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 releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates

      By erpster3 · Posted

      MVS subscribers got the proper 26200.8655 Win11 25H2 ISO downloads as of 6/16/2026 avoiding this whole MCT fiasco by MS. I'll obtain the official 8655 MVS ISO download instead.

      too bad the "backend" June 2026 ESD files are still at build 26200.8653 and not at the correct build 26200.8655 release. I'll avoid using the MCT for several weeks until late July 2026
    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.
