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.

    • 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 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.
