pedrosixfour Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Ah I like fifth gear too. There is serious competition between Tiff & Plato, makes for some funny segments at substantial speeds. Why can't we all just get along??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Watched about 10mins of last sunday's 'show' and turned over. I realise the show is not a car review journal anymore, but watching the same old jokes and staged events that we've seen time and time again is no longer 'entertainment'. I generally watch the internet channels these days that review performance cars. Much better at grabbing my interest; I'm happy to leave Top Gear confined to the history of what it used to be and not what it has become.

cered Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thoroughly enjoy Top Gear, the only TV show I make time for / actually watch on TV. Wish they'd do more genuine reviews but with their Top Gear silliness, e.g. the mk7 Ford Fiesta review Jeremy did a few years back was 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I can't see that m6 coming past the GTR like that?? Gtr`s arent all that fast after a ton, also don`t forget the bmw is only rear wheel drive so transmission losses are alot less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I thought Sundays show was absolutely horrendous. The presenters were all embarrassed by it, and rightly so, given their twitter comments etc. It's been getting really questionable over the last few years but this season so far is completely taking the biscuit for tripe. I watch it because I'm a petrol head, not because I enjoy the three stooges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonR24 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Good show, I think both types of show have their place though. Both styles very entertaining in their own rights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yup, much better http://media.aintitcool.com/media/uploads/2014/draven/margot-robbie_large.jpg You hit the nail on the head there with the second image Jay I only got round to watching The Wolf of Wall Street a few nights ago so images of her were fresh in my mind! In summary, great episode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Much better show last night, agreed both have a place. I was loving the i8 but fook me 31mpg and similar owners reporting the same, that is bad. Why o why does some standards agency not get involved on car manufacturers ridiculous claims and enforce realistic driving through a independent company, and where I mean realistic would be same B road, same motorway at same speed at same time of day, something like that.

Abz Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Much better episode, I know it's not a car review show & hasn't been for a while but it's nice that they aren't going OTT with it. Will Smith is a legend! Looks like he has just stopped ageing!! Margot... Oh my! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewysdanny Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Predictable Crap . Just a slight slant on all the previous shows . This show needs to go back to being a car show with new presenters .Every line is so heavily rehearsed that its become a bore ...... get VBH as a presenter along with younger fresher talent , these old men just don,t CUT IT ANYMORE !!!
