jamesmark Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Top gear starts again on Sunday 2nd November @ 8pm on BBC2. Series 12 preview can be found here. So this is the Top Gear reminder/discussion thread for the whole of series 12. Saves on multiple threads appearing over next few weeks. So those who are likely to miss it, forget about it or generally have a social life this is your reminder to put it on series record now. Repeats are usually aired, however best to check individual TV listings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 Why the 'Rant' header? Funny that, it never had the 'rant' header earlier. I wonder who could have changed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 After seeing the Lambo and Porker, it reinforces just how much I'm liking cars in white at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 What a rubbish start to the new series. I'm sure messing around driving trucks was fun for them but it's just more of the same stupid stuff that they've been doing for some time now. Very boring, it's looks like it's aimed more towards a children's audience rather than for real car enthusiasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Top Gear is an entertainment show for the masses, it stopped being aimed at real car enthusiasts a long time ago, once you accept this you enjoy it more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Was I dreaming with some of those depreciation values? Give it a couple of years and i'll get a Lambo for a tenner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Did Clarkson's truck remind anyone of the one from Universal Soldier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Did Clarkson's truck remind anyone of the one from Universal Soldier? I thought his truck looked really cool, well until it nearly broke him and set on fire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Thought it was really good and entertaining Laughed out loud a few times with the trucks. As Michael says - treat as entertainment rather than a car programme and sit back and enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I've not laughed so much in ages. Although I knew it was all staged the truck thing was just so hilarious. "I think I've damaged the lights at the front and rear" "It's worse than that, it's not there!" "Well where is it?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy07 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I thought that was a brilliant start to the series too,that lambo was nice. But you cant take it too seriously when you look at the number of people that watch it you understand why they keep making the program the way they do!

ivan Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I love the way they've claimed the "5th Gear test track" as theirs now. Even had a deliberate outside shot of their studio 'headquarters'. They'll be filming at the Ace Cafe next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Haha, great start to the series... I laughed my head off when Hammond lost that Nissan Micra... Hammond: "is it bad??" May: "No, it's worse than that" May: "Where's it gone??" Hammond: "I don't know!" Classic!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
