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.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      Age 16, old enough to get a full-time job, your own bank account, a passport, get married, even join the military and go to war. But talking to your friends on the internet? Oh hell no!

      I remember when all games had demos; it was a normal thing, not a limited time promotion.
    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
