yes, you can tell he's dieing to say something sarcastic all the time, he's Spiteful .........Rory Reid is quite good but he appears lacking in self-confidence at the moment

Yeah I kind of get what you mean I didn't really factor in that most of the cars there are casual drivers and most non professionals

Other than the fiat bit, the episode was quite good, would rather see them put the golf up against a focus and CTR as opposed to driving around the nurburgring but it was still quite enjoyable. Did they say how fast they managed to lap the ring?
Matt Le Blanc is pretty good with potential to get better.
Whilst Chris Harris, other than when doing individual car reviews, is incredibly boring with little presence or personality. I would rather watch the American in TGT than Harris do his circuit training with the celebs, he is annoying when trying to convey any sort of personality at all, with terrible delivery. Keep him in the cars.
The other guy Rory from the GTI piece appears to have potential but he doesn't seem to interact with the others in the studio, maybe a confidence thing but otherwise Le Blac is the only one to offer any stage presence or potential for development, the other two, not so much.

Funny that, being a proper actor and all

I actually really enjoyed SIARPC this week, she was funny, and i was actually in stitches when Chris was trying to teach her to drive.
Overall, another good episode, nice light hearted entertainment and plenty of giggles here, even off the missus who doesn't watch it!

We really enjoyed last night's episode, better than old TG and better the TGT as well imho

The communication between the presenters isn't and actually won't come close to the original trio. They're different personalities and with different interests. I feel it's only the money that they're there for. I only watch the program for the cars, the presenting is ok but it just lacks excitement.
The star in the car bit is pointless. Yesterday just seemed to drag on. Also the bit where Matt finds something totally irrelevant to cars such as the muck spreader. I find that bit like when Jeremy would say he'd found something on the internet.
Chris Harris while a great car reviewer he just doesn't seem to be comfortable, it's like he really wants to go all out expressing himself but falls short, then comes across really weird.
Rory has bags of potential, I feel out of the three he seems the most eager. He just lacks confidence as others have said.
I think we're all used to seeing 3 mates messing around with the added bonus of nice cars. So our views on what Top gear had become was exactly that, and not the car review show it was when it first started.
These 3 just seem like work colleagues, no chemistry. Yes the car reviews are a bit better, less messing about etc. It's just lacking the entertaining punch for me at the moment. It probably will change and they gain some chemistry between them which may occur in future seasons.
I really want to like the show but yesterday's episode was just bland for me, it's not because of the content but because of the presenting.

Well she does know every part of the track by memory so can drive faster than many of the other drivers who have perhaps only been there a few times and are a bit scared (though this is all to be expected when she was passing Porsches in a Transit lol).

The editing whilst they went round the ring was all over the place, like others have said most of the cars she past were just cruising around and not actually going for it.
The transit segment she did previously was better.

I was really enjoying it until Le Blanc turned left at Hammerhead, then it went downhill from there.
Chris Harris gets more annoying by the week, Sabine can drive but shouldn't be allowed to talk (has she aged 10 years since the last season?!) and the guest was just dull as dishwater, not helped by having presenters who can't conduct an interview.
I can't comment on the rest - I fell asleep.

I thought if a bit cheesy turn left at hammerhead was kind of a cool gimmick - atleast it was a bit different.
Sometimes I think she just wills the car around - if you watch any of her videos really aggressive and some odd lines which if just about anyone else did they'd be picking armco out their teeth :s
