starts next sunday the 25th at 8pm .

Comments to include, "its such a tired formula nowadays, it's just three old guys trying to be funny"

...and...

"I wish they featured more cars, their antics are just cringeworthy"

...and...

"it's still the best thing on TV, if you don't find it funny, don't watch it"

I won't.

I wonder what controversial thing Clarkson will say this week in order to garner some free, last minute advertising for the new series.

As i always say. Like an old pair of slippers. Cheesy but nice to have on on a Sunday.

Cheesy slippers.

<Ron Manager>Enduring image; enduring smell!</Ron Manager>

Yep !

Cheesy peas are great too.

PS, like my new sig? A certain Chris Bangle draw it for me when we had lunch with him in Turin.

C'mon mams!

Nice sig...

Pretty much the thread on here for tha past few series.

Uncanny!

Yup, Top Gear threads have become so formulaic.
It's time forums changed the reviewing line up.

Yeah, but it's too scripted and isn't about cars anymore.

It'll never be cancelled though, since it earns the BBC too much money. I've heard it is £7 Trillion an episode.

I like it.
No I don't.
Yes I do.

Like the lapel badges

Doubt it's 7 trillio an episode, blockbuster films don't gross that!

Not a bad show, bit similar to the usual but it was ok.

'Twas a joke.

Ah - ooopppss!!

They do make a shit load from branding though. I used to work for one of M&S's top suppliers and we could pay upward of 100k a month in royalties on top gear branded items!!

was it just me, or was tonight's episode a bit more about cars than usual?

Expect some Argentinian backlash about the number plates jibes though....

Was actually quite a good test, although I'm not quite sure about the cow corral...

Surprised at the pace of the Bentley, quicker than a gtir in a straight line!!

The Bentley was rallied a few series ago, so no surprise it was good off=road!

It was a better episode than usual. Something just clicked. The epic cars helped.

Is it wrong to covet a Bentley Conti ?

Apart from the drag test, I found my attention wandering.

I would have liked them to have removed the air filters and perhaps have the oil tested for bits.

You didn't enjoy the hill climb?

They are definitely covetable However, big and heavy and expensive to run as they are apparently not as bomb-proof as older Bentleys. Steering and front suspension struggles to hold up the weight of that engine.

I think I was engaged in making a cup of tea so, no, I guess I didnt

You’re surprised because it’s absolute tosh! The Bentley would be murdered in a drag race with any R35 Nissan GTR, let alone latest one with 540bhp+. The BMW would creep away from the GTR at higher speeds but none of them would have a prayer from a dig. Launched properly, the BMW would also pull away from the Bentley after a few feet. Top Gear sodding around as usual I’m afraid.

Boo!!!!!
