I was mildly entertained. Clearly not the best special they have done but there is plenty worse on TV.

It is predictable, but you know that before you watch it. I enjoyed, better than bloody strictly come dancing and all the other rubbish the BBC produce!

I was very disappointed with the episode.  I'd say about 95% of it was scripted.  There were none of their trade mark races or tests as such.  I'd say the worst special they've done so far.

There's only so many time you can flog a dying horse.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

it was better than there last xmas special, but i can watch the old vietnam and america specials over and over again, this one i think just the once will be enough

its all too obviously staged, in the old ones it looked like they were having a laugh and if it was staged (most likely) then they acted well.

i want to see them buy crap cars, get set stupid challenges, and have a laugh at them failing, not a staged "oh look, there car gets smashed up while they look the other way"

I really wanted to say your all whining and it was brilliant, but after having watched it I think you have all been far too nice about it, it was without doubt the worst, crappiest, utterly boring, mind numbing, IQ lowering piece of trash that they have ever made!

It was like an hour and a half of having pins shoved under my finger and toe nails, I'd have enjoyed having an angry wasp shoved under my foreskin and needles in my eyes more than watching that.

Current cars 1995 Golf gti colour concept 2.0 8v 156,000 miles. bmw 316 1.9 129,000. yeah, life's good! :rolleyes:

Topgear as a car program was finished a long time ago.

Its now barely a comedy.

Indian roads are terrible. I learnt how to drive in New Delhi at about 13-14? Honestly its soo easy.
I carried 500 rupees with me incase I got stopped. To us that like £10 to them thats like a years wage or something silly  :laugh:
