I'm going to be the lone voice of dissent........but I am really enjoying series 2 of GT! :oops:
There ! I've said it! :tumbleweed:
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 :o

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. :thumbsdown:

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 :D
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. 8) :thumbsup:

Yeh, considering applying to become a uk distributor and service partner for them. I think they are too expensive really though £12k for top spec one 😬

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!
Coupes because stunning!
Current - Silver Grey MC, Imola Red heated Nappa & carbon trim. Aeros, H & R Coil-overs, 224s, OE Strut brace, Nav, cup-holders, DSP Hi-Fi, pdc, cruise, MFSW, no CDV! E90 330i daily

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!
