusiast and own a porsche 911 turbo s I'd want everyone to see my car on the tele

run the 911 turbo on the airfield tarmac and it would have beeten gravity!

Is it hard to understand that people watch in anticipation of a good segment? Top Gear have a habit of doing the odd amazing episode, and the odd good article.

Or do you just enjoy moaning about us moaning?

Thought it was great as always. No idea why half of you lot even bother watching it.

Maybe so but when you're trying to sell a car like that years down the line it doesn't look good to see it's been in the hands of journalists, even just as a studio prop.

Errr, why?

OMG, I agree with Fox for once

 

[cm1179]

it was alright. no need to drop the beetle though imo

they yeti bit was so long because clarkson is a massive fan, made quite clear by his review in the times a few months ago. it's a very good motor imo, with a lot of thought gone into it and is now getting the rewards from it, hence the 6 month waiting list for such a car as this.

 

[Kenai]

Yes, considering some people have been making the same old moan for about three seasons now, you'd think they'd have learnt their lesson now and just stopped bothering if it bores them so much.

Hell, if there is the odd good segment that everyone raves about - watch it on iPlayer, it's amazing how technology these days can let you see something even if you missed it live.

Ditto.

EDIT:

could have dropped a £200 rover...

Swing and a miss!

 

[Berserker]

Mythbusters rip off

That was what I thought too. Did Hammond really drive that car?

 

[Maccy]

Thought it was brilliant tbh!

Channel 187.

Thanks. Sucks that they moved it far away from the cluster of standard channels. (Minus Five HD)
