Complete rubbish, shame the last series seemed to be at last providing some entertainment. I didnt think it would be possible but they have found somone even more annoying than Jason Plato to present it.

WTF is the point of wreck my ride?

Arse!


Get well soon Hammond so Top Gear can rise like a Phoenix from the flames.

Saves me watching the recording.

Just upgraded my Vista to the latest RC1, build 5728, so that should keep me amused for a while.

Visually it looks great, but as usual, too much hardware is not supported with drivers.

Last time I watched 5thG I vowed to never waste my time again. Gave it another go yesterday. Utter rubbish. Japmobile versus stunt plane - not quite the same as black Exige versus helicopter gunship. :roll:

Utter crap - Lovejoy is like Alan Partridge.

The dialogue is excruciating and which NOB decided in the set.

Utter pish. Nothing to do with cars and the presenters know it - apart from Lovejoy who clearly rates himself. Obviously the others have been told just to play along. You can imagine the producer thinking that this is all a winning combination.

The most embarrasing part was with Al Gore. Firstly, what had that interview to do with car testing. Secondly, you could see Gore was thinking "who is this prick - is he having a laugh." Honestly, it was cringe worthy.

Lovejoy then announced that he had been "like Paxman."

Get rid of him, channel 5, or the series will implode.

Complete farce! :thumbsdown
They didn't really sell that special edition mini, did they?
I mean i know the rc car was like sh1t off a shovel but i'd be pretty cheesed off if i put my name down on the waiting list for a mini that was beat around a track by a toy! :oops:
