Jay leno is cr@p as well...
yeh and all 150 of his cars..
It surprised me that Jay Leno wasn't faster! I have seen his car collection before on TV and it is impressive to say the least!
TG are a bit late on picking up on the fast Aussie ute's too! I enjoyed tonights, even the Scirocco ad bit was funny in places.
I must be the only bloke who couldn't give a fcuk about the cool wall though!
have to say, I thought that was pretty much the best episode of the series :D the adverts were genius!

wtf was the ending all about ???
I don't like how the BBC has taken to sly advertising though. First U2 and now VW. Just another in a long line of reasons why the licence fee should be abolished!
Bikii clad paul bearer FTW. She even beats the running out of juice/losing an arm and being beaten by RX8 and Alfa but not as many fuel stop gags. lol
wtf was the ending all about ???
I can see where he is coming from, but why decide just now that it is the end of an era for V12 and similar engined cars? The V8 ute's aren't exactly frugal! lol
We aren't that low on oil yet!
Wtf is going on with Richard's hair?

he and I are having a how long can your hair get competition :d
It was good, but was overfilled with the scirroco ad's, and the cool wall sucks because Jezza is an a*se (at times:roll:)

Was it a shorter series than normal? and the way it ended suggested it wasn't coming back - I hope thats not the case!

Anal hair??
I like Top Gear, but some of this series' episodes were abit, erm, staged??
I didn't see it but my other half did, he reckons it was the funniest episode ever.
I think the whole series has been rather lame in comparison to old episodes,
Hammond is getting annoying, they've run out of epic ideas and sooo bored of SITRPC
Still great entertainment compared with the drivel that's on all the sides all week though

everything in top gear is staged. still funny as fook though, i thought the vw ad's were hillarious, 'er james, ive fallen out of my basket thingie' lol lol and the bloke shoots himself in the head. i must just have a different sense of humor to all you boring old farts lol
Not a boring fart or old here, just didn't find it funny, they should add in some aids jokes
i really enjoyed as per usual

I thought it was pretty good episode,The adverts had me in stitches

The advert thing was waaaay to long. If they had cut it inhalf (like that blokes arm) then they could have had time to put more interesting.
Problem for me is I deal with design things all day so maybe thats why it got boring. :(
I thought the ads were class. JC is just a tosser all the time and thats why he is funny lol

My mate thought the part at the end about the Aston was them naking an advert - loads of picks of the car and Jezza keeping quiet.
Wish they'd do old school cars for a show or enter a rally proper.
I thought the ending was very odd, This is the end of the super car... Break till November as there is no cars to test... Was almost like they were saying is it worth them going on?
the ice racing episode was excellent. the 'sponsorship' stickers were fantastic...
LES BIEN cHAT, Le peTIT enTREE, etc..... inspired.
the train/jag/motorbike race was a good laugh
the rally in mallorca was brill, that model with may in the citroen was hilarious
the porsche vs the letter, which most people missed was actually a race from scilly to twa tt.......
they are getting lots of heat from the tree huggers & they are the sort of people who run the media, but they will keep doing the show for years

I thought the ending suggests its one day going to be the end of BIG engined supercars! due to the enviroment(global warming) people are concentrating more and more on improving diesel or battery powered cars.. so in the future our dream cars of today will just be forgotten:(
Love top gear could watch it all day, well i do when i can on davelol
Thought the 'pie' and 'key' gag was geniouslol
"Thought the 'pie' and 'key' gag was genious"
That was funny, but a bit unfair to the car......
The end was superb, no need for him to say anything, just enjoy it....
Lets just hope he does'nt destroy the rep of the insignia VXR 4x4 next season.......
I thought was ace, dump geewizz's in the thames!
I'd put money on that happening now!lol
When i were a lad we used to pick up and carry some poor old sods invalid wagon down the road or turn it round in his street which was one way traffic.
ones of these....

I only caught the last 20 mins too, what's wrong with the scirroco? personally i love it!
what's wrong with the scirroco?
The fact it was a smoker and despite having 138bhp and way over 236lbft of torque, it couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding
There pretty pokey tbh just notquickin comparison to the other cars they drive, and mays driving style really didnt suit it.

oooh dear, vw uk won't be happy! lol
iirc the new "hot" version of the scirroco won't have the new tsi lump but the good old tfsi engine out of the old 5 gti.
My Sky planner (series link) says its on this Sunday, and even gave a programme synopsis. :/

Probably a best of looking back at this series or one of many repeats.

Yeah, most likely will be. Short series ftl
:@ Said something about a drive to/from Norway IIRC. Didn't sound familar to me, but then I haven't seen that many TBH.
I'm pleased it's finished though. I think Hammond is a witch :O Did you see what he done with that card on the cool wall? Zoiks!

Old one where they 'race' to Norway?? Jeremy in car, other two rocking boats etc
colonscratchchin. Maybe lol. I have seen that.
You reckon it's staged? :O I thought they had 10,000 static camera locations and two supercars, one with the boot up constantly with the camera in.
Are you saying Auntie has misled me? :(
they allegedy do the race & then get the crew to retrace the rote & do all the extra bits...............
I reckon it is cobblers......
^ Smells something like cobblers mate!
Checked the guide earlier, 'new' one is something lke driving from Sweden to N.W England on one tank of fuel and James doing a power test in a Zonda.

That's the one for the christmas lights, james gets lost and jeremy gets there in some mahusive engined jag with a million litre petrol tank, hammond has the vw bluemotion thing. Then the stig turns the lights on lol
