Default Top Gear on top form :)

Last night's Top Gear was great, loved every minute so thought I'd start a thread for fans, if I'm the only one, then so be it

I know there is another Top Gear thread but most of the comments make the TG presenters look like Mensa applicants

Interesting that the only car that didn't break seriously was the BMW though!

You just know they were followed everywhere by several trucks full of parts, equipment and mechanics, plus a fleet of Winnebago's. If you think any of them slept in their cars then you may as well believe Will Smith knocked out that alien with one punch.

No ****!! The concept of making a TV programme is obviously still quite new to you isn't it?

I think it is entirely the point that he does know.

However, for me that sort of messing about does let them down.

The stuff about taking bits off each car (and the rear window out the scooby fitting the BMW) is just daft for the sake of being daft.

It would actually be better if they did it more of a Long Way Round style and were just honest. I think it insults the viewer becase apart from that it was excellent seeing what could be done, the views, the roads etc. All excellent viewing just let down (slightly) by the "this is TG we need to mess about a bit" mentality.
