I think my eldest nearly wet himself laughing when the patient was launched through the window

It's the first episode in a few series that I've laughed a lot at. It was total nonsense, as Top Gear has been for ages and as boring, but those few accidental gems were bloody hilarious ��

"accidental"

I'd like to see a few more of the reviews in response to "customer" letters. Jezza's review of the Fiesta in response to Mr Needham's query where he evaded baddies in a Corvette and took part in a beach assault with the Royal Marines was fantastic, right down to the foot on the bumper as he signed off as a nod to William Woolard in old Top Gear.

I'd also like to see Hamster do more tests in the crucible of racing with touring car drivers. And James in odd situations like when he maxed out a Veyron.

Stuff along the lines of Suzuki swift football is always fun.

On a positive note all that ambulance driving rubbish at the end was filmed in Rype village which is the MOD training facility at Lydd where we used to do all our riot training.
I've always thought it would make an excellent venue for a couple of rally special stages and if they are now letting Joe public in they must have relaxed the security regime.....

Make a good AR venue to......

I get the impression Jezza has a few mates in the MoD thanks to his HFH work. Doubt Joe Public can get in there. A bit like some of their previous items set on ranges and other training grounds.

Anyone on here from Theale? Feeling a bit hard done by?

Matt-EUC · 10-02-15, 03:42 PM

I saw a sign for theale once, can I claim compensation for emotional distress?

MOD are probably leasing it out for some wonga, as all Government departments are trying to raise as much extra cash as they can.

I much preferred tonight's episode, although would have liked a bit more on the i8.

When Clarkson got in the I8 with the fish and chips I nearly had a heart attack.
