I’m enjoying this one.

7.8/10.

Even the Rory Reid/celeb bit was good.

It’s a great series so far, lets hope they can continue this into the future.

It got better and better tonight. I’m no TG fan boi – that was just good telly.

That was the best SIARFC segment of this series; Tinie Tempah was a great guest, but looked mighty p***sed off with his time 😆

Aside from that, the rest of the show never quite sustained the excitement levels generated by the opening Bugatti segment, but it was still very entertaining.

Does anyone else think they’re following this thread and adjusting the content of the show each time? It feels like it 😆

Has it been mentioned that Colin Furze is busy building a 600cc 100bhp three-wheel dodgem for the Stig to drive?

Something I’d noticed on last weeks show when MLB was testing that Aston Martin – whilst I have no love for Clarkson, when he says “this might be the best car that <insert car maker name here> have ever made” then there’s a fair chance he’s tried most of them and has that experience to state that. MLB? Nah, how can he make that assertion?

But generally all good fun and entertaining. Exactly what TGT isn’t (apart form the first episode with the Porsche, laFerrari and McLaren).

Pretty sure Chris Harris rides a mtb, I recall a video with him having a bike in the back of a Ferrari, so you could be right! Was another decent one for me last night.

Nah, how can he make that assertion?

He’s a multi-millionaire petrol-head. Whilst I reckon he won’t have driven as many different cars as a moto-journo like Clarkson, he’ll probably have driven a lot more than a regular Joe*

I imagine the comments in the main are pretty universal across many different fora/forums/whatever way they get their feedback. This is a pretty broad cross section of the middle class male so pretty core audience for TG I’d imagine. I daresay the Pistonheads Topgear is Back thread looks very similar in tone. Not that I can be bothered to look as it’s often full of objectionable car snobs.

nuts 🙂

Chris Hoy is the guest this week apparently. It will be interesting to see what his time is considering his “hobby”.

Harris rides an Orange.

Watched the current one last night it was great fun again. Chris Harris was very good in the Bugatti bit he needs to transfer that style to the studio.

There’s a feature on King of The Hammers on this weeks show apparently with Rob Butler and Jim Marsden coaching the Top Gear Presenters George Lewis and Rory Reid in a head to head off-Road Race, should be a good laugh, wonder what ultra 4 toys they’ll be let loose in! 😀

if you fed Colin Furze amphetamines…would anyone notice?

I like the YouTube comments:

Oh man…that Ford GT! All that for just $400k. 😀 Bite my hand off.

Great episode tonight and Chris Hoy has properly smashed the Star in the Car time! Impressive stuff.

I just watched my first 2 mins of this series – hate to say without Clarkson but it seemed a bit lifeless and cringey. Tarbet than just cringey with.

Great episode again.

Loved it again tonight, those off-roaders are nuts!! And the ford gt is gorgeous…

Brilliant episode, that one! 😆

Not really enthused with it either.

Chris and Rory – for all their knowledge, skill and enthusiasm – have no charisma in the studio. The scripting seems even more staged than before. And as for including EJ … not for me.

Enjoyed the Hammers piece – probably helped by messing around with a Traxxas Summit with monkey jnr!

All in all it’s fun in parts but not very likeable.

That was fun.

Eddie Jordan is terrible, however. Utterly terrible.

Also, I NEED one of those trucks.

That was the first episode of TG (old and new) and TGT that I have watched all of. No ffwd through siarpc either.

Just shows there isn’t a problem that can’t be solved by removing Chris Evans.

I hope you will excuse me if I ignore any opinion formed on watching just 2 minutes

just watched my first 2 mins of this series

Gave it a fair chance then? I’ve only seen 120 seconds of The Godfather. It was shit.

Enjoyed tonight’s episode. That off road thing looked nuts.

Just shows there isn’t a problem that can’t be solved by removing Chris Evans.

😆
That Ford GT! Beautiful car, and I love the sound.

2 good episodes in a row. Blimey.

… without Clarkson but it seemed a bit lifeless and cringey

Irony!

Obviously all the car segments are great, and individually the presenters are ok, I’m not including EJ in that…but it still feels a bit forced when they’re all together.

Best show yet! I quite enjoyed the EJ piss take, they treated him like an annoying little brother!
Chris Harris is emerging as my favourite presenter closely followed by Le Blanc.

I think the presenting is poor. The conversation rarely flows and there are so many silences and awkward gaps. It’s painful.

Really enjoyed last nights show. I’ve watched the King of Hammers stuff for the past few years so would good to see a TV show cover it. Harris is ace, as is Joey and I’m warming to Rory. The electric drift car where they’re all laughing had me properly lol’ing

I agree that some of the dialogue is tricky (and Eddie J is awful) and I still watch some bits on fast forward but the thing that’s new, and that I really like, is that they do seem to be genuinely having fun – and that’s quite infectious.

I really enjoyed these last two episodes, even EJ was ok. Just shows how bad evans was Fear Rory is becoming a bit lost though – poor chap.

Blah, this weeks was a bit blah di blah.

Never been a huge fan of EJ, glad to see it reinforced. But the 4×4 madness that was the race, quite exciting.
SIARPC was a bit bland, everyone knows Chris can drive a bit but it was nice to hear he’s continuing racing, last years Le Mans was fabulous.

But hey.

I just watched my first 2 mins of this series – hate to say without Clarkson but it seemed a bit lifeless and cringey.

Clarkson and co seemed over-rehearsed. Now it feels like you’re watching the first rehearsal.
