To all those who are saying it's cr4p, what exactly are you expecting? I quite enjoyed it - it was a bit of fun with a couple of really nice cars, and a fairly amusing piece about a half decent all rounder. Clarkson, Hammond and May work to a pattern. Changing the pattern is a big gamble and might result in the show being cancelled, which will happen in time but it is still very popular.
I would like to know what all you naysayers expect them to do with the budget they have. Suggestions? :smiley:

10 badass 911's, with a couple of cheeky rsr's in there, and all they can think to do is drop a beetle out of a helicopter. pathetic.
i wanna see an opposite locked '74 2.7 rs dammit.

It is now time to kill it off for good, its run its course, its been great over the years, there is no longer any surprise element, or novelty, they are only interested in Supercars! Star in a car was someone I'd never heard of, why not get someone that has some sort of interest in cars at least, and a proper interview! total crap! "Christmas specials" only please

Ffs! I'd rather watch that than east-fcukin-enders every night! With the same old inbred stories! :angry:
Nout wrong with top gear once a week for a bit of a giggle and drool over some cars i'll never afford.
-
Youtube was invented for looking at fast cars being thrashed about and abused, Top Gear is an hour of old(er) blokes pissing around and getting paid for it.
I think the haters are just jealous that Richard Hammond used to be on the same channel as Jo Guest, and look at him now.
Oh and the BBC licence fee is for Chris Moyles' ego to be transported around by Eddie Stobart and his lunchbox!

I quite liked this weeks episode. Nice tongue in cheek feature on the Yeti, seems a damn good car. Porsche bit I was hoping would be like the Lancia piece they did a while ago which was a shame, wasted chance to show all those porkers in action. Atom bit was cool, never really been a fan of star in the car. I liked TIff being in it, hope he makes more appearances.
Only another 5 episodes to go though.

This is the second episode since the stig went that Tiff has had involvement with isn't it? Missus bumped into him a few times at Brands for the BTCC final not even knowing who he was :grin:
Apparently a really nice chatty bloke from what she said
-
woldnt be suprised if tiff was stig :lipsrsealed:
and they need a yeti vrs spec :grin:
-
Really enjoyed tonights episode. Good entertainment, not too forced sounding.. Atom V8 was ace!
-

How can you not have heard of John Bishop. He is really rather funny - well as comedy is subjective, I and quite a few people I know find him funny.
He's been on Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, etc and etc.
You need to stop having a life and sit yourself down in front of the TV for a good few hours. Get yourself some popular culture education! :smiley:
I thought last night's TG was fine. Very amusing with some good cars. What more do you need?
Haters gonna hate, lol.
-
I enjoyed it and although format isn't much different I doubt that will change and I think the porsche's were from a club and were there only for show (not looning around in?)
and the big test is my lad this weekend..........if he only watches it twice then I know topgears day's are numbered :smiley:
-
did anyone notice the poor soul who got the tattoo look like he was gonna cry when clarkson said, its not good
things you'll do for fame eh?
-
I missed it as I was too busy playing Black Ops, but then again I can just catch it on iPlayer.
As for it running it's course, I feel it has burned out to a certain extent, but it's still enjoyable to watch, if you don't like it, do something else. :grin:
-
I enjoyed it and no doubt will watch it repeatedly on dave for the next few years to come. Top gear lets be honest is an entertainent show not a car show and if we take it as that it's a laugh and I am sure even the haters out there had the odd chuckle while watching the show and after all if you are made to laugh watching something is that not money well spent?
-
That Ariel Atom is a weapon I want one. I thought it was alright the mad road trips are best though. :cool:
-
Not sure if any of you lot noticed, but at one point they had the NEW stig driving without his white kit or helmet on.... did any of you lot spot it? :laugh:
-
I enjoyed last nights episode, yeah its the same old thing but i like it and was entertaining roll on next wk :smiley:

you reffering to tiff?

Nope, it was when Hammond was in the beetle racing the porsche, check again and you will see :cool:

hes not in a white race suit so is just some bloke.. stig is rumoured to be a lass anyway? sabine maybe
-
Nope not a lass and not Matt Chilton.
-
:rolleyes:
-
who then ffs :D
i missed it :(
is it repeated at all??
-
Just looks like the stand in driver they used for the old stig, quite a young guy just trying to remember his name. Its on iplayer already.
-
Tiff is the emergency stig apparently, his driving style in the race against the bike looked different to the hot lap using the new stig.
who then ffs :D
i missed it :(
is it repeated at all??
Iplayer mate
-
The new stig looked fairly small so I think it could be this guy....

No, never herd of John Bishop, I've seen Mock the Week quite a few times, but never seen the legend that is John Bishop on it, and live at the Apollo, is that that show full of 2nd rate so called comedians? I suspect he was only on TG because the BBC will be trying to push something with him in, over the next few weeks!
I think that TG is good, but has backed itself into a corner, as presenters, I still enjoy all three of them, I just find the concept of the show, is now dull and boring, and they need to move onto something fresh

ferrari 250 GTO and 288 GTO
and what a transit not laughed so much for ages

again beutifuly made crafted and put togather and some sexy cars! fantastic yet again and i bet all the haters from last week watched it this week!!!
-
love top gear, dissapointed with the australia thing, been on the net for about six months as a full hour and 20 min program, hope we actually get 6 new programs this time, last series was 3 new ones and then "best of top gear" comps, which was a bit of a rip off.
gets more and more scripted and set up, but the production values are amazing.
is still pretty much the only non sport based bloke program on tv, other than anything with boobs of course.
-
It was pretty funny when they raced the 'commercial' vehicles, but not a surprise.
-
again beutifuly made crafted and put togather and some sexy cars! fantastic yet again and i bet all the haters from last week watched it this week!!!
Yes I did watch tonights show, and was a vast improvement on last weeks episode, but that wasnt going to be hard! never a hater of the show, just bored with the overstretched concept, roll on next week... we'll see

Will be watching next week as usual but a bit disappointed with the first two espiodes overall

It was on last year though, shame topgear had to show old stuff.

I only watch it these days as there is little else on the other channels. It's all getting about tired now for me and could do with a freshen up.

More real life reviews, and relevant to the average punter.
Instead of supercars that the normal man/woman will never be able to afford, or blowing sh!t up, as they can't think of anything else to do.
As per everyone else, Top gear is getting tired now.
-
i averaged my usual one chuckle per TG...
but I have forgotten what I chuckled at :/
-
I still like it. If you wanna watch a show about cars watch fifth gear, people have had the same complaints about top gear for as long as I can remember (isn't about cars blah, blah blah) but to be honest, it's been a lifestyle show for longer than it was ever a car show....

Mexico's ambassador in London has complained to the BBC over "offensive, xenophobic and humiliating" comments made about his country on Top Gear.
Eduardo Medina Mora has written to the BBC about "insults" made by Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson and James May.
Discussing a Mexican sports car, Hammond said vehicles reflected national characteristics so "Mexican cars are just going to be lazy".
The BBC did not comment but said it would respond directly to Mr Mora.
Reviewing the Mastretta on Sunday's show, Hammond said: "Mexican cars are just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat."
The presenters, known for their edgy jibes, then described Mexican food as "refried sick".
Clarkson said he was confident he would not receive any complaints about their comments because the Mexican ambassador would be asleep.
However, the ambassador did complain, and demanded an apology from the BBC.
"The presenters of the programme resorted to outrageous, vulgar and inexcusable insults to stir bigoted feelings against the Mexican people, their culture, as well as their official representative in the United Kingdom," he wrote.
"These offensive, xenophobic and humiliating remarks only serve to reinforce negative stereotypes and perpetuate prejudice against Mexico and its people."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-12338053
I thought it was exceptionally xenophobic and wasn't even in the stlye of good natured banter like our forum :rolleyes:
I thought it was pretty awful behaviour for one of the BBC's flagship programmes.
-
Didn't hear the Mexican Ambassador to the US pipe up whenever Robert Rodriques makes a film.
:rolleyes:
-
I think it's ridiculous when people claim to be offended when something relates to them, yet will happily enjoy something that is offensive to others.
My friend has a theory that people are rarely actually offended, just like to excercise their right to be offended and he's definately onto something. Australia was the butt of many many jokes in that particular episode, as I bet the British will be in the Australian version of the show but I couldn't care less.
Do you really think that the Mexican people could care less about what was said? I have a Mexican friend who thought it was hilarious. People need to chill out, of course it wasn't xenophobic, it was a joke...
-
Who was this weeks guest? Me and my workmate were talking about it but neither of us can remember who the guest was! Very annoying
-
was it the scouse comedian John Bishop?
-
My friend's facebook status
The Mexican Ambassador has complained to the BBC about comments on Top Gear. Richard Hammond is accused of calling Mexicans lazy. Mr Eduardo Medina Mora, 54, said that he saw the show live on Sunday and rang to complain as soon as he woke up on Tuesday afternoon.

We've just got a new mexican member on here. He's a spy! Hahaha.
-
Good man, cheers.
I wouldn't mind a first car like his, imagine the insurance though.
-
just saw the top gear with the Mclaren vs Ferrari and totally disagree with Clarkson's review of the Mclaren. He's talking a load of tosh
-
There does seem to be more favourable reviews towards the Ferrari. But don't forget Ferrari are not happy if you give their cars bad reviews and have been known not supply cars in the future if you do.
The handling on the Mecca certainly is more controlled and inspires confidence in the driver, whereas the Ferrari is tailhappy when pushed.
-
exactly. Also the Ferrari's tend to burst into flames due to the glue they were using.
I think that Mclaren have the right attitude when creating a car. Use all the methods they have discovered through motorsport and apply them to making a road car. From what I can gather watching TG the MP4/12C is using active suspension that was pioneered by Williams back in 1991. That's 20 year old technology from F1 trickling down to production road cars.
I don't get the whole fascination with the Ferrari "emoton" and crap like that. If a car looks good, drives well and doesn't spontaneously combust in a fireball then it doesn't matter what badge is stuck on it, it's a good car.

Was nice to see a top gear that was about cars, they even acknowledged it at the end :laugh:
Its also annoying that Vettel is such a nice bloke :grin:

I agree with the statement about Vettel! haha...never was too much of a fan of him, but he came across quite well on top gear!
-
It's crazy what cars they managed to get for the price of that crappy Nissan. Just shows how much better value second hand cars are!
-
Agree about Vettel, he comes across as a far better sportsman that a certain other German world champion...

Hel also seemed like a genuine fan of the show too.
