    Oh boy, that was some funny TV


    The convertable in the car wash was crazy
    It cost a million quid and they broke it [face_laugh]


    And that Swedish Super Car even managed to get the better of The Stig


    And who in their right mind would invent a convertable Nissan Micra?
    A PINK! Nissan Micra aswell [face_sick]

    I very much doubt Chavs could afford that

    ...more special effects and camera trickery than an episode of Dr. Who.

    You do not believe they cut the roof off a people carrier and drove it through a car wash?

    what's debatable is whether they wrecked a million pound car wash ;)

    Watch it again, the "convertible" changed appearance for each of the tests (you really think that the BBC would let 3 of it's presenters drive through a lion enclosure protected merely by plexiglass and cloth?). A nice, slightly amusing set-up by the BBC but all smoke and mirrors.

    Well, of course it had to change
    It fell apart every time they did a test

    So in order to do another test they had to have it re-done.
    And it was probably then done by the construction team who are better at building then Clarkson & Co are

    Whether or not it broke the car wash is debatable, but it was still a clever idea and immensely funny

    Did you also know that Jeremy Clarkson can't actually drive? Doubles and clever CGI I tell you...

    Another great episode tonight. Not as good as last weeks but still good. Especially the radio show. That was awesome!

    If I'm not mistaken, you can watch Top Gear episodes online now after they've aired.

    Radio show was funny, though i'm starting to get a little bored of their "lets have a race between a car and something a bit mad" that always seems to finish just about neck and neck.

    Time to leave that one for a while I think. They've done it with mountain climbers, a plane, public transport, a kyak etc, etc.

    Its still better than most of the tv out there, but you just feel that they're rehashing the same ideas over and over again.

    Yeah, but its repeated on TV tomorrow night anyway, so no need to watch it on the web then



    Agreed


    They should let The Stig present it for a while :p

    No chance of them leaving it alone, they've got james in car vs free runners (par kour) later this series.


    But im quite looking forward to that one, im a big free running fan.
