It's just a bit boring and tired these days. The older episodes still command my attention as they were genuinely enjoyable and fun.

But I still have it on in the background on Sunday evenings to dip in and out of, that Lambo was ******* quick.

OK quite simple actually.

Install Zenmate from available extensions from within Chrome. settings/extensions/get more extensions
You will have to provide an email address for registration.
Ensure the default location - Hong Kong is changed to the UK.
Goto bbc.co.uk/iplayer
That should give access to their menu of available programs on offer.
Select and watch.
For ITV
Goto itv.com/itvplayer
Basically the same , but you will be required to register and that includes giving a valid postal address .

They ruined 3 perfectly good cars, and I'm sure all will find their way onto the used car market.

If you think Top Gear is dull and boring, switch over and watch Call the Midwife. END.

The old top gear focused on the normal everyday car we could all see by looking out of our windows. With the occasional pop up from the donut Steve berry talking about bikes it slowly died a death. Then clarkson ventured out on his own, touring different countries and going through the marques they produced (Italy sticks in my head) and they were far more exciting.

I still like top gear. Yes a lot of it staged but then that's because it's a victim of its own success and they create situations to please the viewer.

It is really 3 blokes with the best jobs in the world, going what they like in whichever country they want.

Why would they want to test bland fords and bm's? And really is that what the majority want to see?

After last night episode, I so desperately want a Bentley V8 S.

Was very surprised both it, and the M6 were faster than the GT-R.

Last night's episode was pretty good IMO. Mind you most of it took place in a proper country so that helped.

You plum sack made me laugh as did the claymores. I enjoyed it and I was surprised the GTR got beat by the 2 others. I'd still have the GTR though given the choice from those 3.
