Jim 2 Posted May 7, 2006 Genius.. though I must say they seem to get more and more wreckless with each passing series! Just so many laugh out loud moments this week.. best show on TV bar none! Looks like they have another great challenge coming up though this series.. looks like they have to 'make' their own aquatic cars.. should be bloody excellent!

bcstudent 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Are you kidding me? Entertaining, sure...over-scripted, hell yes. For me Top Gear peaked a few years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bojmobile 0 Posted May 7, 2006 I liked it when that Swedish Kegosomething was bent by the Stig! (Who is he BTW?) no-one knows! previous one was Perry McCarthy - ex F1 driver. Dunno who the new one is - obviously has F1 experience judging by how quick he went round the track in the Renault F1 - I used to think Johhny Herbert - but I dunno now he's involved in F1 again.

bcstudent 0 Posted May 7, 2006 ahhhh, who cares if it's scripted, it's still funny as hell... :lol: I care. Frankly. Don't get me wrong, I'll still be watching it every week but it's just heading the wrong way as far as I'm concerned. I have a bit of a problem with Hammond these days too on account of his moronic column in the Motorcycle News. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must admit - I love it but I lost respect for Hammond after that crappy show he did on ITV! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

samm_cvr6 0 Posted May 7, 2006 HAHAHA, That has to be one of the funniest top gears I've ever seen, usually the tests they do are a bit boring, but the espace project was funny. Clarksons comments about raising petrol prices so they can let foreigners out of jail so they can stab you was hilarious. The Konnisegg looks crazy too. Really looking forward to seeing how quick the bugatti and 997 911 Turbo go round the track...... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Bloody fantastic. I even started a thread to remind people and then sodding forgot it was on! When is it repeated on a different BBC channel? Muppet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NTL have it on pick of the week so you can watch it whenever, dunno if sky do something similar? (I'm guessing you don't get cable over there) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebloggsVR69 0 Posted May 7, 2006 BBC2 tomorrow night, isnt it? 7pm IIRC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scarlett 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Espace home made convertible in a car wash..... bloody classic...... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted May 7, 2006 It'll be available for download on the Bit Torrent network tomorrow for sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Yeah i'm thinking Bit Torrent's probably the easiest way. Out tomorrow night and Sky plus has decided it hates me at the moment and won't pigging record anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trig 0 Posted May 8, 2006 Great show, the convertable espace stuff was great. And the Stig crashing the Koenigegiegeg! I do partly agree with the scripting stuff, it is overly theatrical at times but still damn funny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted May 8, 2006 That Koenigsegg was a monster.. I bet driving one of those is just sheer terror! And I wonder if Bugatti do ever let them take a Veyron round their test track.. considering they've had virtually every other supercar do that track i'd be surprised if they don't eventually let them!

ardandy 0 Posted May 8, 2006 I dont think setting fire to the car wash is scripted! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcstudent 0 Posted May 8, 2006 Jeez, you really believed that was genuine?! As if the camera man would be hanging around inside a burning car wash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
