Yeah, 30 odd MPG from the i8.......wonder what he got from the M3! Bet it wasn't that much worse.

Re: Top Gear is back
You're not thrashing it hard enough then
Was a good show and I enjoyed watching the fear in Hammonds eyes in the land rover.

Re: Top Gear is back
What the hell was that all about?
Ten minutes of Clarkson and May crashing two Peugeots? Hardy cutting edge journalism is it lads... Very poor show. Pete

Re: Top Gear is back
it was all going so well until the end.. they could've cut the peugeot bit in half. Quite entertaining and varied so I cant complain. besides I dont read the daily mail or express so thats me out. Its quite refreshing that they are playing around with the format albeit tongue in cheek.

Re: Top Gear is back
It really was scraping the barrel rubbish, out of date as well seeing as the 208 GTI is actually a pretty good car. I think maybe they were planning on filling 10 mins with the three hybids going around the track but the manufacturers changed their mind at the last minute so they had some time to fill. That poor MR2 in the garden centre, was painful to watch.
That double roundabout in Chipping Norton is a pain though no matter what car you're in. Rest of the episode was good though, up until the last 10 mins it was the best of the series so far.

Re: Top Gear is back
It's a shame about the Peugeot bit.. The rest of the show was good. I did keep thinking they were going to show the new 208...
