Top Gear Series 14


Recommended Posts

Well the BBC were the first to admit that Top Gear was its Superbrand (CashCow) and they were going to exploit it as such. So for a few years they have liscenced the crappy merchandise, the DVD's, The Live Tour (Which was actually good, I went) and they have made the money so they can use it to fund other areas of the BBC. Needless to say that the BBC will continue to make Top Gear in the format that everyone knows and people will still continue to watch it.

> Lexus LFA - exactly what is the point? Does nothing better than any of the other supercars available and costs more than most of them... FAIL

> BMW X6 - shock and awe as Jeremy disses a BMW SUV.. said everything I would have said about it. Vulgar crap - it deserves to fail, hard.

Slightly disappointed at the blatant time wasting and so forth.. not sure wtf that was about! Will be glad when Top Gear is back on our TV's again though!!

That was a terrible episode. Trying to make jokes out of the fact they had nothing to fill the show with when obviously they really didn't. Should have ended the series in Bolivia. The awards are nothing but terrible jokes recycled from the year before. I think the best bit of that was Seasick Steve making music out of Moris Minor parts. Everything else was crap.

Finally having watched it I must say that was appropriate encore after Bolivia special. And in some ways less fake then lots of the previous episodes. Thou thats probably due to the fact that they indeed had nothing much to say left :D Also Jeremy's BMW review. HA :D

Bugatti Veyron for car of the decade, saw that coming a mile away!

As it should be.

I like this episode more than the last few. The episode felt tamer, like they weren't try too hard; and that's a good thing.

I think I'm done with Top Gear - it's become a pale imitation of it's former self... it's almost as if the 3 hosts have been replaced by actors pretending to be the 3 hosts.

Every series is becoming the same:

"Oh let's go on holiday"

"Oh let's find the best driving road in XYZ"

"Let's race long / wide / otherwise not-normal vehicles"

"Let's build something and then drive it somewhere to see how people react"

"Let's start a fire"

"Let's do a ridiculous challenge like fly a blimp built from a car"

"Let's get given ?1000 to buy an old car then go to a destination for the stig to race it. On the way we'll break down, go the wrong way, bump into each other's cars and generally be c*cks"

at least it's better than most of the sh*te on tv atm. depressing soaps, reality shows (big brother blah), dancing shows etc.

is the season over? because today's episode was a "best of"

Yeah, last week's ****fest of an episode was the last of the series. Now we have to wait until June for the next one. Hope they can pull their socks up for that one. The summer series seem to end up better than the winter ones though.

    • Can you read? I've said I'm willing to pay more for a notchless (no notch) 3:2 screen.
    • 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.
    • make your own notch - it's not that hard
    • 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.
