TV Shows BBC Top Gear

Didn't it just

 

Gentle reminder to those who watch it. 1 hr 45 mins till it's on.

 

By virtue of not owning a TV, I have to watch it some time during the week

 

An hour to go.

Sam

 

Thanks for the heads up, almost forgot.

 

2 mins to go and I almost missed it... afk for a while

EDIT: I haven't laughed so much for quite a while. Loved the prison van.

 

Hmmm, unusually for Top Gear, I was disappointed - not really a good episode, especially given the subject matter they had to play with.

- They barely drove the 288 GTO (or gave any verdict on it)... (my favourite car ever!)
- Boris Becker wasn't a good guest
- The battle with the Australians was a great event, but they ruined it with the editing. They cut-it-down too much and missed all the best bits - watch the 90 minute version shown on Australian TV instead!

I thought that was the best episode in ages, yeah they never went into much detail on the 288 but it was only there as a build up to the 599. I thought BB was a great guest, one who had a genuine interest in fast cars.

The Aussie battle was hilarious from start to finish. For me it was a true 10/10 show.

 

Those wheels on the transit were a big giveaway, but I still can't believe someone would put that shell on that car >_<

 

I missed this to go to the pub with the wench. I hope she feels suitably loved.

iPlayer time!

 

Nice post for the Aussie Top Gear link.

Anyone remember the TG episode with the 40th birthday of the Transit van? I think the tranny from today's TG would do the Nürburgring in under 8 minutes.

 

When did they do a competition against Germans? I don't remember that.

 

Series eleven, episode six. Original air-date was the twenty-seventh of July, two thousand, eight. Was quite good, even had Sabine in, which is always a treat.

 

As you can tell, Malvolio's bratwurst likes Sabine.

Who am I kidding, whose bratwurst doesn't?

 

I dunno if it's the Gray/Keys thing affecting my mental state, but did anyone else find the Mexican thing (a Mastretta MXT) a bit close to the bone? I was wincing a bit as all the stereotypes were played out one by one without there being a Mexican guest or anything to give as good as he took.

Other than that, thought it was a good episode with the Australians. Still >>'ding through SIARPC, though.

 

I have just watched this, it was one of the funniest things I have seen on Top Gear

Spoiler

I am of course talking about the safari drive through, watching those baboons tear the **** out of the cars was hilarious as was the look on Shanes face when the angry rhino appeared

I will try and watch all the aussie ones now.

 

I was laugh-wincing. Wonder how many complaints they'll get?

 

Yeah i though it was a bit too far. A joke is a joke but they went OTT.
Nice of them to give there wishes to the Australians at the end though...

 

Yeah the Top Gear Australia special is brilliant.

 

Nice link for the Aussie episode, will give that a watch.

@Wuyan - its definitely worth looking up the GB vs Germany episode, was one of my favourites.
