Don't forget new top gear peeps!
 

It's back! I know most have gone off it now but it's back at 8 if your interested :-)

205 GTI would of been a good choice if there is one still going 😀

Mmmm. Wish I hadn't bothered. Hopefully it'll improve.

I can't believe they didn't go for one, I was waiting for it to come round the corner

Agreed it was ****e. Still at least I saw a couple of friends in the audience

Really poor episode to start the series.

Hopefully next week will be better, looking forward to the review of the McLaren P1.

Things can only get better

What a load of crap!
Once again top gear pull outno stops

Thought it was awesome......NOT!!!!

Can only get better i hope

I find the 1st of a series is always borderline......

I wish they had picked some better and tidier hot hatches of the 80's and done a real comparison. For those of us that started driving in the 80's it would of been a much better episode.

I would of preferred :
Escort RS Turbo (but would of settled for a 1984 XR3i)
Peugeot 205 GTi
Renault 5 Turbo
Astra GTE

Forget the Golf, as that's been done to death.....

I was looking forwards to this one as my first proper car was an 8v Golf Gti (all be it a 1990) and I still regret selling it!

Well my 11 year old is sitting here wetting himself and even I had a giggle last night. Missed what the budget was but be surprised if you can find any of the above that still have an MOT and can be driven for under £1k, saying that, there was a very clean Mk4 xr3i convertible for £950 on Piston Heads last week.

All good choices but they seem to think we want to see them trashing motors, I was looking forward to a real comparison as well when the program started but it wasn't to be....

There was a UK one at Spa when we where there, guys had driven it from Brum I think!


I would have liked to have seen astra GTE mk1 and mk2 + fiesta RS Turbo, + 205/309 GTI , Renault 5GT Turbo.

There have been quite a few episodes that have really got my wick up, I think the India special really wound me up when they destroyed a really nice works cooper special :(

Mmmmmm P1

Man I love Spa too - can't wait to go back :)

:agreed::tissue:

I wont tell you what Liz said :grin:

Much better tonight. Liked the Alfa too :ok:

Mclaren omfg yes please. :-o

p1 in cherry red please

if only I had the money for a P1 spa looks like a great track.

I'm marque biased, but the P1 is easily my fave of the new hybrid supercars, I was a bit disappointed that there was no hot lap this week.

Top Gear seem to confirm what everyone else is saying though: the P1 is funking fast!

Not sure on the 4C. Would prefer an S2 Exige myself.

:agreed: Clarkson had it all to himself too!

Watched the last couple of episodes on catch up when I've had a chance, the P1 looks stunning, really pushing automotive technology forward. The Alfa looks pretty good too, can't imagine how much that would grip on sticky tyres weighing less than a tonne :drive:

This weeks episode was alright, but who in their right mind would shell out £17k for a Fiesta?!?

I still like watching Top Gear, but it is no longer the "must see" TV it used to be. This series has had a few moments, but the challenges that I have enjoyed have either gone too far (the 80's hatchbacks) or seemed like a missed opportunity (drive round Chernobyl). The P1 was awesome, but I guess that was as much the car as it was the program!

:-P

Erm..... great first photo :confused: welcome :)

Erm..... yeah. thanks for that.
