johnny g Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 They've been trying too hard for about the last 5 years. On the whole you're right - but I really thought that the first two episodes of this season were like the Top Gear of old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 On the whole you're right - but I really thought that the first two episodes of this season were like the Top Gear of old. Absolutely agree. But tonight was like a leftover from one of the previous couple of series in comparison - found myself getting bored with all the non-comedy stuff.

Miguel Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I was really looking forward to watching it tonight considering the chase segment was filmed about 5 minutes from my door. Wish I never bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Nice to see the FT86 mentioned briefly. I'll look forward to when they get one to try at some stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I liked the Masserati. If the gearbox was too slow out of 'race mode' then why not just leave it in 'race mode'? If that was the only thing wrong with it then seemed to be a very good GT car from what I could see. Much better looking that the usual Masserati i thought. But then I suppose you can't really make any sort of reality judgement on a car when you watch Top Gear these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Is it just me or is Hammond regressing into a 9 year-old? He's really, really, really, really, really p1ssing me off this week and I am quite tempted to drive down and cuff him round the back on the head. He'd better off just doing kids telly these days and leaving some adults to talk about the mo-mos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I used to watch top gear dead on 8pm but to be honest I forgot this week as the content is so poor. I had it recording so watched it at nine and yep it was shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail on proverbial head. I'll only watch TG these days if nothing else is on, and even then i still can't commit 100% of my attention to it.

It grates on me the way his voice goes up in pitch by an octave or two when he's having some "banter" with the others. He's probably more annoying than Clarkson these days: at least Clarkson can be amusing when he's not in full smug mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It was boring and a bit disappointing IMO. The first Top Gear my brother has watched for about 6 years and it was utter poop. I was hoping it would be good so he'd get back into watching it, but there's no hope of that now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 That Brutus machine though, what a fire breathing animal! I've seen that at CPOP and its not that special to be honest. On the other hand the Bentley replica was more like it As for the rest of the show, well hmmmmmm, same old crap really and think they should through the towel in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The Bentley was a work of art. It actually got me thinking about building something of the same ilk but much cheaper. Given how expensive Rolls Royce Merlin and Meteor engines are, I've started looking at V12 Jags as a donor I also think that little Morgan is fantastic.

PJ Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I think this current series has been a marked improvement over the previous couple of series', that said there is room for improvement for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I think the programme has been going downhill for some time, it's the same theme of buying all sorts of different vehicles to do stupid things. I just record it and fast forward 90% of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
