Meh. It's kinda tedious now.

The transit was awesome, they shoulda made a whole show around that. The pickup was cool as hell too. This is the problem with normal top gear episodes - they put 3 twats in awesome cars and it ends up gay.
SIARPC is still crap.
The aussie thing was embarrassing, it was fixed so they lost but they still end up looking a million times better than we did. Cheating should happen on both sides tbh.
The mexican stuff made me cringe - I'm not hyper-pc or anything but it's like that bit of the script was wrote in the 70s somewhere in Alabama.

I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

I agree, I'd have rigged it so it was anyones game going into the last race and then made it a "battle of the stigs", with our guys claiming it was James and theirs saying it was whichever of them should have been driving.

I enjoyed the episode in general but it would have been better if the whole ashes thing had been like the first race, ie the aussies go "we've got the maloo, so we'll say comercial vehicles and they'll be stuffed" and the brits produce a transit with an XJ220 engine. I thought that one was pretty fair and very funny, esp Hammonds "well you might have warned ME!"

That last episode really was dumbed down/aimed at kids, agree with the comments above, most of it was embarrasing ???

I can't watch it live now, have to watch it recorded so I can fast forward past star in a reasonably priced car, I also ended up fast forwarding past the majority of the two cars welded together challenge which was pretty cringe :gag:

It still has its good bits though, the GTO article was interesting :) and the van was a bit blatant, the obvious gauges on the dash was what gave it away to me, can't say I spotted the wheels :cheers:

In it's usual guise.

They should have left it like this tbh.

I really wasn't enthused by that that one at all as none of it served any purpose with cars you can't buy, etc, except for the main segment on the Merc and Rolls which while interesting didn't really keep me overly entertained until the final chase; which was just as pointless as the rest but was at least exciting. Probably the weakest one so far for me.

Thought it was the best episode of the season so far. Very entertaining.

New series trailer.  :yarr:

It's probably have one of the most exciting I've seen to date out of recent series.

I know everyone moans about its not the same any more, etc but TG is still better than 95% of the drivel on TV that calls itself entertainment. I'll be tuning in, hopefully these challenges will be as exciting as they look!
