The Scooby has shown itself to be the king of the rough stuff ..... what a brilliant advert!!

BTW where are they getting their petrol from?

 

That was actually quite good ... without the Scooby interest, however, it may have been rather boring!

Just too many muddy roads and getting stuck - how much of our money are they paid for this?

 

It was so weird seeing my car so to speak in action, very impressed!

 

Goes to show the quality of the mighty impreza

 

The good old Impreza was imperious - as you would naturally expect it to be in such an environment...



The theme from 'Zulu' was a nice touch under the credits

 

Is that the car that's on you're avatar?

 

Mine is a dead ringer on a 52 plate,must get this downloaded when it finishes,

 

Wonder how many of us blue bugeye wagon owners will appear to have more of a presence on the way to work tomorrow? Expecting mine to have an armchair fitted to the roof by the time I finish work; think I might get labelled angry yob too.

 

I think these specials are duller than the regular programmes but good to see the bugeye performing well. Principal thing I kept noticing was the size of Clarkson and May's beer guts!

 

The eye-opener for me was the price - £1500!!! lot of car for the money.

 

.......a lot of Fugly for the money

 

£1500 for an Bug Eye? Is that actually the going rate for an eleven year old Impreza nowadays?

 

Yep, but it wasn't the best example on the planet was it, did you notice the peeling lacquer on the bonnet? Probably had a load of other small issues too I suspect.

 

Really enjoyed that ! The Scooby probably lifted interest, but for me it was way better than Bolivia, Vietnam, Middle East or the awful India shows. Looking forward to next weeks, but I do hope they don't kill the Scoob after building it up and it doing such a good job.

 

I like the specials and this one has been ok so far. If it wasn't for the scoob the trip would have been over before it had begun. I wouldn't rank it about the Bolivia or 'Nam ones though, however, I'll hold fire until next weeks

 

The nam episode was one of the best imo, the latest one was a but dull I have to sdmit

 

Sponsored by Subaru? A real laugh IMO and the BM did okay too; its on my favourite alloys too (mine are the nearest I could get for an E91); try that on poncy 19s!

 

Because it's what brings in the audience. Better yet, the vast majority of those whinging about the program are still watching it. And while it might be a bit repetitive, every idea I've ever heard put forward to "improve it" would drive most of the audience away.

 

Spot on.
We should start a new thread - Tired old Top Gear Haters - What to do with them??

 

I enjoyed it, yes I wish they didn't do the stupid mods to the cars, but as above it's what sells the programme to a wider audience. Some of the scenery was just fantastic and the Scoob dragging the utterly useless Beemer out of the mud was worth the hour's watching alone

 

its not really a car show now, but that doesnt stop it being entertaining.

i enjoyed this one, you knew what was going to happen but still watched and laughed.

the "pulling out of jezza" jokes made me laugh

 

Without the Scooby it'd be crap.. They are indeed fat fella's now & really do call Subaru Owners.. 75 per cent of our car parks taken up each show, yobs,hooning etc etc such sweet comments.. How do they fuel them & all of the crew vehicles.. It has to be better than the other drivel available..

There is always the option of not watching it

 

Your Merc would have been far more useless ;-)

 

why do you take offence at what he says about subaru owners,
what do think people say when an impreza goes past?? ah theres the local vicar!!

its a chavs car and getting worse the cheaper they get.
they take the p1ss out of every marque of car in these challenges

 

Good point; lots of comments here about how it coped so well then upset, sensitive little souls bleating about the image thing.

Scoobs have a chav image, BM have a to55er image, etc. who cares?!

 

I could live without the mods sketch but my 11 year old daughter found it hilarious. Particularly when Hammonds pots and pans started flying.

 

exactly why get offended by a fact.

it would have been funnier if the wagon had wrc graphics though

 

Hook, line and sinker.

I knew that would push your buttons... you are such a BMW fanboy, it's tragic on two levels... one that you are anyway and two you choose to be so on a Subaru forum

 

Exactly, the show appeals to all ages and people. That's why they do it the way they do! It beats watching Call the Midwife or whatever anyway

 

Look up this long word in the dictionary.

Hypocrite.
