Gotta say, that's more like it Cars we might buy reviewed well with some laughs. The Mexican thing was a bit crap, filling the slot where the fantasy lottery win is usually reviewed, and as said above, the rugby bit dragged on.

Enjoyed it last night apart from the pointless and a bit dull rugby...

We always record it so I can fast forward through the 'star' section, I find that very dull, but even watched that last night! They should feature more drivers from all sorts of motor sport.

That time from Mr Hamilton was very, very impressive.
Shows that he has so much natural talent and feel for driving a car at speed.

Careful there, that was almost a compliment It was a good time, but when he did a 1:44.7 in the wet was arguably even more impressive. Loved the story about Rubens giving out t-shirts

And Chris, I know, I had to slap myself after that comment!

I have never argued that he isn't a fantastic talent, but that it is unfortunate that his devastating speed hasn't translated into the titles he should have by now.

And as for the Rubens 'shirt-gate' saga, that's old news fella. Do keep up!

Apparently so as Nigel Mansell (who else? ) asked all those questions when he appeared some years ago now.

Thing is the track could be completely different in terms of grip from one time to the next and there are several other variables... that said knocking a second off Vettel's time is not to be sniffed at! Hamilton didn't even appear to be taking it that seriously....although on the inside I bet he was!

I fast forward the rugby bit. Now thats a first for me as I do like TG.

Some clever editing going on for Lewis' lap? About the only time sheet he'll be topping this year

They know no better because they are morons.

There's a multitude of programs I dislike on TV so I don't watch them, and I don't feel the need to come on here 'every week' and whine about it like a spolied five year old little girl.

Enjoyed it last night. Seems to review cars for once.

Laughed out loud in places last night. Just for the Stupidity of it, I thought getting `John McClain` to test the horn was funny.

Completely agree.
Who cares if it's pointless, comedy always is!

For the last time, I watch TG because I like it, but in my opinion it used to be much better. I come on forums to voice an opinion, not find somewhere warm and cosy to agree with everything everyone else says. If I think a specific episode of TG is woeful, then I shall say so; if a specific episode is good, then I shall say so. As a SNet member of many years I reserve my right to do this, and also agree with others right to disagree with my opinion, and even think that I have no right to that opinion, or the right to voice it if it differs from theirs.

It was better than it is now, it could get better so I keep watching, and if it keeps getting worse I shall say so, just in case they are listening and decide they need to improve the show. I was banned from FinalGear for pointing out that every week can't be a 10/10, unless we are marking it against Eatenders and Jeremy Kyle. If marking good shows against bad, then there simply must be a few 1-2's, many 3-7's, and a spattering of 8-10's throughout the 10 years or so the show has existed in its current form. It just seems there are lots of sub '5' shows these last few years.
