Silence on the Motors Forum: Top Gear

L-M

Did they really just drive that new Fiesta through that dept of water lol?

.Longshanks.

The fiesta test was absolutely brilliant entertainment but a crap car test. Loved it and couldn't stop grinning :D:D:D

AugustusMaximus

I was kinda shocked. Surely it would have fecked up the electrics.

Seemed to give it a great review.

L-M

Aye car looks well. That supermarket scene only made me want to go driving:P

what was the song palying when they were driving through the shopping centre?

Dartz

I can't watch it...

I can't receive BBC2 here. Television reception around Clonsilla has been ****e ever since something flooded way back in August. I have to wait until it shows up online.

Ahh c'mon now, its hard for them to keep coming up with ideas. I thought the ending was brilliant, classic top gear antics! I would kill to have their job..

didn't it fade into the music from the old hamlot cigar ads?

I think Jezza not being able to talk as much/loudly had an effect, Richard just can't do Stig intros like he can!

Anyone else feel like buying a Catherham after watching it? Looks a bit more civilised than the Atom

As good as the shopping centre sequence was I think I'd still have the 'vette!

Aye that yoke looked properly quick. Just watching it looked like it had too much power to be controlled.

Ooops... where's the delete button?

cracking video!!

Thought it was poor again tonight, thats 3 weeks in a row & TG live was rubbish as well.

Brabus

Me Mam was in the capital for the weekend, in the hotel they told her she just missed Clarkson who was there by a few minutes.:(
Damn could have his autograph by now.

Though she did have breakfast with George Hook!!!;):D

Holsten

I thought it was pretty crap alright, quite boring... messing about with ****ty Ladas.. like wtf?!

The last part of the show with the Fiesta was good though.

Brabus

And the fact that Clarkson had to croak his way thro, tho his voice seem to by miracle improve dramatically at the end.

Most of the stuff that happens outside the studio is actually pre recorded before the studio parts are filmed.

Thanks man it was wreckin my head

Karoma

Moved from Motors with redirect.

Berty

Awful Top Gear. I would have liked to see a race, something like the truck task. The bus task last week was not very good.

Hopefully next week will be better.

Plug

I thought last weeks was crap, this weeks was good though. Communism cars were funny.

phasers

I loved the episode! Any time Jeremy and James do something just the two of them I think it's hilarious, and I actually watched the celebrity interview this weeek without sighing and rolling my eyes. I love Boris

Mitch Connor

The Boris interview was good, in comparison to other interviews. Loved when he mentioned the electric car "1p a mile jeremy, 1p a mile!" - "Where does the electricity come for?" - "....From the plug Jeremy"

And: "Perhaps, with the Ferrari 430, that is the greenest way to drive it"

Some great replies in that interview.

Venom

Really enjoyed the show tonight. The commie cars was different, Boris was as awesome as always and the Focus road test just epic

2qk4u

Quality as usual...still smiling everytime I think of the fiesta in the sea and the shopping centre was cool...

Busi_Girl08

Last night was brilliant!!

Im sure Hamster and James were waiting for ages to get Jezza down a peg, lol.

James' eye looked pretty nasty

That's all 3 of them now who won "Wierd Crush of the Year"

I wonder who will win best and worst hair, Hamster could go either way:pac:

The Commy cars, ROFL, the one that looked like "a motorbike drove into a cow" was ridiculous!!!

JohnGalt

Didn't think it was a terrible episode, but I didn't like the guest or that Veritas car, the caterham was brilliant though, faster than the Veyron! That Veritas car is one of the worst I have seen on top gear, vomit central

ninty9er

I'd have preferred to see something like a Clio 172 and Polo GTI pitted against the Fiesta 1.6.

cabrwab

I Missed the first few minutes, unfortunately got held up dropping the brother to drumcondra. So missed the start. Enjoyed the show was laughing when jeremy ran james off the hill.

The fiesta test was excellent, can't believe he put the car into that much water, wonder did he do damage!

Plug

Is it green?
YES

Manic Moran

I wouldn't like to be the one cleaning up the skid marks from that shopping centre

According to a poster on Finalgear, they never got the skid marks off. (He was shopping there a while back, and was wondering how the skid marks got there. Now he knows!)

The Wiki page on Royal Marines.


Now, I wonder if I can use that review to argue for the installation of cupholders in my HMMWV, to hold my hand grenades in?

NTM

mike65

Some harsh views here, the old Commie cars feature was great pure Jalopy (and Old Car)
territory.

The finale was fun, does Jezza have the home number of the Minister for Defence?

loyatemu

the communist cars feature was brilliant - one of the funniest things they've done in ages. Clarkson hitting the Lada with a lump hammer, driving along with the door open, May losing the button inside the dashboard - all very funny.

The 2 part races are getting a bit boring tbh - I prefer to see them mixing it up a bit...

If one isn't impressed with a Ford Fiesta taking part in a beach landing with Marines then I really feel pity for you.

but it makes you look like a nerd. nobody likes nerds or people who assemble their own cars. especially not chicks. even if you install the biggest pussy magnet you can buy on ebay it still won't cancel out the negative nerd vibes the car gives off

(Just my ill-informed opinion BTW but it looked wrong to me.)
Pretty much the whole bonnet was under water as he drove it off the landing craft.

The comme cars where hilarious. I was watching it in my friends house and his girlfriend is from Slovakia. She had loads of great stories about them cars.

towel401

apparently alot of the Trabbies with 2-stroke engines were abandoned when the wall came down and everyone went to west germany to buy second hand cars
