Did he mention Britain?
Yes, he did.
I got three points for overtaking on chevrons.
Yes, he did.
Fair enough 🙂 I couldn't remember, hence the question.
Man, I hate Prescott but, he is making Clarkson look a cock (and the audience) - I now have a certain feeling of ambivolance towards him. ;o)
Prescott is a ****

Probably because he's getting paid for it.
yeah I do feel a bit sorry for him
Bits of him are quite far West too.
I wouldn't quite say that Prescott is making Clarkson look like a cock. He is after all skilled in spin, so I personally wouldn't trust much of what he says anyway. Clarkson is being his usual arrogant self. Methinks that makes two such protagonists.
Ok losers...how many times has this set of has-heens revisited the past FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER other that for self publicity. I mean, F40? FFS
Cashing on on Senna again? Hmmm is there anything of the barrel left?
OMG someone In the audience (oddly enough not one of the hotties in the front row) has something to say!!!!!!
🙄
About the only good part of this episode is the Moon Buggy bit. The 959/F40 feature was just to let Hammond rag them up and down for no real reason. The Cool Wall was the same old shite as usual, most of this series has been dull and predictable.
Hope the new series in Summer is better.
Cashing on on Senna again?
What you on about - it was a heads up for a documentary
Exactly.
Only 4 months to wait until the next series. Excellent
Surprisingly, if he'd done that 'race' right, from Corrachadh Mòr to Lowestoft Ness it would be 554 miles - less than 100 miles more than the route he took. He'd have had to average over 72mph though.....
Oh well that last of this series of "Last of the summer wine", oops sorry top Gear
I hear they're changing the base product next series. Same format, different mode of transport. They'll still have The Stig but dressed in full-face helmet and body armour. They'll be ragging carbon fibre finery around a XC course, putting a star on a reasonable priced hardtail, extracting the urine from singlespeed riders and following Hanibal through the Alps on full-sussers. Wonder what the viewing figures will be like... 😕 😆

Shame, I'll miss seeing Cleggy driving an old tin bath down the hill gurning at the camera and saying something homophobic, misogynist or racist.
Can't wait for the Summer series!
They were just rude about the Yaris Verso! Unless anything unplanned happens I am not waiting to die. It does, however, carry bikes very well and is brilliant for nipping to the shops with the baby and pram in the back. Grrrr, BBC madness. They have gone too far this time. Can I have my licence fee back please?
After watching Stewart Lee my opinion of Top Gear is more amusing now 😀
And yes I did download it illegaly.

Not sure how they pick the cars to comment on; maybe the point is that those that have one aren't shy about saying their car isn't the most important thing in their life. BTW, I've just ordered a Roomster....

POSTED 1 HOUR AGO # REPORT-POST
But were there solid or broken lines surrounding them? Can't say I noticed the lines on the TG piece though (although the thought crossed my mind about whether it was legal or not).
I actually liked the bit about the 959 and the F40
I'm always up for a bit of nostalgia especially where cars are concerned. Sure it was just an excuse for Hammond to rag some cars around, but it just made me wish I had his job
I know the top gear boys are homophobic, misogynist, racist buffoons but its still quite amusing, and that does not mean I subscribe to their point of view
Stewart Lee is not funny, but +1 wtf, it did make watching top gear a bit funnier
Get a grip people -TG is exactly what it is supposed to be - an alternative to watching dancing on ice or any other cack on a Sunday night! Good series? No, not particularly - entertaining for an hour? -yes I think so. And who gives a flinkin' blip about where he started from, the XJ was good and they would have rigged the film if he'd arrived an hour later anyway! Accept it for the light entertainment that it is or don't watch!
Love cars, hate reactionary old men.
You turn into what you hate.
They were just rude about the Yaris Verso!
I didn't understand that bit, how come its only just made it to the Cool Wall when Toyota stopped making it 3 or 4 years ago. Maybe they've made a mistake and thought it was the Verso S that was launched a few weeks ago 🙄

I must have watched a different show to you. Prescott came across like a total nob. It makes me wonder who votes for utter scumbags like that. Oh, hang on...

Prescott [s]was [/s] is an arse
WTF > I got wind of Stewart Lee's 'If You Prefer A Milder Comedian...' from a previous thread on Top Gear. The finest piece of stand up I have ever seen.
I love it how people are complaining about them driving old cars..... it is a car show....
I liked last nights episode.
Prescott was a bit hard done by on the lap, never seen that much standing water on the track before.
Quite like James May (and cars) but the other two are just beyond irritating. Ultimate middle aged middle of the road 'blokey' tossers.
Quite like Clarkson being beaten by Prescott. Prescott knew he was going to be abused and still came on. Prescott is an old school politician and can handle hecklers and Clarkson with no effort. I don't think our Jeremy was to chuffed to be overshadowed by him.
Loved the bit on the Moon buggy - even if May tried very hard to crash it!
It makes me ROFLMAO when people comment on these threads that 'you don't have to watch it' in the same way 'you don't have to read the thread'.
Tits
Last night was worth it alone to see an F40 and 959 together - it felt like I was 12 years old again!
Quite like Clarkson being beaten by Prescott
You must have been watching a different intgerview to me. Prescott only got one smart quip in, and then deftly sidestepped all the other points, especially 'if making the M4 narrower improves traffic flow, why widen the M25?' to which he had no answer!
The bit with Prescott was great. Good to see a proper argument on there rather than the usual brown nosing of "celebrities".
The M4 bus lane made sense, removing it just means a shorter 3 lane queue rather than a longer 2 lane queue.

Its passed its best. I actually prefer watching Fifth Gear now. Sick of seeing cars drag race or go round a huge airfield.
Middle aged fat men and the cars they like (with the odd real petrolheads car thrown in) just isn't fun anymore.
Oh and the 959/F40- how is a drag race between them relevant?
Prescott was a bit hard done by on the lap,
He was driving an auto though so he was always going to be slower than most/all by some margin.
What Hora said..

To me the 959 looked really dated. The F40 certainly looked old, but in a good way.

I thought they said that but then I dismissed it and assumed I had misheard.
