Oh haha, well there my opinions anyhoo.

If it was up to me, we'd all be going to work on mountain goats :rofl:

This series so far has been meh.

I was on Pixiv and i found this

I've just realised I watch Sundays but can remember very little about it. There was a maserati/merc thing that was dull and the rocket man but I remember little else. I think that says something about this series.

Also the lack of posts as well. I seem to remember previous Top Gear threads being more popular.

Gosh people here are so backwards thinking.

People today about electric cars - electric are crud, I want to be able to drive more than 100 miles a day even if statistically I only do that in a week.

people today about fuel cars - Waa fuel prices are going, why ?? , what you mean oil will run out I thought it will last forever.

facts about electric ...

batteries can be recycled.

end of life co2 emissions are lower then petrol

electric cars are more efficient than petrol if the power came from 100% coal

range is no problem as day to day you spend most of your time trailing less than 100 miles .

charging time can be less than 2 hours if you fast charge.

less parts so less change of problems and wear, but costs of parts are higher.

think of how load a normal road is in the city. think how quiet things will become and the cleaner air in cites

You seem to forget that fast charging almost halves battery life :D

I'm not exactly the epitome of a car enthusiast, but I understand and enjoy Top Gear quite a bit. I love the challenges and road trips; they always leave us a room full of people cracking up.

AFAIK :p I remember them mentioning it in an older episode, where they took a trip in an electric car.

Well top gear is not the best source of electric car facts :p

might kill the battery but the world kill means a few mouths of the life :p

Best episode of the series! Loved the rallycross segment!

Totally agree, loved Slash's version of "Jessica" at the end (Y)

[inferniac]

Just got a chance to catch up, amazing series finale!

[Biohead]

Kimi was great in that interview!

[Lovell]

I love it, the precursor to all disasters caused by men, watch this!

[TheLegendOfMart]

Brilliant last episode. It just shows how enjoyable the show can be without all the scripted '**** ups'. Hopefully there will be more of that in S19.

[Lovell]

The previous episode was also less scripted.

And now back into the drought - no Top Gear will autumn / winter I guess :(

Indeed, I kept repeating that bit just to hear the sound again :p .

Great last episode after I'd lost interest this year.

I like when they do those types of races, they generally look like they're having fun and love doing it. Obviously going to exotic places and driving expensive cars around must be fun too. When you see them doing things like the race you sense they'd do it even if the cameras weren't rolling. Same a few years back with the 24 hour race they did with the BMW.

Exactly! They can't script that level of live action, and you can easily tell; it makes the segment so much better.

Great episode to end the series on. Shame the track was wet for Kimi though.

All together, it was a good season. I wish they'd start doing more of the specials again though, like the Vietnam special and the one where they go through the jungle of South America.
