Been going on a TG kick lately in preparation of the new series. REALLY looking forward to the India special. I imagine they'll have nothing but lovely things to say about the cities.

explosivo posted:What's everybody's favorite, non-special episode of TG? I forget the episode but I love the one where they try to find the best driving road.. in the world. Cheap British Leyland car challenge. The stuff they put those cars through was absolutely hilarious.

Mad Dragon posted:15? Jesus. I just started S3 on Netflix, since I've never watched more than YouTube clips. I'll eventually watch them all, but are there any recommendations on absolute must-see episodes? Pick up a subscription to Netflix streaming only ($8/month) and watch all of them in chronological order. It marks off the ones you've already watched as well.  However, if you're looking for any cars in specific:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Top_Gear_episodes

Piano posted:BBC holiday specials for any show are usually extremely terrible on purpose, it's sort of a running gag, if anyone is unfamiliar with how these things work. It tries hard to be the Vietnam special all over again. I really didn't enjoy it.

VolumeOverTalent posted:I certainly think I have a bit more respect for NASCAR now. Having seen cars like this: The sound is insane. I live near a small track where the lower-level NASCAR series run (700-750HP) and it is insanely fun to watch and listen to. Very impressed with Tonight's episode. LeBlanc's lap looked VERY smooth as well..pretty drat good driver.

Great episode tonight. The mobility scooter segment was off-kilter and really funny. Loved the camera work in the Bentley/Ferrari comparison.

AlmightyPants posted:There was an interview I read somewhere where Rutledge actually said that Tanner is their Stig. The Stig is barely worth mention on TGUS though, so it's not a big deal. I'm quite sure Tanner is US Stig. US Stig tends to get cars sideways more than necessary on the track...very similar driving style to Tanner.

Grumpwagon posted:I know this isn't the Fifth Gear thread (I doubt one exists), but I wanted to point out that this season has been pretty solid. In this most recent one, Tiff races in a Lambo sponsored race against professional drivers, and does quite well. FG having a racing driver with a personality does give them some flexibility to do some things that TG can't. It's still a worse than either TGUK or TGUS, but I do think this season has been decent enough to watch. Nice! Fifth Gear definitely has some good moments. Not quite as well-written as Top Gear, but you've really got to appreciate how animated Tiffany Dell is.

I enjoyed the DVD. Seemed put together well and the commentary was pretty funny. I also laughed my rear end off when I saw an SC430 Neiman Marcus edition in my friends' parents garage over the weekend.

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

SpannerX posted:Well, yes, I do want more reviews of cars that normal people might buy. Sure, the super/sports cars are all well and good, but there is now way in hell I'll ever own a Ferrari or Lamborghini. But they're not entertaining to watch? Top Gear hasn't been a 'useful' show since 2003. It's just car porn.

Foehammer007 posted:I was also surprised by the tiny fuel tank in the LFA last episode (2). I mean, I understand why they would do it on that car, but at 350k, I would be expecting a bit more. Probably weight balance/savings considering how the rest of the car was designed.

CanOfMDAmp posted:I saw that too, I got all confused. Regardless of the fact that they were US, why was someone from Illinois all the way in Mexico for this? Or was it really random chance? Truck they rented probably just is registered in IL. I think it was the one they were following in the mountains as well, so it was probably used by the production team.

blk posted:Bit too much schilling for Kia there. Referring to the car by brand name in every possible instance, even when it's the only car they've been talking about for the majority of the episode? The celebrity appearances further make me question the integrity of the show. I wonder what the story is. Top Gear had integrity?

On BBCA promos for Top Gear, they keep featuring clips from the upcoming Africa special. Is this airing next week? Should only be two episodes left in this series.

Grumpwagon posted:You're in for a treat. You've gotten beyond the seasons where they were figuring out their formula, and starting to get to the very good stuff. Season 10 is my favorite. Agreed. 9-12 were pretty much the pinnacle of the show. LOTS of great episodes in there. The ones before and after are still quality TV, but they really had great writers or producers or something in that span of time.

Jimmy Carr's finish almost had me in tears. The challenge was pretty funny as well..Jeremy beat the hell out of that blue car!

Powershift posted:The hammond and may parts were terrible. Hammonds in particular seemed to have been edited by a 3 year old with the crown vic jumping around so much it almost looked like there were 8 of them out there. Clarkson has balls jumping a ferrari in the rain. Agreed on all counts. May's was watchable but I didn't really get the point. Clarkson's review was stellar I thought. The sounds they captured from the F12 were fantastic. SIARPC was very good as well. Ron Howard seems like a genuinely decent fellow.

Holy poo poo I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard at a TG episode. That was a seriously great episode. The car reviews were perfect, Steven Tyler was reasonably entertaining, and the SUV segment was a riot. It looked like James was going to pass out from laughing so hard.

Moments like this where the guys show genuine fervor and pride for their profession and the automotive world is when this show really shines. They could have made an entire episode out of the final segment and I'd have been happy.
