top gear returns
« on: January 17, 2013, 08:28:00 pm »
copied of another forum

Top Gear returns on Sunday 27th January (TBC) at 8pm on BBC2 and BBC HDSome spoilers:Acknowledging that the India Special wasn't quite as spicy as it could have been, Jeremy, Richard and James will venture to Africa in search of the source of the Nile, just like the British explorers of yore. Only they'll be doing it in some fantastic used wagons they bought online for £1,500: a BMW 5-Series Touring, a Volvo 850R, and a Subaru WRX with a toilet seat for a hood scoop.Jeremy commissions students taking Coventry University automotive design to make him a car that's even smaller than the Peel P50 he drove a few years ago. That's how he ends up trapped in a scooter-looking thing."Consumer Affairs Editor" James attempts to turn a Bentley Continental GT into a rally car, and they say that the way the two-ton luxobeast handles on a muddy stage "may surprise you." Hmmm...The guys will be participating in another U.S. road trip, this time driving from the Nevada desert to the Mexican border in the new SRT Viper, the Lexus LFA, and an Aston Martin Vanquish.Another Big Race like the famous Bugatti Veyron vs. James' plane episode from a while back. This time, they'll be racing from Wembley to Milan to catch a soccer match with Jeremy in a Shelby Mustang GT500 and the other guys in a train.Richard and Jeremy redesign a Fiat Multipla to make it into the ultimate car for old people. (Not just the ultimate car for people with poor taste.)Remember car football? It's back, except this time it's car rugby. I can't wait to see how this will go down, and then try it myself, and then get arrested. Again.Road tests of the Toyota GT86 and Pagani Huayra, and a hot hatch battle between the Ford Focus ST, Renault Megane RenaultSport Cup 265, and Vauxhall Astra VXR. Which FWD street fighter will come out on top?

I'd rather watch 5th Gear and Wheeler Dealers any day of the week. I don't mind bits of it, but most of it is gimmicky rubbish, and wastes a lot of time which could be utilised on proper car reviews and more useful challenges and group tests. But then I suppose 6m people wouldn't watch it.

It's like 20/20 cricket; entertainment for the innane, Daily Mail reading general public.

Well I certainly don't fit your demographic Ian.  :confused:

I watch Top Gear because it is a damn good entertainment programme that is centred around cars. If you are after something more highbrow then you are on a hiding to nothing.

I love the banter between the three guys but I get bored of seeing them doing more or less the same crazy stuff. Jeremy Clarkson's review of the Mk5 GTI on Top Gear in 2005 is the reason I booked a test drive the following day and then ordered mine.

Apparently after Top Gear is the piece about Colin McRae, part 3 of the Stirling Moss/Jackie Stewart series.

I enjoyed the Jackie Stewart program, but the crash one will be right up my street!  :party:
