Top Gear Series 14


Recommended Posts

Pity it wasnt on channel 4, then we could have had it in 3D as well :p Been trying for two weeks and still not been able to get any bloody 3D glasses, stupid Sainsburys, why couldnt they just give them away free in the papers or tv mags :angry:

I assumed that was what the 'finding the best driving road' was all about. After all it did look amazing in HD

Sure did, but it was very subtle of them to do that. After all, Top Gear is a show about cars and not about roads ;) Every season needs to bring something new from the beginning in a bold way, this opener did not, which is unfortunate :(

Quality episode. Absolutely stunning in HD!

Loved the bit with May & The Stig playing Top Trumps with the BMW & Merc, had me in stitches when The Stig had a hissy fit and uplifted the table and stormed off!

The Aston Martin DBS Cab is an stunning car, it looks amazing. I want one!!

I'd have a normal DBS over the Volante. Soft top Aston Martins do nothing for me.

+1 i hate convertibles. I would take a none drop top DBS out of those three no problem.

And it toke a lot longer then i thought for that Sandero to get hit with something...

The supercars were pretty fabulous and I'd gladly have any. The new BMW and Merc are different stories though. I wouldn't have either.

you're comparing "normal" cars with big engines to super cars...

They didn't show a season preview!

yea I noticed that too!

As everyone said, Those 3 supercars are drool worthy. Aston is the best. By far. However i would have the BMW or Merc if i had the cash for them...

Lol @ top trumps with the stig :p

P.s. I need a bigger HDD in my Sky HD box :p 4% a go for TG in HD

Heh..British humour. :unsure:

It's getting annoyingly more staged and trying too hard to be funny.

    • There was a Spider-Man game back in the day that had these as well. When other people played, they got gamer ads. When I played, I got ads for Visual Studio on the billboards in the city.
