rtbiscuit Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 WTF! Half a million for the new E-type Jags Best sounding exhaust though Hmm...wonder if it will be quicker than the E-type Falcon Performance has... its not the new E-type, its a custom built copy bit like the new lancia stratos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HassanZ Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 It's weird how well they edit it and string it all together, like it's all been freestyled. They make it look so smooth and natural. There's a part where they are talking on the sofa and then Clarkson says 'right then on to the news'. If you look carefully in the background, one of the girls has a white top on and as soon as Clarkson says 'right then on to the news', magically she has a jacket on within a split second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I hate the fact that its all scripted to be honest - I used to like what I perceived to be a couple of guys having a bit of a laugh and a general dick around.........then I realised that its just a scripted load of shash. Bit like all the comedy panel shows like They Think Its All Over, Celeb Juice and all that jazz.........scripted which kind of ruins the funny bits.

HaydnH Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Argh missed it! My Virgin+ box is clever enough to record all the repeats for top gear because I recorded the last series - I bet it's decided I don't want the new series to record though, I'll check tonight.

The G Man Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 It started better than the last series, only just Watched the sky+ recording of Fridays 5th gear straight after, and it had more content IMO. TG's Jag love in was a week behind 5th Gear, but a better, although tongue in cheek, tribute. I'll still watch both and hopefully TG will continue to improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 The girls were all moved round a couple of times. They kept moving them to the front to make the audience look more like it wasnt full of men! The script is only very loosly there. Mostly they improv big chunks some of which makes it in to the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Just finished watching and thoroughly enjoyed. The MINI won this time because the road surface wasn't deep with snow and ice unlike last time with the evo. She is HOT that's for sure. The Jag section was fantastic and lived the new version. Sometimes I wish they left history as it was, the GT40, Mini and the Stratos as Biscuit mentioned. But the Jag looked fantastic, is it worth £500k doubtful and it will never tell the story of it's predecessors. Still if I had that sort of cash I'd still buy one as it just looked stunning, sounded mental too Beemer was great but it's still a 1 series. Just looked boring, still the lotus and Porsche looked the better car IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMMAshzilla Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Watched it on i-player last night. It was okay. Not good / bad, but okay. The South African element was the moment entertaining. I was invited to have the chance of being on next weeks recording after being on the waiting list for several years, but have yet to hear from them to official confirm Looks like I won't get to spend a day in Guildford standing behind lots of attractive women. Grrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrrr I dont think you get much notice chap. For best chance of being on telly stand near one of the cars associated with that episode. If you stand near the stage you will get shoved back by the set manager to make space for squirlies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
