Never seen past the window An went of f**k haha
I know top gear was setup but somehow I don't think that was meant
Nope cause I done one on a new Range Rover a while back and wasn't very disappointed at the end cause I realeased I really can't afford it lol
No, but I'm currently on Forza 6 doing laps of the TG track in a GT86 lol
RMS time trial...
You know by his reaction that wasn't planned lol
There was an episode of FifthGear where they were comparing the New skoda superb and BMW 3 series. He was testing the quality of the dash by banging a hammer on it and in the skoda it bounced up and smashed the windscreen lol, his reaction was priceless.

I'm in! Sounds fun! Completely standard or can it be stripped and caged too? Lol
You'll beat those times in a std car. Standing start, no mods - easy!
Post your time on the Forza thread?

I actually think they are totally missing a trick there. The episode in St Petersburg was one of the best ever and the Stig became the unlikely star. Given 'he' is the BBC's intellectual property I thought it would have made sense to utilise that as best they could, some sort of character continuity if you like.Enjoyed it with a few lads round like old times.
Very little Stig though? Wasn't much of a return

Another good episode, still liking the comparative lack of Stig too. Having the guest on for a good bit but not having it dedicated to the guest is also good.
I think it's goodness has been inflated by the Evans version (what I could stomach watching of it) being even worse than expected, and the Grand Tour being a bit mediocre with the odd shine of great content.
Harris is very good in my opinion, clearly intelligent and tends not to talk out of his arse which likely doesn't sit well with some which is fair enough.

I think this is an awesome car, I wonder will they depreciate as fast as other Alfas lol
I hope these are well built because in 10+ years I want one. Even aside from how it goes, it's the first car I've lusted after in years. Those repayments on a new one are frightening though! There's about 40-50 grand of depreciation to happen before I can afford one!

I think they are trying to make Top Gear their own which seems to be relying less on the old tropes and focusing on the new presenters and a rejigged format. I'm only watching now but the Alfa segment was excellent, and staged or otherwise, taking apart the Harris ego a bit and giving him a decent challenge was smart writing.
The studio segment still feels slightly awkward but I see potential in that too. It certainly doesn't seem to drag. Just started the 'Hangover' segment, and Harris having a dig at Lambo - I see that's a grudge he still bears!

Caught the last half hour of last nights show, quite enjoyed it with the lambo and Porsche. The missus commented on the awkward comedy between the two during those scenes but I didn't mind it, would be a hard choice for me trying to pick between the two cars!

There's absolutely no banter out of Rory at all. Is he afraid of Leblanc chinning him or something?
Oh and forgetting the damage done to the Alfa for a moment but the Lamborghini and Porsche being driven at 80mph in neutral? Can't have done the gearboxes much good. Then there was the Lamborghini getting cut to pieces with all the airvents stuffed full of snow lol. Rash

The whole concept is totally played out.
The set up was good when the original 3, now its done. Needs a complete overhaul or scrap it.
Le Blanc is a tit too

Didn't say it was. Presumably DSG type set up? I'm no expert though, just thought it couldn't be too good for it :/

Actually really enjoyed that episode, couldn't believe Harris damaged the Alfa his face was priceless and him taking the celebrity's for a lap and shouting at them in the car is getting a little tedious. I thought the US road trip was great, the Huracan convertible was gorgeous apart from the wheels lol
