I'm going to be the lone voice of dissent........but I am really enjoying series 2 of GT!
There ! I've said it!
I know it's the same old format as original TG but as I always dismissed that as a trio of over privileged public school boys getting their jollies, I suppose i set the bar fairly low.
Taken for what it is you do at least have the banter between three mates which does appear to be unscripted. Dare I say it ......I'm actually starting to like Jeremy Clarkson
I know that the thread is about TG which I think is trying too hard, wooden performance from all, forced chemistry ie: NO chemistry basically all that's already been said.

It seemed to be stretched to fit the allotted time slot.
I was sick of hearing Big Foot Big Foot Big Foot!

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

Yeah,this was the worst episode of Top gear I have watched in a while.
Big foot,big foot ,big foot as said!!
Not even funny in the slightest,missed the mark completely.
No point to the 5minutes of city car backward driving/racing....felt like filling the gaps,tbh.
The only decent thing was the McLaren 720s
They do sound so nice in the flesh as well,lovely cars and a relative bargain of a supercar at 200k.
Gives the P1 ,Porsche 918, and La Ferrari a run in the performance stakes,and they cost way more.
Other than that, tonights tg was poor!

Yep liked them. As they pulled them out the van I thought oh is that a KTM. Then I noticed there was no tank and the penny dropped they're electric.

I always record it now so I can skip the bad bits!
But I must say Chris Harris in the McLaren was great - his stuff on the net is much more like this, and it works well for him.
Big Foot was annoying - apart from the electric dirt bikes. They looked really good!
But the city car reversing was p*ss-poor IMO.
But I'll stick with it - after all there is some car content!

Just finally watched the first episode and I really enjoyed it...probably more than GT (and I never thought I would say that).
Rory is a howl!
