I usually like british humor, but the stig playing Top Trumps was dumb.

And the American bashing is getting a little old, although for some reason fat jokes never get old :p

But it makes me wonder, is this the general British opinion of America, or is it just Clarkson being Clarkson?

Clarkson being Clarkson, but it's no different to the rednecks who think we drink tea and eat crumpets and scones all day. I think it's hilarious.

You...don't?

J/p :p

Wasn't there a recent car, I think it may have been a Mini, that made a "british" version and had a tea set in the glove box or something like that?

TBH i eat crumpets and drink tea for breakfast most days :p

(and i'm really not joking)

On the subject of the humour being quite staged, i think it is overly staged on purpose. After all the complaints that had about speeding back in the old days i think they are just messing with those people who just don't understand entertainment TV.

Jeremy's vocabulary is the same every episode.

it feels so scripted.

their American hating never seems to amuse me.

love the show for the car porn tho.

Most likely is scripted to a degree, but Clarkson is like that so a lot of it is probally just whatever pops in his head at the time :laugh: I love how Jerermy and Richard keep refering to Bathurst as a big fist fight to which the occassional car race breaks out :rofl: also loved how Eric countered Clarkson's attempts at bashing Australia :p good stuff!

Yeah, it's like the challenges they are staged from beginning to end but they have to be. Imagine the chaos if they just decided to do one of those big challenges on a whim? and the complains would come flooding in not to mention they'd probally get sued to kingdom come as well....but even staged they can't control what happens during the challenge and they are still close and still awesome to watch :)

They are doing some filming for a future show in an Art Gallery near where I live over the weekend. They were there today. They have put on an exhibition where Clarkson,May and Hammond have all done at work. I managed to get 4 tickets for the tour Sunday. They were free woop woop. I had some insider info when and where they were going on Sale on Thursday.

Exactly, i recall the BBC many complaints about the car wash fire scene from a few series back. How did these people not realise it was staged... fools.

Good episode, there were some nice women in the audience :yes: ;)

The safety checks/tests with "Geoff" were hilarious (slow-motion crash and veggie Stig! :o) and now being after the watershed, Clarkson's face drawing :rofl:

I can't believe Twilight made it onto Top Gear :laugh:

Radish?

I thought the episode was great. Entertainment-wise at least, probably not if you wanted more car stuff.

Found the car testing part hilarious.

My housemates and I loved the slow-motion part. I thought the first two- thirds of the episode were a bit slow.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      By Talys · Posted

      I am not a fan of haptic feedback touchpads. I've owned a Surface Laptop 7 (Snapdragon) with one and a Lenovo Slim (Intel), and I hated both to the point where I purchased different laptops. It's not that they don't work most of the time; it's that they don't work 100% of the time, and there is no advantage from a user's perspective over a good mechanical trackpad like what's on a ThinkPad X1 or a Yoga 9i. I do not believe that I'll buy another haptic feedback touchpad laptop again in the near future.

      Works fine here too. About this build, I don't like to download any kind of Windows, from any site except Microsoft. The mod might work, but I don't know what it's inside. Can contain malware, backdoors... Long time ago I've used something like this but reversed - it was 98se with the look and some functionality  of XP. Or, later XP with Vista look. But I made it myself. Not downloaded from obscure sites.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Rockstar is preparing to launch Grand Theft Auto VI later this year, but ahead of that, the company has revealed a new offer for some Grand Theft Auto V owners. It today announced that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version owners of the 2013-released title will soon be receiving a free upgrade to the current generation version. The studio released the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 version of Grand Theft Auto V back in 2022, bringing significant upgrades to the original console editions. This included 60 FPS gameplay at up to 4K resolution, as well as major upgrades to textures, draw distance, and audio. Faster load times, ray tracing elements, and HDR support were also added with it. While this new and enhanced version needed a new purchase of the game to jump in, now Rockstar has decided to make it a free upgrade, dropping the $40 price tag entirely on consoles. "Beginning tomorrow, those who own any PS4 version or the digital Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto V will be able to upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X|S versions at no additional cost, and experience the best versions of GTA V and GTA Online," said the company in an official blog post. The free upgrade offer will be released tomorrow, June 18, for all Xbox One and PlayStation 4 owners of Grand Theft Auto V. Players who will be jumping in on the offer will want to check how to migrate their GTA Online profile from last-generation to current-generation consoles by heading over here. The offer lands ahead of The Kortz Center Heist hitting Grand Theft Auto Online, where players and crews will be tasked with stealing priceless international art from a prestigious gallery in Pacific Bluffs. It doesn't look like Rockstar plans to stop updating its previous game even with Grand Theft Auto VI being on the horizon. The latest title is slated to launch on November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
