Re: Top Gear is back
yep, I really do like Clarkson's reviews of hyper cars such as this one! Quote:
wow, that's good!

Re: Top Gear is back
its was a great episode ..always surprises me what great ideas come from this small island
I reckon top gear should be funded by UK trade and investment! Isnt the P1 tech similar to the new regulations for the 2014 F1 powertrain units ? The format seems better when the staged "race" doesnt spread itself through the whole episode.

Re: Top Gear is back
With the guys that say last nights episode was top gear. I really enjoyed it, stupidity and info in just the right amounts.

Re: Top Gear is back
I left it on in the background and agree it was a better balance.

Re: Top Gear is back
I agree - much better episode. Did you know BBC Alba do a Top Gear copy in Gaelic with about 0.1% of the budget?!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...s_6_Episode_1/ If you can stand subtitles, might be just what the people who mourn the loss of old Top Gear are looking for - reviews on sensible family hatchbacks, days out with classic car clubs etc.

Re: Top Gear is back
I agree with Andy Willman's comments in the Radio Times, Top Gear is all about accessing our inner 9 year old, I hope I never loose mine.
