What's that, you spent ONLY £7k on each of the cars, drove them an EPIC 1300miles across not particularly challenging terrain, then bu99ered 2/3 of them up.

Wow, that's AMAZING.

You might have thought they'd have reduced the budget on the cars and made the challenges more challenging, instead of turning the money up and the challenges down.

best crap thats on though

Nope, the Tommy Cooper thing was much better.  Thank f*ck for the PVR.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Topgear special thread complaints check list

•Well this didnt live up to expectations at all.

•Disapointing they didnt show us the 'real' india.

•the same old jeremys right, hammonds a kid, an may is a buffoon routine is waring thin with me, who only approves of high brow guardian recommended programming.

•I wanted to see a review of 'real cars' like the new vauxhall agila, or nissan note, but instead i was confronted with 3 iconic british   vehicles.

•What a waste of licence payers money

I reckon that the people who will post these sorts of comments shouldn't bother watching it and just let us enjoy it.

Unfortunately I'm working till 8pm, but I got the PVR set to record it.


well said  :grin: :wink: :laugh:

Top Gear used to be the only show I would look forward to each week, but did not bother with any last series but thought would give this a go, wish I had not.

Surely they and the makers of the show can see it needs to change, how many specials have they done which are all the same, bar the country they are in? Buy 3 cars..turn up and laugh at the car each has brought..drive across the country..scripted unfunny events happen..JC is always right..the end.

Just all to predictable now, shame really as was a very good show

To me it was same old top gear! What did people really expect?  :huh:

and I bet it's viewing figures were still high, the new series will be the same and they won't change the format it if people still watch it (no matter how much people moan about it)
