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.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
