Did anyone watch it? I thought it was pretty good. Stunning scenery and marvellous music. I'd say 7/10.

I loved what May did to Clarkson's car. However it was pretty obvious it was going to be 2 v 1 most of the time with May's car being so slow rather than all three of them driving together.
 
^ You must be new to the trio :p

The episode was the best one yet, laughs from start to finish :D

It's the pure definition of just guys being dudes and like how old TG used to be.

The dismantling of the car to get Clarkson out stole the episode :cry:

"He said he was too tall!"

Yeah scripted, what's new in teh world? These guys do scripted so naturally it just ends up being a laugh-fest because it's them.

Hammond was on fire that episode :cry:

However I think the biggest laugh came from May's wipers :cry::cry:

What did Hammond say as James drove towards them... "How far away is he?!" :cry:

I know it is very scripted but if May really did choose that car then he really lacks a lot of common sense for someone who is meant to be intelligent.

Yeah, I don't know why they do this sometimes. Sure, it gets a few laughs initially, but then doesn't the rest of the show suffer as we get a duo and James, rather than the trio?

Still, I thought it was very good though, maybe 7½/10.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, they took some of the scripted stuff and made it genuinely entertaining. I don't think May's car was scripted at all, I reckon that was his genuine choice.
 
I must admit, Hammond's 'Brummy' narration did make me laugh.

It did make me wonder though, with such a beautiful looking country, why do all the Poles seem to want to move to this sheet whole?

That trend, by and large, has stopped now.

Poland had a lot of EU money poured into it during the 2000s and it's no longer the same country it was in the 00s

They have indeed come a long way. My first visit was in 1991 where you either had no car or had a fiat 126p. Now it is pretty much like England minus the road network which is just absolutely terrible and the cars are slightly older. 90's Vectra's and Astra's.

Wages are still crap though as a lot of businesses are importing cheap labour from Ukraine or former Soviet blocks.

Great place to retire to as my mother has done but horrible if you want to work there. Opportunities are nowhere as good as here for money. She also has no chance of ever selling her house as no one has the money to buy it.
