In fairness, Top Gear has never really been offensive, other than to anyone's sense of humour.
Ooops! bad example I missed that.
Clearly been lowered too, and non standard wheels.
I've never been aware of a pukka GTI with 2 headlights as standard, the "Driver" non-GTI version also had 4, I'm reverting to 'modded to be as such', probably by sticking a 'GTI' badge on a normal one!
just watching from the start, the SRi wasn't even the quick one, that was the GSi.
just like the SR was the one down from the GTE
Saw the last 5 mins of it just before 8pm tonight while waiting for something good to come on.
After seeing this thread last night I saw the split in opinion coming a mile off.
Haven't read all the posts but have to say after watching that 5 mins, Clarkson & Co are just a bunch of dicks getting paid loads of money (no, I don't know their salaries) to play around like kids...annoying and won't watch again.
Those three playing around like kids and annoying you, probably paid to make the less popular program you were waiting to watch.
Hope that helps ease your pain 😉
He doesn't say he's in pain.
Star in a reasonably priced car next week is Michael Gove, being chased by angry school teachers in overley priced cars as usually feature on TG.
Episode 2 starting soon, and soon after a torrent of abuse about the show.
Yup just going to walk the dog then prepare for the people that hate Top Gear to watch it again so they can moan about it.
100!

Yep I'm settling in now with my note pad and pencil
I could watch something else, but don't want to miss out on being annoyed.
Hahaha!
Shhh! Must concentrate.
I thought it had already been on today, luchtime BBC2?
😀
I want one of those.......
Yup that's what i was going to type plus be on Lake Como with it.
The Bastards.
Oohhh, they're having a race!
That's original.
Must be a repeat though, Hammond looks young - something to do with his hair?
that is the most awesome vehicle i have ever seen . . . .
He said vagina!
And made a joke about his knob!!!
They really are worth the licence fee on their own, aren't they?
FFS RS, stop watching it or stop bitching, it's a simple choice!!
Also Top Gear makes the BBC more in selling to other countries and merchandise than it costs to make, so yes it is worth the licence fee as it helps to fund other BBC stuff like Radio 6 Music and other stuff which you may or may-not like!!
Am I not allowed to comment?
In work at the mo, looking after a chap with severe learning difficulties.
It's his favourite prog after Power Rangers and Tracy Beaker.
Am I not allowed to comment?
Comment if you must, but your comments are nearly as predictable as a top gear race! I presume your meant to be working so go and do something useful instead of bitching on here!
Surely you of all people should be able to recognise the joy top gear brings to those of a limited intellect 🙄
The only thing more predictable than an episode of Top Gear
Blimey if I found out any my staff had been posting on forums whilst looking after a patient they'd have a bent lug.
He's dozing on the sofa.
I've cleaned the house, cooked his supper, administered his meds and done all the paperwork.
I'm sat down having a brew before I get cracking again.
If that's ok with you?
And he's not a patient, he's not ill 😀
am liking that mclaren p1 a lot 🙂
RS seems to be getting pretty good value from the show tbh
So how much did that pirelli line earn him then after last year's issues?
I like cars.
I just wish there was a decent motoring programme on regularly.
Hahaha I read that as Breathing Difficulties. 😳
Sorry.
That P1 is some piece of engineering.
I saw a P1 on the M3 today. Very pretty.
Care work - like war (short periods of excitement etc) but with less blood. 😀
Same amount of excrement though, I'd imagine.
I just wish there was a decent motoring programme on regularly.
Ok, so 6, 1 hour episodes, that's 360 minutes. I'll give you 6 stars in a...... which is about 60 minutes, so what do you do in your motoring programme for 300 minutes?
The P1 is amazing. I'm too old for posters but this might just make me change my mind
I NEED that quad bike!
AS per usual well filmed and edited,with some funny parts.
Would it be better less scripted. Ie if Hammond didn't know clarkson was going to turn up and that quad was a jetski
Just hope the 300-odd laptop batteries didn't come from Solarstorm 😆

Yeah be better if it was genuine.
Still enjoyed tonights episode much better.
Well despite the haters I thought that was rather good. Not too much purile humour, not too much contrived bollocks.
The P1 article was well done and a decent commentary. Plus that car looks like a bit of a handful. I don't think I'd have the balls to drift an 800k+ car in the wet!

Yup! Watching that thing drifting in the wet was giving me that sphincter tightening sensation, and I was only watching it!
I really, [i]really[/i] like the Alfa 4C, that is sex on a stick. Gorgeous.
And the quad, shit-loads of fun.
I do like the fact that they had to shoot the whole thing all over again, the Hamster couldn't have been terribly surprised, could he... 😉
JC certainly went quiet when the back end kicked out. Not sure who that was drifting it but I bet that was great fun pushing it to that limit.
Lot of style to the P1 review but not enough content for my liking. Would it have been better if it was tested in the dry? And why use Spa to test it - dull.
REALLY wanted that to be a stand out review but it wasn't. Probably sullied by my current opinion of Clarkson.
On a lighter note, I enjoyed the Alfa-Como piece having stayed in the hills off Como a few years back and driven around in a red Alfa Romeo*
The roads around the lake are tricky - very tight with little margin for error in most places and typically confident driving from every Italian going in the opposite direction.
*Mito 8)
Being serious for a while, the Alfa bit (sans race) and the McLaren bit were ok, but as above, not in depth enough.
Half an hour on each would have been a much better programme, surely?
I may have mentioned it elsewhere, but I don't think Clarkson is fit to be on the telly, so replace him and Hammond with Suzi Perry, VBH, or any one of the many decent motoring journos in the UK.
May is ok. I used to like his Telegraph pieces and he's a good journo when he keeps his political opnions to himself.
The current three just remind me of a bad episode of Last Of The Summer Wine - they must alienate as many people as they appeal to?
The only people I know who watch TG regularly are dads with small boys - fine, but can we have an intelligent motoring programme for adults?
The Afghanistan piece was a bit odd - no idea what it was supposed to achieve?
Too short to provide any decent insight, it just came across as propoganda.
A proper documentary showing the steps taken to provide decent, safe vehicles for the military would have be interesting and insightful.
This was too short to be either.
Top Gear isn't a car review programme anymore it's a light entertainment show that has 3 blokes pissing around in expensive toys.
