It was crap, what a mess, and wrecking cars they see a beneath them. The funniest bit was £37k for that Mxican pile of poo that only does 4.9 to 60. Makes our cas look fantastic value.

'Louise,why did you move to Mercedes?'

Blah,blah,blah, bo**ocks, bo**ocks, blah,blah,blah.........

Real answer:Because they pay me more for less work.

I don't have a problem with that,nice work if you can get it,but I wish ,just once, they would be honest.

Every week we seem to have a thread started about the weeks episode of Top Gear and many complain about the show.
My question out of pure interest is, what is it you want from Top Gear? What in your opinion would make it the show you want to see?

Thought this episode was quite funny really. Thought the interview with Lewis went, well, he seemed personable, and not the yes, no, I can only say what they tell me, type of bloke he was a couple of years ago.

And they actually reviewed two cars, which people can and will buy. Not bad eh.

To top it office John Mc'clane made an appearance.

I do concede they covered normal cars so great, but that is a rarity. The one I want to see is the Africa special with a bugeye wagon

I personally think they need to get back to what the old topgear was about,and that was cars,not interested in celebs or presenters,im interested in cars!

Could be wrong F1 but can't see how Lewis could beat Seb by that amount,I know that they weren't giving 100 % but...

They didn't laugh as loud as the P45 car in the library though..

I know 1.1 secs is a long time in racing terms but not that big considering the slow car their driving.

Well I suspect when you see them in equal F1 machinery you will realise

OK being serious for a sec. Different ambient conditions, different track conditions maybe even different tyres, but let's not forget Lewis was only 0.7 seconds slower than Seb on his wet lap.

I don't think people realise quite how quick Lewis is, the fastest in F1 in my opinion... note that does not mean the best!

Agreed, Lewis is on of the fastest we have ever seen in F1, really don't get why so many people out side of F1 don't realise this.

Think top gear has been a pick and choose program for ages where bits you like and bits you don't. If I record it the bit I consistently fast forward through is the star ina reasonably priced car

I can't not watch it.
Was pretty good last night with Lewis as guest, rather than a non-motoring celebrity, who are generally quite un-interesting & full of themselves.

I even liked the Mexican Mastretta. Primarily because it wastn't a sh*te hybrid or EV, & didn't look like an American, French or German car.
