Cars are pretty boring to be fair.

More random rubbish is what's needed.

To be fair your wrong cars are great! :P ...but a balance between the 2 is needed to keep everybody happy  :)

the sooner they dump (or cut short) the start in a reasonably priced car the better !


I could understand if it was season 1, where the "stars" might get them more/new viewers.... but in season 27 or whatever it is ?  everyone in the uk already knows exactly what top gear is and what to expect....

I always wqatch online.... and I always skip past the SIARPC bit....  they never have anyone that intrestong on anymore anyway ?

I always skip it too now as of last series, bores the crap out of me, I gave the 'comedian' who came on in the last episode 1 minute to be amusing.  He made a crap joke about how they hire a bloke to herd the attractive women to the front, it was a poor joke but got the usual hyena laughs, he could have made it a lot better by looking round and saying how he wasn't doing a good job ;D

 :stupid: SIARPC annoys me too - I'd rather they just make the show 10mins shorter.

Also lately the track reviews are pissing me off, all the fuzzy squiggly camera tricks they do are just irritating.
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 don't mind them trying to spice up the reviews a bit, what bores with them (the supercar ones 90% of the time) is that its always the same bland assessment, 8 mins of praise and wonder then 2 mins of "aha!, but.." slagging it off to close (or vice versa and repeat ad infinitum). I think what makes the average/cheap car reviews so much better is that they go out of their way to make those different. But then I guess there is always going to be a formula to a car review as there is only so much you can say or compare with.

Whoops! Poor Rowan :(

Good to see that some people do actually drive these things, most are just sat in showrooms, garages and warehouses!

It's a shame they didn't show you more of the stations from the home made trains episode, they're on a heritage line and are pretty amazing as it's like going back in time, I went to a beer festival they had literally on the loughborough platform, even the adverts are cool ;D
