Any of you notice Clarkson put Eric Bana's time in the wrong place on the board ? HD doesn't allow for such mistakes anymore.

[(:db:) Livi]

HD is overrated He also didn't mark the germans' as wet.

That whole section seemed a little bit pointless, entertaining, but with two ridiculously uninteresting cars, why have James May road testing on the track when it's from the back seat.

I did find the Ferrari bluetooth / sat nav lady to be very amusing though.

[Swiss (:db:) Jeez]

I think they've set the bar too high from the last series, every year they went madder. It had to stop somewhere I guess.
Who knows, perhaps the next show will wow us once more

[(:db:) dman]

^ Maybe although I don't really agree with last season being one of the better ones though. Too much "Cocking About, even by there standards."

DON'T click if you don't want to know what's in the next one. click if you do.

R8 v10 vs. Zr1 on the track (this along with a couple of other clips were shown in the trailer for last years season but weren't shown).

The guys are challenged to work together to make an environmentally friendly car.

SIARPC is some American actor who played Nixon in some film IDK.

I bet that Drowned Veyron video that Sharky posted will be included in the news

[Swiss (:db:) Jeez]

no, I agree on the previous season. But there has been a steady climb in the wow-factor of the program, and last week was a bit underwhelming.

To be honest though, I was watching an episode from season 4 today (the one with the less than 100 quid cars, where jeremy bought a volvo for 1 pound) and the camaraderie was far better somehow. More fun, less hypercars

Linkage? one of my favourites that.

Yep, I agree with that, the last ep just seemed so much more scripted than before. I know it's a tv show so it's obviously scripted, it was just very forced in comparison, the two accidents for example lol.

That helicopter pilot was awesome though But then wouldn't everyone have prefered more than two minutes footage of that amazing road and less of "Borat Country" ?

As an added bonus, Jordan was the guest that week.

Can't find it on youtube, but it's s04e03, you should be able to download it from somewhere.

R.I.P Geoff The electric cars were classic TG. (Ambitious but Rubbish)

A great episode I thought, the camera tricks in the car testing made me LOL as did Stig leaving the AutoCar building That mustached thundercats fan in the news was a lil odd though.

Is anyone else finding it more difficult to concentrate on anything that's being said in the news and SIARPC sections these days ?

You can read and watch AutoCars Road test if you want HERE

Here's the final verdict....

Still better than the Ge-Wiz. Dman, of course stig lights up any segment. Or did you forget the 'interview' with him after the Blackpool lights thing?

[(:db:) dman]

Hehe, oh yes. I need to re watch the one with Stig racing the Caterham to Scotland and the others building there's in the paddock. Some great Stig moments in that one. "Getting nicked" and in the BP, "do you have a nectar card, sir"

[Swiss (:db:) Jeez]

I enjoyed the show as well, had to leave Borderlands early, but it was worth it.
There were some good giggles, and I too was glad they had some proper shenanigans going on
But was it me or did the show come over more scripted than it used to?

[(:db:) dman]

Couldn't agree more Swiss, not complaining though.

Here's that vid, I know some are too lazy to click links or read a big paragraph



I found these made me chuckle too / posted over on the TG forum.

[Swiss (:db:) Jeez]

Those images! fantastic.
Imagine that chap coming into school, he's never going to hear the end of it.
What was it again, he got the feeling in a Saxo?

Didn't he say the "Citroen AX" ? I could be wrong, but I think he did,

One of these

Not wanting to be too stereotypical but from his look, his probably looks like one of these.

Edit : I forgot the funniest part for me was Jeremy's dig back at Ofcom at the end

Thanks, a foreigner like me wouldn't get that joke

Is anyone as concerned as me with what James May is gesturing with his hand in the first picture.
