Top Gear - 06 December, 2009

cjmcork

already looking better than last week..............saw them on Thursday night - have a new respect for the stunt drivers & Stig, etc....

cjmcork

wow, look at the bendy bus go - this is great consumer advice, I KNEW they could go faster than they do around town!

Hogzy

Feck sake this is the exact same as the camper van race, the bus race and the truck race. Im sick of them racing these big vehicles... ITS THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER

Top gear has gone to the dogs!
Mind you its the opening scene so ill watch it through, as i always do:rolleyes:

padraig_f

Hammond's segments are always completely moronic.

cjmcork

if you don't watch it, you'll be worried that you'll miss something...........that said, I watched some of the earlier season stuff on Dave today and it's not a patch on the show it used to be...........

cjmcork

THAT was funny!

jhegarty

Can't imagine where they got the idea.

I knew it looked familiar!

the traffic would be much better in the morning if parents drove their precious little brats to school the way he's testing the S&M X5

Hogzy

That range rover screen, i dont think i would EVER get tired of playing with that camera!!! Its just designed for men, shame it will be driven by girls

cjmcork

btw, there's a Christmas special - the boyos in South America...........it's in the vein of Botswana

amacachi

The

Ross Kemp

bits, brilliant.

EDIT: The

slight "ah" from him as the car hit the water.

cjmcork

if he ends up in the same watery grave as black Stig, I'll be very unhappy!

LOL just LOL

Liked the

Ross Kemp gag

, and the amazing Range Rover. Pure luxury.

phasers

Ross Kemp - wtf?

Anyway I was bored today, not enough James and it was just like watching a re run on Dave! Nothing really original (although that Land Rover was class)

Mike Litoris

Hehe I thought tonoghts episode was great. The whole Twingo section was hilarious and informative!:D

Only let down was Guy Ritchie. Like his films but he's about as exciting as Pat kenny.

Missed it :mad: Think I sent the sky box to record it though

ScrubsfanChris

The Overfinch Land Rover was mentioned at Top Gear Live in the cool wall segment but I didn't know that it cost £130,000 :eek:

itarumaa

Good episode all the way, some (slighty) new ideas, lot of old stuff recycled but in the good, funny way.

The Black Oil

Not too bad. The Renault/Mr. Needham piece was OK, but not as good as the Fiesta one which is probably impossible to top. I thought the bit in the tunnels was going to be longer. Obviously they were taking the mick, but I thought it was a little pointless when he started to knock off a few bumpers, etc. Quite a few segments now just seem to be repeats with different cars or locations and the news was fairly woeful as usual.

GavRedKing

I thought that the airport bit was absolutley useless, did anyone else notice when they drivers for the other vehicles came up, the date on the passports issued was in March 09, I mean if they havent used that segiment in over 9 months why use it now, I remember hearing about it on the website but it was really just to fill a gap IMO. They are seriously running low on ideas and originality at the moment.

All in all though it was an average episode with the odd laugh and gag, I would have given it 6.5 out 10.

CharlieCroker

anyone know when this episode is repeated? Stupid NTL never recorded it

Wednesday 7 pm I think.

The screen of the Land Rover was class, passage watching a DVD and driver can only see the SatNav on the same screen and it had 5 outside cameras.

The Don

Same old ideas in this episode but good to watch nonetheless. The Land rover was class (loved that screen) and there were some laughs.

Slighty wrong threa mate! But there was a Veyron in Ireland for the duration of the show. I saw it near Foxrock. Its Grey. I have a feeling it was suppose to be in the show but didn't make it at the last minute. Its now safety away from Revenue in England.

Old tech to be honest!

Mr.Boots

Cant believe they killed the gorgeous Twingo!!!!!!!!!

Also....the touring car driver fliped the "vans" on purpose...it looked silly.

6/10
