Charlie Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Completely forgot about this. Damn work taking my mind off of it... There's a repeat sometime during the week I think and also iPlayer to get it from.
Jimbob Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 I actually liked both episodes, the first wasn't as good as the one this week for some reason. Top gear is top gear at the end of the day! Something to watch. And anything is better than the usual Sunday night junk, like Antiques Roadcrud and stuff like that. Just watching Top Gear now on I-Player, would watch it on Sunday nights but alas the Pool league calls me.

BeerMonkey Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 was quite surprised as just how little they could manage to cut off the lap time in that challenge. james is reviewing/test driving a supercar in a few weeks huh...will be interesting
spenno182 Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Completely forgot about this. Damn work taking my mind off of it... I forgot this as well, no doubt it'll be on Dave soon.
ReZourceman Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 I could only be bothered to watch upto Mark Wallburgers lap, (he seems nice) and then was tempted away by LittleBigPlanet.
Dyson Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Thought that both the 2nd and 3rd episodes were great. Loved the V8 blender, lmao.
Jimbob Posted November 17, 2008 Author Posted November 17, 2008 I wonder what else they will hook it up to? Apparently next week, a stana stair lift. Will be interesting to see that.
Dante Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 another awesome ep the morse codes: Ep2 - I VOTED ROSS PEROT & ME SMELL CATS Ep5 - TOO MANY GEARS & I LIKE MR SULU
BeerMonkey Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 was astonished at the jaguar in the petrol consuption challenge clarkson wasnt even trying and it still had over 120 miles worth of petrol in it at the end. Dont understand thou why all there computers were saying 0 miles left and they were still going :/ can anyone shed some light on that?
RoadKill Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 My mother was genuinley offended at the murdering prostitues joke. Lol... I laughed, hard

They likely underestimate to reduce the amount of cars that just die on the road.

Dont understand thou why all there computers were saying 0 miles left and they were still going :/ can anyone shed some light on that? I hear (dont quote me on this) that running low on petrol can mess up your car somehow, and you always have petrol when it says 0, thats reserves to get you to the nearest petrol station, i think its like average 20 mile of reserve, but you would probably be stopping and starting, they were going in a straight line on a motorway driving to try and consume as little as possible, thats why it was 120 me thinks?
Jimbob Posted December 2, 2008 Author Posted December 2, 2008 This weeks episode was a good watch, nice to see a race without Clarkson involved for a change.
Charlie Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 I thought Sunday's episode was very good and refreshing, nothing too outrageous and just some generally good television to relax and watch. And yeah, a race without Clarkson was a nice change.

Teeeeheeee.
Jimbob Posted December 7, 2008 Author Posted December 7, 2008 Quite a good episode this week, including the most thorough test of a car and special guest Boris Johnson attempting to drive in the reasonable priced car.
dan-likes-trees Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 The end cracked me up. Can it outrun a baddy in Corvette in a shopping mall? Can it fight in a marine beach assault? Awesomeness.
Jimbob Posted December 7, 2008 Author Posted December 7, 2008 The end cracked me up. Can it outrun a baddy in Corvette in a shopping mall? Can it fight in a marine beach assault? Awesomeness. And also including the infamous "Is the car green?.........yes it is" The whole extreme testing was pure awesome. As well as communism cars from the Cold War era, of which none proved successful.
Gizmo Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 I've been saying it for ages, but I shall say it once again; Boris for PM.
DanielTimothy Posted December 7, 2008 Posted December 7, 2008 The man is a prat - doesn't know what he's on about half the time. Tonights episode had such a blatant pro-tory feel I was tempted to turn it off. Comparing trade unions of the 70's to communists and such? Ridiculous.

Tonights episode had such a blatant pro-tory feel I was tempted to turn it off. Comparing trade unions of the 70's to communists and such? Ridiculous. True but how fucking awesome was the fiesta test at the end.
