MasterCard add:

A 2nd hand transit van...5k, modding it in to a hover craft...6k, having a laugh on a Sunday evening...priceless :happy2:

Even though a lot of the hover van part was a setup, I enjoyed this episode :grin:

Last nights was funny with the hover van ...made me chuckle

sent using my own fingers

i was in stitches with that van lol

Made me laugh but at least 90% of it was set up.

So what if it was?

It's supposed to be Top Gear not Benny Hill. Shame because they used to be able to pull it off without it being totally obvious, the American road trip one was brilliant, dead funny and left you really wondering if it was real or not.

As said previously I think people are just getting a bit sick of what used to be a great car based entertainment show slowly turning into nothing short of a farce.

I caught up on TG last night and watched the last 2/3 episodes and they were hilarious. Belly laughter at the hovervan.

The off-road caravanning was funny this week, if a little predictable and the Singer... well, I could've happily watched a whole hour of that!

Tut tut May... You should know that saying that something "accelerates at 1 meter per second", doesnt make sense.

Nearly all of that segment was filmed in Wiltshire, too, not bloody Somerset!
