Top Gear Series 14


Recommended Posts

Funny as hell and that 133 Car was a good nippy machine, did any one notice the very HOT girl when Jeremy Clarkson did the news.. the girl in the middle, damm fit :p

You talking about the brunette/ginger chick? :p

Radish?

Did anyone else notice a distinct lack of James May... i mean he was there during the studio shot bits but that was all really.

Maybe that was the reason the beeb put 'James May on the moon' on beforehand?

I shall be writing a stern letter the BBC this afternoon... *snort*

:p

I thought it was a great episode. Besides, the previous episodes had the entire episode pretty much having them building their own car and James May having a Caravan Balloon thing - it's about time they had a more varied episode.

Besides, the producer stated they're gonna tone down those huge challenges eventually.

Shame the HD broadcast was abut 2 hours late though... Stupid BBC.

Not Happy With This Season So Far? Read Andy’s Response

There’s a rather lengthy thread on our forums where some people are saying that they’ve been unhappy with this season for a variety of reasons, but mostly because it wasn’t car related enough.

Andy Wilman, the executive producer of Top Gear and the fourth man behind the show, has responded to those types of concerns in a very well written blog post today. If you’re one of those people who feel Top Gear has gone in the wrong direction, then I strongly advise you to read it and then watch next week’s Bolivia special.

Behind The Scenes With Jenson Button

http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/new-serie...s-jenson-button

I'm honestly not looking forward to Top Gear each week any more. Despite being a massive fun, the predictable nature of the show has got to me now, after a few years. All the joke rehashes are just mind-numbingly annoying. "Oh it's on fire" yes, "haha" that is still funny after that many years - Oh you broke something? Gee, marvellous and you make a hash of things on purpose? How very innovative.

I remember Top Gear in the golden days, they actually managed to make it look like they were trying hard yet failing; that was fun! Now they aren't even bothering and it's like they are practically reading the script as they set fire to things, spray themselves in the face with air-fresheners and ruining every other thing they touch.

I just wish they'd take their projects more seriously and not intentionally make it crap. like their electric car, wich with the base they had could have been awesome. or their latest art car.

Definitely - I mean, of course you expect them to fail in some aspects but I want them to give it their best and actually want to do a proper job, then all the hilarious stuff should come naturally because something is bound to go wrong all on its own without them planning every joke, every fire and how the entire project is bound to "fail" from the very start.

This show was utter crap.

And I hate how they put in 5% effort into their project. They come up with some pretty good ideas and then screw it up on purpose. Ugh. I want them to try things like driving to the north pole, or driving across an African country again. REAL things that nobody's done before. THOSE are what make top gear truly epic.

Yeah, Sunday's show was terrible. Why **** something up on purpose when you have something brilliant? Like May's sculpture. I don't want to bring the license fee into any of this, but they really are wasting it on destroying perfectly decent things.

The Bolivia special this week should be brilliant though. If it isn't, I'll be severely disappointed, and the production team will have a lot to answer for.

    • Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.
    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
    • Interesting read. I knew the adware was quite controversial at the time, however never realised to the point The Guardian wrote an article about Patchou. I just said no and enjoyed his creation, I’d probably be a lot more wary of something like that today though.
