For me, was a really sub-par episode - Didn't even laugh once.

Too predictable and strained, but that's just my opinion.

i found most of this series to be much the same way. Hammond struggles with the delivery of the "unscripted" scripted bits i think. He's not convincing half the time, Clarkson is, which is why there's a pay difference IMHO. I feel the whole show has lost something; the obviousness of the supposed "lads larking about" is now so blatant it just isn't funny. It became tired, really quickly.

I hope they can fix it for the return in the autumn.

Honestly, the James May bit at the end was awesome. But MY god. What an episode. Beautiful cars. I approve. At least it'll be back in the autumn (September October I reckon?)

James said in an interview with Simon Mayo (which you can listen to here) that it'll be back in either the second or third week of October, which isn't too long to wait.

Shame, I would like to of seen a cheap car challenge, however they will be filming over the summer so might be some camping!

They did the Alfas for ?1000 a couple of episodes back...

BTW, I love how everyone is copying my Top Gear quotes signature icon2.gif Looks like I'l have to do another to keep up.

I agree 100%

I skipped JK.

the double deck steering on top challenge was funny, but the rest of the england vs germany was boring.

Richard driving the Gumpart was sad and the car cant be on the board because it has problem with speed bumps so they missed that bit entirely.

May in Japan was the worst thing James May done ever.

To summerize, episode 1 and 6 were waste of my time, 2-3 were ok, 4-5 were good.?

Worst season of Top Gear since ever (including the old format!)

WTF? It's over already? Can't believe it. Can't believe it. Can't believe it. It's my licence money paying for the show, so god damn it, make it a longer series. Clarkson, are you listening, you overpaid, jumped up, but hilarious ######?

Anyway, "Jeremy, my arms come off" had me spitting my tea out, just bloody brilliant!

And the subsequent scenes of the arm still attached to a wildly twirling steering wheel had me in fits for minutes on end.

Brilliant, brilliant brilliant.

But too short a series.... grrr....

Well they did the same thing with the Caparo T1, but the opposite way round. Ben Scott-Geddes of Caparo has stated that, "the model we supplied to Top Gear was one of our final engineering vehicles without adjustable ride height and electronic active driver control systems which are standard on our production models. When drivers select the 'road' setting, the car is more tractable in slower speed conditions and the ride height is fully adjustable to bring the car up to 90 mm clearance, making it more than capable of driving over speed bumps."

Why did you skip Jay Kay??? He was brilliant!

The England vs. Germany challenge was brilliant and hilarious.

James May in Japan was good. The worst thing he's ever done is his first moment on Top Gear with hit Bentley T2.

You must have no sense of humour at all to find this episode boring, and to say that it was the worst season of Top Gear ever. :wacko:

It can, its street legal, if you look at the top of the board most of them cannot get over a sleeping police man

Then why did they remove the Caparo?

Wish they would just stick to their own damn 'rules' and then make two separate boards, one for wet and one for dry laps.
