catscratch Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 E05 was really good. More of a throwback to season 5/6 with the cheap car challenge but it was funny as hell and not too over the top. Solid classic TG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I LOVE to hate Morris Marinas! But by far, the season premiere was one of their weakest episodes... They should have started with episode 2 with the trance music and all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 The series, finally, has gotten into the swing of it. I was worried that I might not laugh at all or actually be interested, and frankly it has been forced and contrived until now. E4 was breaking back, E5 is properly back to form. I loved it.

NightWoundsTime Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 E4 would have been much better if they had all gotten in the car for the postal race. 4 door Porsche, so it makes sense, and I don't think they've ever done a trip like that before.

Hopstretch Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Obviously not Top Gear, but this does appear to be the default gearhead thread. Wordless beauty etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catscratch Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 E06 was good too. The show seems to be back into the swing of things. Still no real gems like E01/02 of last season or the Vietnam special but at least we have some very solid episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkon Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 as talented as he is, i'm not sure even he can get back into that kind of condition that quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padam Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 To be honest, I thought the series was mediocre. But this last episode was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guzziguy Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Well for one reason, he can actually fit into the cockpit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightWoundsTime Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 The other reason is that he's done several science type documentaries for the BBC, so this was just a one-off special in the same vein. His Big Ideas series is worth a quick search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceClass Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Well for one reason, he can actually fit into the cockpit. If that were the sole criteria then the little hamster guy would have been sent although I'd have to agree with anyone who might suggest his history around jet engines isn't that reassuring.

catscratch Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Meh, James May = awesome and the more JM we see outside of Top Gear the better. He is becoming a fairly popular show host/presenter in general from what I've gathered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manaox2 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I think I might see a hint of a back windshield. Lotus is still one of the coolest looking cars I've seen, used to have a electric RC one in college that they would race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I believe the reasoning goes thusly: when you're going faster than anything else, you don't need to see behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 All this inappropriate bumping of the Top Gear thread is killing me. I keep thinking the show is back on, bastards. I do approve of the Lotus though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
