Default Top Gear is back

Thanks lenny! Had a little gander, they look like good packs, will probably invest in one!

And yeah I know what you mean, just a nice honest down to earth bloke. As he says no muss no fuss!

I thought this weeks top gear was fairly poor. Almost the whole show on making ambulances and then their predictable antics.

I am getting fed up with Top Gear, I enjoy the silly things but that shouldn't be the whole program. I want to actually see cars, think of all the sexyness that has been released since it was last on the air. The LaFerrari, Hellcat, Corvette, Porsche 918, Citroen Cactus. These have all been reviewed in Top Gear magazine, often by the presenters. I want to see them thrashed around the track by the stig, not someone lying in the back of an old Porsche desperately trying not the fellate a mannequin.

I have to agree, I miss the silly reviews of family hatchbacks and the actual car reviews.

A few years back, they matched a car against a cbr600rr which was quite fun to watch.

I actually laughed at last nights episode more than I have at any in a long time. Maybe because there was a few of us watching it together.

Still to watch the second part of Guy Martins thing, first part was good. Might watch it now actually

I laughed a lot at last nights episode, as did everyone else I talked to. Even though you know it was staged, it wasn't OTT & taking the proverbial too much.

Last nights was daft and stupid, but my god I laughed, a lot. I was also impressed with the guest they had, even though his driving was a little average

I've saved up the Guy Martin and I'm gonna watch it when I get the chance.

I laughed too. In fact I really enjoyed it. Just want to see car reviews as well. Although there are so many YouTube channels reviewing cars these days I suppose the top gear crew deem it unnecessary.
