Top Gear Season 21

[badman gee]

Alfa was lovely, still worth the money.

P1 not sure about.

Not a good write up by Clarkson, seen better.

Still prefer the F1

 

[NeRo]

Was going to give it a miss, but decided to give it another chance - defo better than episode 1

However, I've been watching repeats of 5th Gear on Discovery Turbo, which I enjoy a lot more

 

[zedonist]

Only good thing about 5th a Gear is Plato, other than that it's a bit stuffy.

 

[zedonist]

Another great episode, Chernobyl certainly raises questions, quite haunting seeing the ghost town

 

[GazHyde]

Really enjoyed tonight, although that Zenvo ST1 is possibly the worst looking car I've seen in some time... Handles as bad as it looks too.

 

[zedonist]

Yeah that's the second time Jezza nearly been fried, first was the Caparo T1, you would think these companies would do a proper shake down, as this will only be detrimental to their sales...........oh and the price £800k, having a Giraffe....

 

[t-tony]

It burned well I thought. Any way that would be a dead giraffe.

 

[zedonist]

Trouble with carbon, burns well, you've seen your BBQ.........

 

[Jamezee]

Simples. If you don't like it don't watch it. Simples. Stop moaning and turn over to watch the c&%p on the other side. What amuses me is people who watch it every year, slag it off then carry on watching it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year then slag it off then watch it the next year then slag it off and watch it the next year. How many years has it been going? That's entertainment not a serious motoring program

 

[t-tony]

But we watch to see if it can get any worse, . . . . .I think? No, That's Entertainment - - - - was a great record from way back.

 

[oldcarman]

If you've got something to say about it I think you just did. Get it out, take a breath and hit the remote to catch the next show. JIM

 

[zedonist]

Fantastic, good humour, the problem at the end was that the rope was too high.....love the caterham

 

[GazHyde]

Doh, forgot it was on. Hopefully my Tivo was more on the ball than I...

 

[Brian H]

...........the problem at the end was that the rope was too high.....

Slightly OT but mythbusters did a whole topic on this very subject using the BMW bike example, really interesting. IIRC the bike needed to be at an approx speed of 100mph to archive similar results.

 

[zedonist]

Yes Mythbusters is good, my favourite was the motorbike on water

 

[GazHyde]

Tonight looks like it could be a good episode with Hammond driving the new Porsche. Be interesting to see just how good it is...

But with Hammond being a Porsche nut it may not be that balanced?!

 

[zedonist]

Another hot hatch shoot out as well, will report back shortly.............

 

[zedonist]

Another good show, only low point for me, the stig did not drive the 918, what a lovely car!

 

[GazHyde]

Top Gear finally hit Top Gear tonight! Brilliant show, couldn't stop laughing... Or perhaps the pills are finally working now.

Even as a hater of Porsche in general, that looks great. Can't wait to see a head to head between it and the P1.

Trailer for the Burma special looks like that's gonna be a good watch too. Happy days!

 

[zedonist]

I would love to know what upset the bimmer, very strange, he was going in a straight line, can only have aqua planed is my guess?
