No thread in the TG forum so thought I'd put it here to remind people.

the dash full of gauges and the xj220 alloys on the transit.. ffs, if i can spot that, very hard to believe hammond was surprised?!

its the only thing bringing down the show..

Thread moved to the Top Gear forum.

It was a bit of a laugh, not the best though.

despite all the naysayers i'm still finding something to enjoy in it each week. who cares if its scripted?

new stig is really getting hyped..
.beckers lap would have been way up there had it been dry and his drive on the rally stage shows what he's capable of.

Only started to watch and it’s using a segment from the Ashes special off Top Gear Australia, I’m sure there’s more to come.

Annoying to look forward to it and realize most/all of it has been on already.

the stig driving the Proton s2000 was our own Niall Mcshea he drove for Mellors on the IRC on a few events last year,sure a blind man would know it was a rally man driving the rally car,and sure there was a high chance that Mellors would have put one of there own drivers in the car.and Mcshea been a former PWRC champion is well capable in a rally car,but his was a one off drive.

The dynamics of the SIARPC is all messed up, impossible to judge the times against the established ones.
