Alex Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I thought it hilarious as well, however I was a little annoyed they didn't actually review any cars... It's not a show about cars...why would they review them? It's about c*#king about and being on purposely dumb for cheap laughs...using the odd car. The only time they review a car is when it's worth north of £100k... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I thought it was pap to be honest, the week before was good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Its not a car show anymore, its basically a comedy show. When was the last time they reviewed a new car on the track like the older series? I'll admit it has its funny moments, but I wish it was more of a car focused show. I still watch it every week hoping it gets better though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 So far this series has been boring. Although highlight was DR knocking LH off top spot by a country mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thats probably why i like it then as i`m not really into cars anymore, more into driving fast and fucking about:D If you want to watch car reviews switch over to 5th gear, now that is boring!

Marcus GTE Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm the same where i think it's getting a bit more about making Jeremy clarkston funny than doing enough on interesting and new cars. I also have this image of David Cameron laughing at home on his couch at all clarkstons jokes for some reason (not in a good way). I must admit though for all I complain about it I still enjoy watching it and the bit where the ambulance stretcher fired violently into the window and got stuck did genuinely make me laugh. The reason I tolerate it is because most of the real car shows I like are all on YouTube, including; Jay lenos garage Chris Harris on cars And the associated "drive" shows And motor trend If you've never seen any check the first two out for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodec j Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Enjoyed the last show,I call it a motoring entertainment show,it's all about having fun in motor vehicles of all sorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's getting a bit tedious now. They've done all the jokes to death. Even putting the latest supercar round the track seems to have taken a bit of a dive behind the clutching at comedic straw gags that stopped being funny two series ago. The Stig was interesting for a few years but even that is a bit stale. It used to be that I quoted "the only program I sit down and watch is top gear" to my mrs to justify having 7 hours of TV to myself a year. Now I am mildly looking forwards to the next series of the game of thrones and not particularly arsed that top gear has gained a couple more episodes this year.

Alex Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Chris Harris on Cars is where it's at now - he's the best reviewer out there. Engaging character with a child-like enthusiasm which really speaks to most petrol heads. I just believe his reviews more than others. It's also interesting to hear him talk about previous generations of cars and what their failings were, which shock horror we never heard about at the time they were new (especially Ferrari's!). It's a whole new thing...and if you've not watch his P1 video...you need to. [video=youtube;ufVQ-UKZbro] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I thought that episode was total pants. I'm looking towards the promise of; the Laferrari, Porche 918 Spyder and McLaren P1 all on the track on the same program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Very funny episode but just can't believe they are at the point of not even reviewing a single car now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Apparently the show is back to fairly normal next week with a few cars to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - this series has been super entertaining so far. and what about Daniel R - so much quicker than hamilton - impressive.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hammond's patient delivery cannon, while his ambulance's wheels were still on fire, was the funniest thing I've seen on tv for an absolute age! Yes, if they managed to get some car reviews in there somewhere, like Auto Express or Auto Car, then it may be of some use, but I do also like their specials too. It's getting almost like Last of the Summer Wine in places; 3 mature men getting up to no good, but without the wrinkled stockings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Tbh i did really enjoyed the last episode. I am looking to a more car specific one next episode too but I think alternating between serious and funny is a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
