Haven't watched a bit of this new top gear a washed up soap actor and a weird ugly ginger minger no thanks

Chris Harris is the best presenter on Top Gear by far. Next series it should be Matt, Chris, and the young Black lad (can't remember his name). Sack the rest

Cut out the silly challenges (as that was the Clarkson/Hammond/May thing) and get reviewing cars.

SwissTony 29 June 2016 10:55 AM

how many episodes are we in now ?
any better ?
only watched the first two on iplayer out of curiosity , 1st was appalling and wanted me to punch whiny Evans in the mouth, second was slightly better. Since then have found other stuff to do and Sunday evenings are a different viewing experience these days. Lets hope the Grand Tour delivers

dpb 29 June 2016 12:04 PM

Think it ok really , as long as evans doesn't attempt to be the central character / Clarkson


the other contributions are just as good as the threes stooges , with out the bollox so much ( whether that's good or bad ,donno)

prob another three episodes on past form

I think there was supposed to be 10, but that got reduced to 6 because they were falling behind with the filming schedule (apparently the reason for the producer falling out with Evans and leaving) so next weeks episode is the last in the series.

dpb 29 June 2016 04:45 PM

jokin , really ? :lol1: :eek:

( I was )

Chris Harris is the man, his videos on youtube are some of the best on the IMO

He is one of the few honest journos who openly criticise,

Check out how he got banned from driving ferraris

Saying how the customer cars are nothing like the ones the factory provide

Yeah I remember that infamous 'spat'. Fair play to him for not sucking up. Deep respect.

hodgy0_2 29 June 2016 07:20 PM

Yes, interesting article

I'm quite enjoying it, but for me it's the more car shows on tv the better. Anyone else think the number plate on the roller was done on purpose?

You'd have thought after the Argentina/Falklands mess up with the 928 they'd have put a fake plate on it.

Apart from a suffix "T" plate shouldn't be on a black background either, so its illegal, even with a legit plate.

(My dad lost his licence by driving about with such a no.plate....ok he had a few to drink, but the reason why plod stopped him was the Black/silver plates on his T-reg XJ6 :nono: )

Not according to 'real' drivers:D

(I know you like your flappy paddles FT.Just not for me ) not real driving at all.

Well done BMW for knowing where it's really at with that M2:thumb:

bioforger 04 July 2016 11:32 AM

Depends what you want from a driving experience really. If you want to get all adenoidal and tell everyone about how you managed a perfectly executed heel 'n toe downshift, then manual is for you. If you want to get from A to B as fast as possible then you really want a decent paddle shift.

bioforger 04 July 2016 02:57 PM

And rev matching and brake boosting (if in a turbo'd car) ;)

BBC TV and radio presenter Chris Evans has announced he is stepping down from Top Gear.
He tweeted: "Stepping down from Top Gear. Gave it my best shot but sometimes that's not enough."
"The team are beyond brilliant, I wish them all the best," he added.
He said he would continue with his other BBC commitments, including presenting the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show.
"Full steam ahead then with Radio 2, CarFest, Children In Need, 500 Words and whatever else we can dream up in the future," he said.

Yeah have to say the 4th of July 2016 is going to go down as one of the better days this year :lol1:

I'd like to have been a fly on the wall in Mr Clarkson's household today. Schadenfreude comes to mind (even if JC is one of those whinging 'Remainers'.)

dpb 05 March 2017 08:39 PM

What a load of old tripe

3 testosterone filled lads isn't quite balanced

jayallen 05 March 2017 09:07 PM

300gnspitzer 05 March 2017 09:10 PM

What a load of ****e

dpb 05 March 2017 09:13 PM
