The Bentley rally was every bit as awesome as it looked in the previews. Goddamn, that looked fun!

For real, and I was surprised James actually started to get better at calling out corners.

The conditions made it hillarious, though.

In general, the episode was one of the funnier ones they've had in a while.

Good ep imo. I really like that ginger fella.
Also the last segment seemed like it was written for Will Ferrel and Jeremy just did his best :newlol:

Well that was as average as I've come to expect from latter seasons of Top Gear, the Colin McRae special that was on at 10:00 was a world away better.

I support them having a snow board, and seeing more dudes racing in the snow.

Also, this episode was fantastic, I really enjoyed it and hated how soon it was over.

Yea, good episode. A bit too long with Jeremy in the P45, but overall, very enjoyable. Thank God, this show is back on!

Great episode, I was never really sold on the look of the Huayra, but it looked amazing in the green paint in the studio.

I cannot wait to see the FT86. Looks like they were racing two of them in the preview.

Jeremy dispensing fuel into the garbage can was perhaps the funniest thing I've ever seen in this show.

I have no idea what happened in the subsequent 60 seconds, other than me and my roommate laughing.

The Reliant Robin episode was the very first new one I watched after getting into Top Gear during the off season, and that segment will always hold a very special place in my heart. :3:

Really enjoyed that episode. SIARPC was enjoyable, the rally segment was outstanding, and the P45 review was everything I hoped it'd be.

The P45 segment was really one of the best segments ever produced on this show. I can only hope the rest of the season is at least this good.

Great show, the only thing it was missing was a good segment with all the guys together. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

Jeremy's prolonged, inhuman yell of pain every time he hit his face on the windshield was unbelievably great.

He's really suffering for his art.

I think the time away has done them a world of good, in that they've had time to come up with some genuinely funny and entertaining stories and haven't had to milk them to death.

Wasn't a moment in that show that was padded out.

Also what's Lewis doing back in the SIARPC, he hasn't done anything of note for the last 5 years. Get Alonso in there.

The Huayra was amazing, I need to try that out some day, seems like the most amazing car to drive ever.

Jeremy seemed genuinely terrified taking the P45 onto the A3, and to be honest I can't blame him. What did he say its top speed was, about 35mph? Still, it's his own fault.

Bentley put some pics of the car on Twitter; it was driven straight back to the factory after the rally, still caked in mud. It's now part of their development fleet. (Well, they'd have a job selling it after what it was put through.)

The value of that car as a test mule, having been taken to the edge of what will ever be done with a CGT—not to mention the exposure it got on this episode—is way higher to Bentley than they ever would have gotten by selling it retail. Remember, this is Volks-"we lose millions on every Veyron"—wagen. They'd be ecstatic to just write the whole thing off as a marketing expense.

I wonder if that Bentley had any braking ability left by the end of that run. It sure looked like it didn't.

But it's a pretty good way to get someone to spend money on buying you an av and sig. Maybe I should be really obnoxious and get an upgrade myself

Moral of the story: be careful what you wish for.

You are welcome.
I usually just watch top gear for the crazy antics of the guys, the pretty cars are nice and the camera work is great, but that whole Bentley bit I was on the edge of my seat with my big stupid gob open, that's a hell of a loving car and taking round a rally course was just dumb and great.

I swear they switched equipment or production techniques, because that Huayra bit just seemed loving _sharp_. That car is so gorgeous.

I liked the mental look of the Huayra.

Then I saw it in that green, and had a car-gasam.

I rewatched it, and I noticed they have in the montage a shot of the new viper's tach redlining and I had another.

I believe they got a new cinematographer or some such last series. Remember the blending shots in the winter testing of bently/ferrari?

I was in stitches all the way through the P45 segment. It's easily tied with the Reliant Robin bit as the funniest thing they've ever done.

I felt the same, the forward facing shots of the rally had me clenching buttocks something fierce.
