I didn’t know that Chris Hoy was competing in Le Mans!

Neither did I, or that he likes slightly modified Audi’s!

I’m not convinced Hoy should be considered legit for siarfc? Fine line but surely he is a racing driver who used to ride bikes now? Small miracle if his time ever gets beaten by another ‘star’.

Back in January I had my VW caddy up at Falkland performance in Glenrothes for a remap and rolling road session but I had to wait my turn as they had an RS6 in for a stage 1 tune, it gave 675bhp and over 900nm of torque on the rolling road, the sound it made on full gas made my tinkle fizz and for a large estate car it launched up the industrial estate road like a jet from an aircraft carrier catapult.

Humph….I bet it doesn’t get 65mpg/750 miles out of a tank of fuel though 😉

Probably not far off what you get from a C63 AMG – about 17/gallon on a good day. Then there’s the £1000 to replace a set of tyres, three sets during the two year lease I bloke I was talking to got.

Be interesting to see how he compares to Harris, Sabine or some other pro racers though, hopefully they will have a separate racers wall like they had the F1 one on old TG

No Top Gear. NO TOP GEAR!

BLOODY GOLF! WT actual F?

To quote Mark Twain…

“Golf is a good wa*k spoiled.”

Dez Lynam’s aged.

HtS +1 🙁

Two really disappointed kids here (aged 20 and 23) sat down to watch the recordings of robot wars and top gear.

Think I’m going to put an official complaint in!

Disappointed. If I’d known, I would have gone out for a bike ride 🙁

Just got back from an absolutely wonderful weekend – involving tent, two swimming pools, bike, beautiful weather and a 4 yr old daughter loving all of the above. Thought that TopGear would round off the weekend beautifully. SOOOOOO peed off to switch on and find Golf. Effing golf! FFS – sure ruin a walk if you like, but why oh why etc – where’s points of view these days when you need to rant?

Am I the only one to have the Hitler video meme running through my head with this as the dialogue?

hmmm..last day of one of the best events on the sporting calender

or watching nerds play with robots/top gear

Glad you guys don’t plan the TV schedules

last day of one of the best events on the sporting golf calender

I have a golf course at the end of my garden. The action I see there is not enough to keep my attention, despite the silly trousers.

Why not hide it on BBC4 or Sky to be found by those who really want to watch it?

Hurray for Garcia. 1st major and on what would have been Seve’s birthday ?

hmmm..last day of one of the best events on the sporting calender

I love watching sport, but golf?

GREEN – BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE – GREEN

At least Jezza used to warn you the week previously by slagging off the golf. 🙂

Same here, sat down to watch TG and no recording, had to watch an episode of TGT instead that we’re still working our way through.

It was the one with the Landrovers, it was a bag of toss. Much prefer the new Top Gear stuff over the Clarkson et al. Really badly staged ‘calamities’ and crap jokes you can see coming a mile off

Gutted – just sat down to watch top gear after a long Monday at work to find it wasn’t on yesterday – golf instead. What the actual ****, who even watches golf? Grown men hitting a tiny ball as far away as they can, then trying to find it and knock it down a hole that’s probably full of manky water.

Bit meh this week.

Merc was suitably lairy, Cuba was OK, but the ‘heavy machinery lolz’ just aren’t. Bit weak.

Still nicely filmed, the team work well together and it is genuinely better than The Grand Tour.

It’s found its feet now, after the “trying too hard” Chris Evans era.

Ross Noble seems to be doing well.

A 5.0 litre V8, putting out 170bhp.

My Puma 1.7 put out 130! Christ, VAG do a 1.4 that puts out 180bhp!
Porsche or Merc? Merc, thanks, but NOT in that green!

A 5.0 litre V8, putting out 170bhp.

Still in the era where the US government had clamped down on muscle cars post early 70’s. Look at the power in the 60’s V8s from US and it was a different story. As it is now, with the extremes offering over 700bhp from a V8

No one posting about the final episode?!

That SsangYacht is awesome! 🙂

Jamiro-pie

Yep, he looks like a fat old knacker. Could easily be Russell Crowe if you squint.

Not the best end to the series… TOO MUCH EDDIE 👿

1st time I’ve watched since producer gate, and the last. What a crock of shite.

1st time I’ve watched since producer gate, and the last. What a crock of shite.

Why?

Liked it all tonight. Even the star in a car segments.

Thought it was a brilliant episode. The Ssang Yacht was genius and that Russian SUV thing was mental.

Eddie is shit.

The rest was fun!

A shame there was no mention of Toby Smith, though.

The ssangyacht was awesome

Chris Harris went full Clarkson reviewing the Cayman – wah wah wah, it’s a 4 pot, emissions are all stupid etc.

Jay Kay still an absolute tool despite be supposedly sober these days (I have my doubt)

But that’s only two minor blips in an otherwise good show at the end of a good series.

Torpoodo worth the price of admission alone. 🙂

Yup the torpoodo caused much tittering in my house. Really enjoyed it (other then EJ and Bernie)

Really enjoyed it (other then EJ and Bernie)

Especially as he was interviewed (better) on C4 F1 last weekend.

Ssangyacht can do one – just show me CARS!!! That eight-wheel tractor thing can do one too.

That Russian Shamen 8-wheeler? Bring on the lottery win! More practical than a restored Alvis Stalwart, and you could kip in the back with a decent mattress.
Great for hoiking out sad people stuck in the mud at festivals and the beach at Brean!

Not found the ffwd button on the remote, then? 😉

Torpoodo worth the price of admission alone.

Attacking the car with disc cutters was a very good start! That thing is ugly!
