Did no one else notice how the MK2 suddenly turned into a MK3 when it was "blown up"?

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

Just watched episode 2 from Sunday night, got to the end and thought - what a waste of an hour. They spent 10 mins talking about cars and the rest was sh!te. Why on every episode do they think we want to watch them have some pointless and over the top race.

Like the race with the Taxi's, it was so fake and set-up. If they are gonna race at least race....not cars going through walls and cars through Limo's.

As for the Free runners again Trial bike....WTF...its a car show, it had Zero relevance. I think they have just run out of ideas and are just making up silly sh!t to do.

Dont get me wrong, I have loved the the entertaining things they have done over the 11 series, but  does anyone else think its getting a bit stupid now....at least spend 20-30 on cars stuff and maybe even review a car we might buy.

Seems Fifth Gear and some internet shows like Drive and Motor trend do a much better job....

Anyone else feel the same?

Only reason I see Top Gear is if I am on the wrong channel. it is sh!te. I switch to Discovery and watch Fifth Gear. Much better and actually about cars, not about some crappy trip in a crappy car around the world.

Now..being a mk2 16v owner I thought this would be a film about how it's better than modern GTI's. Instead it was pointless dicking about. Nothing to do with the cars, just the "cool 80's".  :huh:

Could have just cut and paste any 80's /90's car in there and it would have been the same film.

What a wasted hour.

My money is on you tuning in next week all the same.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Series 21 - surely by now people should realise it is an entertainment show and what to expect.  If you don't like it then don't watch it, plenty of decent car programmes on oher channels and the web.

Same thing every season.
Everybody watches it, everybody moans but yet everybody watches it next week :whistle: :lipsrsealed: :rolleyes:

Try watching Ozzie tv, you'd love to watch top gear its better than the sh!te they put on over here!
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
