Found it boring, my favorite episode ever was the bike one in vietnam, and its not because i ride a bike, im not into bikes like you lot. It was just a great atmosphere, and the fact the crash cant of been staged lol. I so hope they do another bike episode through india or something.

I can't remember which episode it was, but they had to get approval for something they built once, as they said it would never have passed the German equivalent (TUC?). Might have been the limos episode.
Edit - Was the limos episode as Clarkson's Panda was too long and had to be cut down a bit!

I think it all has to pass certain tests, cos if there was an accident due to an unsafe vehicle, you would still be prosecuted, the bbc wouldnt take that risk.
I think hamster was going to cook and melt all that concoction together hence the fire.
Loved the show though, i like when they do the build challenges.

some of the senna bits where taken from a documentary that was shown last year

Thats the best episode of Top Gear for a long time. Purely because of the Senna piece in the last bit of the program.
Ah the sound of a V6 Turbo reminds me of being a kid watching "Grand Prix" with my dad...

But yes the Senna bit was good,especially hearing the voice of James Hunt again:(

i'd say it was, both mullard the gearbox, tom went wide on the corners and both bounced it off the limiter on the approach to corners, yet they produce times close the F1 drivers
either that or they were allocated more laps then everyone else
anyone smell that?

anyone smell that?In a completely different car. remember that the F1 lot use the orginal Liana. The C apostophe D is mor powerful and 7 years newer in development so is probably quicker. I rekon that the stig shoudl always set a lap in the new cars so that they have a benchmark to aim for.
I dont think the lap times were rigged, i just think the laps you saw were not their fastest. Theres no way Cruises lap shown could have been his fastest doing part of it on 2 wheels, but then a normal fast lap would have the excitement of him nearly flipping it. im ok with it and thats what matters!
And the Senna tribute was fan swear word tastic! BIG thumbs up Lenny
I liked who excited Hamilton was in driving his car and saying 'Yeah im going to go round a corner one handed just to see what its like'
And that Veyron SS, crikey! 276mph AVERAGE, so that hit about 280 one way i reckon to do that.

That new Diaz and Cruise film must be total bilge if they have to appear on Top Gear.
That new Diaz and Cruise film must be total bilge if they have to appear on Top Gear.Well consider the fact that TG attacts a HUGE audience in the Uk, probably more than anyohter chat show type thing, including This morning, and its probably a film that points towards the male gender and as clarkson put it 'Everything blows up' then its just really good marketing, and the fact that they were sort of in the area doing the Premier, its also good for the show ratings.
As for the film, what do you expect its going to be, Lord of the rings with Tom Cruise on a Ducati? Its mindless leave your brain on the seat and enjoy type stuff. I'll be queing up thats for sure :lol:

And as for the that was faked business, everything shown on Top Gear in the last 5 or 6 years is either over dramatised, exagerrated or just totally made up.

A modern F1 driver in every aspect then. TBH I didn't know that about him either and was a bit shocked. Especially as it was clearly his (and probably his team's) plan from the start of the race. Ring any bells
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_Formula_One_crash_controversy
My main memory of Senna is the final few laps at Monaco when Mansell was trying to get past, of course at the time I wanted Mansell to win but now I appriciate what skill he must have had.
