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

....Damn! I missed the Jackie Stewart prog.
Sorry, that was a bit harsh. One shouldn't post when in a bad mood :ashamed:.
I would however like to see more of the quality of motoring journalism to which Robin refers, as it has been sadly lacking in recent series in my opinion. I find the challenges a bit same old same old, and whilst I found them entertaining and amusing in earlier series, They haven't really moved it on. Just my opinion though, we're all different and like different things.
I'm glad top gear is coming back, I really missed one of their great adventures being on at christmas (my all time favourite is the south america 4x4 special). For me top gear works when the 3 presenters interact with each other on the adventures or challenges doing the things we can't afford, or have the time or privilege to do. I except that it has been slightly tired of late and hope that it will return to its former glory. I love the cheap car challenges, the big races and of course the great adventures, when they get it right it is one of the few things on tv that genuinely makes me laugh.
Perfect escapism for a sunday night before the start of yet another working week!!
^^^Did he spot the bottle of chloroform in your hand? :grin:
TG used to be funny but it's been a bit boring. I agree it needs to change format to keep fresh.
The same could be said for your quips Stealth. :angry015::star: :star: :star:
can't wait glad it's back :smiley:

And I was right! Why waste so much time on the small piece of sh*t, time I wont get back. Please top gear just stick to cars, nice cars.. :fighting:

Obviously my opinion. Dur! :stupid:

Well, in spite of liking the three amigos I thought this latest TG was nothing new and consequently it was very boring. The P45 feature was waaay too long too. I'll only bother to watch the future episodes if there is nothing else on TV.
:indifferent: :indifferent: :indifferent:
It makes me laugh, people still watch Top Gear expecting to see 1hr of car reviews & Road tests :grin:
Top Gear is an entertainment programme these days, three guys having a laugh, messing about and attempting to disprove "Global Warming" theories.
I dont take it too seriously, just sit back and enjoy.
If you want wall to wall road tests, watch 5th gear :stupid:
Surely people should know what to expect by now. . .
I thought I read it somewhere before christmas... seems it's out soon in Feb:
http://www.gtspirit.com/2012/12/04/top-gear-christmas-special-in-february-2013/
Better be an hour long, otherwise it's just a normal episode.
ONly 6 episodes this season too... is TG on the way out?

Yes May mentioned it when him Clarkson were on Graham Norton in Dec. It will be on in Feb :happy2:
My thoughts on this are if you don't like it turn the damn thing off. :fighting2:
It has run for a fair few series now in this format and it's perceived as working in their eyes so why would they change it.
I enjoyed it and that may be because I have low expectations perhaps others should re-asses theirs.
Hopefully they've saved some of the better stuff for later in the series.
If you want to watch real car tv then the interweb is where you need to look, not mainstream bbcsnooze.
Take a look at the motortrend stuff, just fantastic:

You might want to read what you have quoted again. :wink:
LFA...... :love: :love: :love:
.
Yep, yesterday's episode was the best yet, IMO. Some great performance cars, banter, and Mick Fleetwood in the seat for a lap.
The LFA is possibly the best sounding car ever made (IMO)
Top gear always makes me chuckle.
The Aston Martin was absolutely stunning.
Wheels could have been better, I fell in love with the colour a tiny bit though.

The colour was immense!
Where's Oli's verdict this week then? :popcornsoda:
.
This series is proving to be the best yet in my opinion.
Personally i get a bit bored with the stuff like the rugby as it went on for a bit too long but overall it was great.
I don't understand how on earth they got away with wrecking the pitch's hallowed turf!
Come on lads, you MUST know what to expect now. . . surely?? :confused:

Nah, we still need the generic "I thought Top Gear was sh*te/great last night" posts :indifferent:
Because it's becoming as tedious as the standard R32 vs Edition 30 thread. There is no answer. Some people like it, some people don't. Some episodes are good, some aren't. Get over it.
I watch top gear in the hope that one day I might actually see a review of a car I would want to buy.

What do you think is best red sauce or brown?

Big breasts or small breasts? :evilgrin:
For what it's worth, I like some parts of TG and not other parts of TG. A TG review by JC in 2005 of the Mk5 GTI is what made me arrange a test drive the following day and the rest is history!
They mentioned the Mk7 in last night's prog and reviewed some hatchbacks last week.
Robin , I remember the TG review of the Mk5 , its what made me want one as well , as well as the reviews in EVO , it took me 5 years to get one after that but I got there in the end!
Pretty good tonight I thought, up there with my two favourite adventures botswana and 4x4's in south america.
Genuinely impressed with what they got for £1500!!
1500 for that Impreza, what a great winter motor! Christ, spend 500 quid plus on winter tyres!
I think tonight's episode was meant to be the Xmas special, could be wrong.
