Default Tonight's Top Gear.

Well, I thought tonight's was pretty good. I slag it every week becsause it is usually dire, but tonight's was ok.

Yes, the last 20 minutes was very dull and background stuff, but the 1st part was good. Even the SIARPC bit had a half interesting person.

M3/Lexus was good, as was the bus thing.

7/10.

Spooky about the Audi thing though. I have noticed that over the past year or so.

Was above average TV entertainment as always!

The race at the end should have been better than it was tho! Don't get me wrong I like the old Ferrari's, but it would've been better in a Zonda roadster or something!!

PS last in the series next week

I thought this weeks topgear was crap as was last weeks. I never thought i'd be saying that

As for Audi drivers. I have noticed A3 drivers seem to be the biggest ******** ever. 1.6 or diesel versions seem to have a complex that makes them overtake me at silly places and its not as if i drive something threatening like an Impreza i drive a fricken 147!!!

Well, as one of those awful people that criticise the wonder that is TG, I have to say I actually enjoyed this episode, 7 maybe 7 1/2 out of 10

Given the way Top Gears headed recently, I fear Vroom Vroom may start to look like Shakespeare in comparison in a few months

Thought the last 20 minutes was okay actually, The Ferrari Daytona is a nice motor and would be one of the few Ferrari's i'd like to own if I could afford one (the other being an F40) and I thought it was funny as the smugness of James was knocked out of him as he received a good beating!

At least there wasnt a porsche on this week!

That made the Cayenne or Tribeca look good. Reminded me of the Reliant Scimitar, but not in a good way!

I just thought 'someone's photoshopped a 911'. Shortly followed by, 'why?'.
