I recorded it so I can fast forward those annoying cretins from channel four who have been at the top of my shoot list for a long time now.... Christ, it'll be Russell Brand and Alex from Big Brother next week 
I hope the rest of the show made up for the woeful guestage

I quite enjoyed it, certainly some LOL moments in it.
Stunt man, a little pointless I agree. The rest of it, inc Clarkson actually being sensible and saying adjust your driving style... impressive lol.

MOTORING: Top Gear

The very latest Top Gear news and views from the team. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May apply their minds to the question of what car the British police should drive.

Watched it with the GF. We both thought it was very good (business as usual) with the exception of JLC or whatever his name was and "the gay one" as Jezza called him!

I didnt think it was as good as normal but still enjoyed it. The thing that winds me up is that Clarkson takes a track orientated car which has been stripped out and then complains about the lack of air con and creature comforts!!!! If you wanted air con you'd not have bought the stripped out race version would you!!!

I would only regard someting like a Westfield/Caterham/Ariel etc as a track car. With those cars, you get a seat, steering wheel, engine and that's about it!
This is reflected in the price. Something like a GT3, or Fezza, available to joe public from the dealer is still a prestige car first and foremost and a predominantly road car IMHO (albeit one that will be very capable on the tack) I doubt it would be in the same class as the Radicals etc though! As such, I think Aircon is reasonable concession in this day and age for a car of that category and costing that much. You've gotta drive to your privately booked test track in Modena after all!

Erm, did you not watch all of that segment? He said it would be wrong for him to critise the Ferrari for it, then went on to absolutely rave about it.
I really enjoyed it. Looks like there's some class stuff to come this series!

Loved the engine bay shots of the Ferrari when changing gear and drifting. Nice touch that
Loved the police cruiser bit aswell, especially as I used to have a big 7 series like the stig was driving
Guest segment was a bit poo, allowed me to make a cuppa tho so I ain't complaining
One of the few TV programmes around just now that makes me laugh out loud so it gets my vote
