WhackyWill Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I am guessing enough people find camp men on TV entertaining as they seem to be popular I remember Louis Spence on Top Gear, really cringeworthy Whose gay on top gear then..!!!

brillomaster Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I hate to say it, but I genuinely chucked at a lot of tonight's episode. Even though they're just driving round a housing estate or whatever, some bits were hilarious, especiallying when Hammond 'dropped off' his patient the second time! And Clarkson in the back of his car... and may's tailgate! It's episodes like this that confirm top gear isn't even remotely about cars any more Plus good work to ricciardo, top man!

Jetpilot Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 I thought that was a really good episode, few good cars and reviews ish, stars in cars were entertaining and a few laughs too 31mpg out of the i8 though is utterly shocking, however much hybrids might be the future, they arent even close imho.

benjy88 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I have to say, I get what Ekona, etc are saying about this show, despite the fact I enjoy it and stiII watch it. Tonight's episode though, was fantastic. GenuineIy decent reviews I wouId say - as weII as very "good" guests. Good to see some of the back to basics, between the comedy episodes Iike Iast week.. [stiII a funny episode though]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 AMG GT was suprisingly quick round the track i thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Driver Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Very surprised to see Clarkson praising the i8 in the way he did... and then when filming back in the studio he began back-tracking I sort of want a Land Rover Defender after watching it, but no intentions of winching up a near vertical dam!

KyleR Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Will Smith made the show for me this week. Not that the rest was bad or anything, it was good also, but that man is hilarious in every interview he does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 yep good episode, that AMG GT really does look rather nice, and it looked so composed round the track, quite unlike AMGs of old. And Clarkson did a decent review on the i8 - with a worthy comparison to the new M3. All in all a good entirely car based top gear! and that new film with Margot and Will Smith sounds interesting... although have to see if there is any on screen chemistry, cos in the interview they were as different as chalk and cheese!

ilogikal1 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Very surprised to see Clarkson praising the i8 in the way he did... and then when filming back in the studio he began back-tracking That in itself is nothing new on Top Gear though (except the actual i8 of course ), it's quite common for them to fawn over a car in the video section and then back in the studio the conversation usually starts with "yes, it's great and all but...". Usually ending with the phrase "...so I wouldn't buy one". It works as a method of saying it does x.y & z well but it also has these flaws too, I guess. It does make even more of a mockery of their mockery of the Porsche design team for the last eleventy years though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Very impressed with the AMG.... the lap time was rather good, especially since it beat the GTR Want that an early r35 though would a up-to-date beat it Edited February 16, 2015 by StevoD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Margot Robbie has also made the top 5 list of Top Gear's hottest celebrity guests... which to me is now: 1. Sienna Miller 2. Rachel Riley 3. Amber Heard 4. Margot Robbie 5. Amy MacDonald Edited February 16, 2015 by brillomaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may need to go test one of these AMGs. C63 was crap, but this seems decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may need to go test one of these AMGs. C63 was crap, but this seems decent. Stigs driving was pretty impressive in the AMG. Keep the rear in almost all of the lap barring Gambon. I think the Stig has changed since the GT-R went round. When current stig took that Lambo round he really was extracting every bit of performance possible.

zxrob Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Don't watch it anymore, very dull, entertaining it aint, ego trip for 2 out of the 3 it is Would watch re-runs of fifth gear over it Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedd Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I enjoyed it, although I would have picked the new m3 over the i8 any day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 tricky decision - I really like the i8 - think it looks great, and the tech is moving in the right direction, but I would probably have more fun right now in the M3. As said on the show, the M3 is about as good as internal combustion engines get, but the i8 is still very early days in terms of performance hybrid technology.

Jetpilot Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 tricky decision Not to cherry pick, but it would be a tricky if the i8 wasnt near twice the price of the M3 and pulled the kind of mpg it claimed, but whilst ever it is and doesnt do anything near remotely what it says on the tin, why would anyone buy one, apart from the looks? Until the price levels out and battery pack tech gets infinitely better i just dont see the benefit and if someone actually comes up with a decent solution to the hydrogen issues, battery power will be a thing of the past!

GMballistic Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Why does Will a Smith never age? So true, ...well almost. He looks older now than he did in the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" but still hasn't changed much in the 20 years since that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
