He probably did. He's probably still doing it now ;)
Great!
Love top gear!
I also love spamming. Jagshemash!Quote:

No Impreza for the UK is bad, but then what's sold here as the Impreza these days isn't something I'm wanting to trade my car in for, anyway. The Forester would be a nice option if it hadn't gotten so big. My parents have one that if anything feels like my original Impreza.
If I'm ever in that part of England I should have no trouble getting a ticket to Top Gear:

the latest series has been pretty crap so far :( :dozey:
Apparently there is a South Korean version as well.
Here is a video clip of an American Ah1 Cobra chasing one of the Korean hosts (?):

I enjoyed the race to Milan. Yes they've done it before but it was still good television.
A friend of mind has one of those Mustangs. Lots of power, but I can't imagine a long trip in one.
Just 30 days until top gear's 20th season is on.
I know they've been to New Zealand and Clarkson also have been to Norway, uncertain if the latter is TG related.

I discovered TG this spring, and it has become my favorite program. I cannot wait to see more from the lads...

Very good start to series 20 today, especially Clarkson's rally driving in the rented Toyota. Some of the gravel roads looked like the roads used for WRC New Zealand. The hovercraft should be fun to watch .
In Ep3 of Season 20, Jeremy drives a McLaren MP4-12C. Now I know that this is only a minor thing but the badge in the centre of the steering wheel is that little upside-down swoosh thing which was a replacement for the Marlboro logo when they parted company.
The four-ring Audi logo represents the four firms which were blended together to form the new company. Lamborghini uses the raging bull which is both because Ferruccio was a Taurus and because his friend Don Eduardo Miura bred fighting bulls. Ferrari's prancing horse was suggested an Italian WW1 flying ace because it would bring good luck.
In comparison, the upside-down swoosh looks passionless and cold; certainly not what you'd expect on a supercar. Heck, even Vauxhall's logo looks better.
Am I the only person who noticed this? Would it hurt McLaren to put Bruce's little Kiwi on their cars?
Call me silly, but the swish could be said to be a sort of stylised Kiwi?

I'd like to agree with you, but I don't think so, I think it's a case of: "Any resemblance is purely coincidental"
Oh, the new series is on again? I've totally missed that! Now I know what I'll be watching next few weeks :)
Well its almost over, I think next week is the final episode for this season.Quote:

well I agree with you Mark that this season haven been quite boring. Last season started pretty weak but the got better and better.
This season is nothing special but I don't know if Jumping the shark is the right expression here, I think the problems is the opposite
that they haven't changed hardly anything and that they are re-making some stuff that they have already made.
I think they should take a break for maybe year or so. Then Start filming next autumn and perhaps only do a special.
The latest special in Africa was one of their best. Then they show needs to be more spontaneous at the moment it is
too much scripted/directed. Give the boys some room for improvisation rather then having every dialogue scripted.
The problem with TG is that after 20 seasons they have run out of ideas. Plus the three stooges are getting...well...erm...old! :p :
Based on the episode just gone, it is still the best show on TV.
The viewing figures are still high, and those complaining about it still watch it every week so no change there!
I see they've upset caravanners now, by suggesting they like dogging. It seems some people really can't take a joke! Who goes out of their way to complain about a joke on a TV show!
I used to be a massive fan up until the 14th or 15th season. I've given the last few series a miss (except for one episode in the 18th season I think it was) and haven't really missed it at all! Same thing every season :(
I think the producer or someone else of the production staff said that the first and last episode are the best on this season.
But yeah, the end of Top Gear as it is now is near
I'm just looking forward to see the Jaguar F-Type. Normally I find the power tests a bit dull, I personally find group tests of more reasonable cars more entertaining. I used to like the used car challenges before they became totally scripted, but the Top Gear specials are always very fun, Bolivia, Africa, Vietnam etc, I'm sure there are more possibilities here that they haven't explored.
I finally stayed awake long enough to watch the most recent episode and even the hosts were making fun of the current format.
Having been a keen viewer of the Drive 'Chris Harris on Cars' channel on YouTube I find it interesting to see shorter, less informative films of cars several months after seeing Chris Harris review it. For example:
[youtube]fJQ4hQSusjE[/youtube]
Which was done in January, or:
[youtube]IElqf-FCMs8[/youtube]
Which aired in April, or:
[youtube]ruFXKEIPTvA[/youtube]
From 6 weeks ago.
I think that Top Gear still has it's place though, the Drive reviews aren't as easily accessible for most people and it doesn't quite have the entertainment factor. The problem is that I'm not quite sure exactly what the place of Top Gear is, and I don't think the producers and crew know either. The 'jokes' are generally getting far too old and stale, things like banging on about Dacia and the set ups that rival You've Been Framed for obviousness (e.g half of the Hovercraft sketch).
Never miss it!!!
They go in a nice, fast, straight, line. Anything else, not so much...
anyone else that thinks that the new Jaguar F-type looks like cross breed between an Aston Martin and a Maserati 3200GT?
The F-type is prettier than any Aston. The rear lights are to die for.
Agreed.Quote:

The Electric SLS was handled very well given the complexity and technology involved, but then the BMW 1M and Pagani Huayra I thought were poorly reviewed that resorted to cliches.
Chris Harris isn't perfect either. His review of the Golf GTi was absolutely dire and I thought Auto Express did a much better review without their tame racing driver.
There is a formula such as the big race, the dicking about in the garage and real life test of a machinery of some such, road trip cum group test, more dicking about in cars but they are running out of ideas for fillers. There's only so much you can test a car and doing it with races have bored me for a number of years now.Quote:

Just saw the last episode of Season 20. I feel a little sad that if the same experiment of putting all the motor vehicles that Australia built in one place... there'd be about two dozen and that's it.
