Top Gear!

[whereskeith]

Agreed , but I’m just happy to have car series on TV again.

It was very good. Dare I say it, better than TGT???

 

[Andyk]

Really boring. Wife feel asleep and Dan decided to go to bed to read half way through. Loved seeing the Ferrari and Porsche but yes it's now tired. Will watch every week though as its a car programme.

 

[midlifecrisis]

Missed it due to catching up on the Grand Tour...will watch tonight...

 

[Felonious Crud]

It'll accompany me on my next exercise binge. Both TG and TGT are perfect for that.

I think it was better than TGT. The interactions on TGT border on tetchiness, there is a bit more comedy in the delivery on TG in my view.

I would agree that Top Gear is better than The Grand Tour.

Both are a bit stupid and inane, but I like the fact that in Top Gear the presenters look as though they are enjoying themselves, and are a bit younger. TGT is almost becoming three grumpy old men....

The Ferrari GTC4Lusso looked (and sounded) an amazing piece of kit, and now I’m really jealous of @outrun and his FF.

Well I quite liked it, I think Matt & Chris have quite a good rapport and even thought that Rory did OK destroying that Suzuki thing. It's just entertainment these days and I could happily watch that for an hour or so.

The next series with Freddy & Paddy will I suspect fall back to a farce but we will see.

A group of grumpy old men in cars? Jon, sign up for Le Mans!

It sounds like TG may be finding its feet, with some decent interaction between the presenters. This is Matt le Blanc's last series, I think? Shame, if he leaves only when it starts to gel a bit more.

I agree Adam, seems like it's now finding its feet and it's a shame therefore that Matt has left and Rory has been pushed aside to the afters show. The chemistry is now there when it was forced and wooden previously. Matt is actually dropping the actor thing and being more of himself which is better to see. Rory is good at bringing in the more normal cars and having a bit of fun with them. In this episode, Chris even did a good job of pretending he'd rather have the Panamera over the Lusso. He owned an FF for some time and raved about it so I suspect he would have chosen the Lusso in real life!! As would most of us.

I'm not convinced by the new choice of Flintoff and McGuinness but we'll see next year. I don't really care for Clarkson et al any more so don't watch the Grand Tour. Just bored of seeing them do the same thing.

I was pleased to see that they chose the Lusso as the most practical estate available - that's precisely what I told my wife when buying the FF. I was less pleased when they told the world - and by default my wife who was also watching - that it's a £300k car. I hadn't mentioned what I paid for the FF and she had not asked. Wankers.

This will be sh!te I recon. BBC have tried to find a position for the monotone Freddy but he's cr@p on everything Ive seen him in.

BBC should do what it takes keep MLB. Just when they get it right, they fail!

My wife found the original sales receipt for my car when she was looking for something else. She was really pi55ed off because the amount I told her I paid was a lot less. I pointed out, my name's not Graham and I don't live in Edinburgh, that's not my receipt! I tell her the same when those annoying Blue Angle Bar receipts turn up in my trouser pockets as well.

If only she knew that I bought an entire Porsche Cayenne for the same price as one Novitec Rosso back box on the FF !!
