Harry94_ Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 So it's 4/7 episodes in now and I couldn't find a thread for it. Just wondering what you guys think about the new series so far? IMO they have been ok, better than season 17. But a lot of it seems to scripted now, but hey it's still funny in places. What are your thoughts on the current series?

I think it's been pretty good so far, i enjoyed the episode about China when they discussed all the copyright infringement that takes place there. The episode about The Sweeney was pretty good as well, some of the humour felt a bit forced at times though. I haven't seen last night's episode yet. I'm hoping for another Top Gear special at some point, i can't get enough of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The china one was good, that X5 copy that china said "looked nothing like an X5" when it clearly was. Last nights was ok, some parts are funny but I won't spoil it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A7X Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 so far its great if they review the new pagani haywera that will be awsome do you watch TG us too ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzler Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I think this series has been much better than the last so far. Last series I thought was too silly in places - but they seem to have found the right balance of humour again now thankfully Loving the fact that Matt Le Blanc has got the fastest lap time now too!

Last series I thought was too silly in places - but they seem to have found the right balance of humour again now thankfully That sounds promising, I didn't watch the last 3 series as I was fed up with all the usual, predictable nonsense, like squashing/burning a caravan, a road trip in old bangers, once of which will usually expire spectacularly.

Fireforge Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The only thing i don't like about Top Gear is how short the series are. It keeps the program fresh, but they have a fairly big gap between each series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 7 episodes fly by very quickly But at least it's something to look forward to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLIVERMC97 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 When are they on? I think I caught the news section of the last one where Richard and James were trying to persuade Jeremy to tell them where those people should be shot. In front of their families?

GlennThomas Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 This series seems quite good so far. I can't remember much of the last series, to be honest. I do like the show, but I do think they are beginning to run out of ideas for challenges and events. Don't get me wrong, I find the show to be really funny most of the time, but there's less and less about actual cars each series. When are they on? Sunday Nights at 8pm.

Harry94_ Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Loved it when James went into Greggs for his Iced Finger He came out and was saying about how he couldn't do over 4mph because it's illegal and Jeremy just flew past him, that was funny.

Harry94_ Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Episode was ok, the rocket man was cool. It was more to the point kind of episode, still enjoyed it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more to the point kind of episode, still enjoyed it though I think it was the best episode of the series so far. Sure it wasn't as funny as the off-road scooters, but it was really informative for once. I learned quite a lot about the car company SAAB.

GlennThomas Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Same. The 99 turbo is awesome! Shame it's really rare now I know, especially seeing as though they have now gone bust. I had no idea that Vauxhall were part of General Motors. Now I know why the Vauxhall Vectra looks so much like the Saab 93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned quite a lot about the car company SAAB. i didnt care about SAAB before this episode, but its good to know there history , there cars wasnt good looking but its sad that they are gone. that C63 AMG black looks great , my favorite merc after the SLR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
