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

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

    Seemed to give it a great review.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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 :D

    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.
