It was good!

Was ing at Hammond's "French" and JC ripping his mic off his shirt during cool wall arguing!

I need an RS6 in my life, although would take that Merc Black too.

Re: Top Gear

As I need an estate car with having a new born and needing one with enough Torque to Tow a caravan, I have been struggling t find a car to fit this requirement. Thank goodness for Top Gear, otherwise I would never have seen the car which fits all these requirements.... RS6.

Seriouls tho. Good episode.... And I dont care if they think all Audi drivers are *****. BMW drivers will always be the ***** in my eyes.....

One of those CLK blacks overtook me whilst travelling sideways at the 'ring. it was spectacular for the 2 seconds it was visable... on full bore the sound was almost sex-wee inducing

Good again tonight I thought. The stuntman is still carp, but I can overlook that.

Evo X in blue looked stunning, then the RS6 and CLK Black. Epic.

Re: Top Gear

Great show.

I have written to them with a suggestion for a new slot in the next series.

It'll be called "A Reasonably Priced Star in a Car" - the first slot will be filled by me, on the basis that I'll cost the show less appearance money than say Lewis Hamilton, in a Skoda of my choice.

In my favour, I'm taller than Hammond (isn't everyone, apart from Mrs Hamster?), shorter than Clarkson, not quite as gay as May and like all three, I smoke. D'you reckon they'll go for it?

Re: Top Gear

I thought last nights episode was good but nowhere near as funny as the first episode, especially the police task with officer barbie.

Agree with that, although last nights was good.

Looking forward to the episode when they are out in Japan and racing the Bullet train.

saw an old episode on Dave the other week, they and their audience were not at all kind to the Fabia VRS, when it made its entrance onto the Cool Wall.

Re: Top Gear

I thought it was one of the best episodes too , the Merc Black story was superbly filmed , it reminded me why I love TG in the first place , I could do without the stuntman tho , its not even remotely funny - sorry!
