Top Gear thread

[Eye of the Tiger]

You're just mad because you wish you were Rutledge.

Is that the annoying incompetent fat one with the big head? Or is that the useless one? Or the only one who can actually drive.

I think the hosts have chemistry, I think the show tries to stick too hard to the UK's model.

That's one of the reasons I don't like it- their "chemistry" is way too forced.

[VTEC_Inside]

That was a good one... Had a good chuckle at Layla...

[SVT666]

That was a really good episode.  The rugby game was awesome.  That poor grass though.

5/7. Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond try to solve the problems increasingly complex cars pose to an ageing population, designing a vehicle for elderly people and putting it to the test in Dorset with the help of three pensioners. Meanwhile, James May gets acquainted with the latest Range Rover in London before pitting the luxurious off-roader against an autonomous military machine in Nevada. X-Men: First Class star James McAvoy tackles the test track in the Reasonably Priced Car

Last weeks was difficult to follow but I enjoyed the Range Rover bit.

[CJ]

I thought the Range Rover performed admirably.

[TBR]

Eh, not a very good episode.

[SVT666]

That was a pretty good episode.  I enjoyed it.

I'm going to be hosting a Top Gear Night as my house.  We will be watching the North Pole, Vietnam, and Bolivia specials.  It's gonna be good. 

[Northlands]

Hasn't he already been on?

Yeah he was in series 10 ( 2007 I think ). There's been a few guests that have been on the show twice though.

[Cookie Monster]

This episode kind of sucked. Didn't enjoy it all that much.

Well, that's kind of unique and cool.

Sadly, I have to watch Top Gear alone since my friends aren't cool enough to appreciate it...

[Mustangfan2003]

Just watched the American one.  The taxi challenge was alright.  Looks like they are having car football next week.  Doesn't look as good as car rugby. 

[Colin]

1st part of the 2 episodes in Africa is on now.

Will May's Volvo 850R and Clarkson's 528i Touring prove as tough as Hammond's Impreza WRX as they head to the source of the Nile.

[CALL_911]

I didn't like last week's episode much (19x05).

[VTEC_Inside]

lol @ 5 series skid plate. I don't know if I just wasn't paying attention when he cut it out, but I did notice it was missing...

[SVT666]

Part 1 of "Source of the Nile" is awesome.  I enjoyed every minute of it.

[CJ]

Part 1 of "Source of the Nile" is awesome.  I enjoyed every minute of it.

Me too.  I loved the Toto bit.

[VTEC_Inside]

Watched it again without doing something else at the same time. This one is right up there with the best of them.

[Cookie Monster]

That was amazing.

I need a Subaru. I hope Richard didn't break it in Part 2.

[Morris Minor]

One of the best.  They just keep delivering.

I'd like a poster of Clarkson contentedly knocking back a beer in the evening light.
Tag line: "Fuck the critics."

[SVT666]

It was great.  Not as great as The North Pole, Vietnam, or Bolivia, but definitely as good or better than Botswana and Iraq.

[TBR]

That was amazing.

I need a Subaru. I hope Richard didn't break it in Part 2.

Of course he did. But then he fixed it.

I would probably only put this one ahead of the two America specials and Iraq, but really great TV regardless. Of course the whole time I couldn't help but think that my car would be much better at it than any of their's while still fitting the criteria.

[VTEC_Inside]

I lol'd at the parts swapping. I knew the jagged cuts would drive May nuts.

[SVT666]

The last episode of Top Gear America was actually quite entertaining.  They had to build a vehicle to survive an apocalypse.  I LOL'd through the whole thing.

I heard it was extra shitty so I didn't bother watching.

I didn't like the parts swapping. Made the cars even shittier. Dumbass May should've used his own door.


I was especially sad when they took apart Richards car, though the toilet scoop was pretty funny.

Whoever said that was wrong.
