ColHannibal posted:That interview quells all "get someone who knows about cars" arguments. To me it was more Clarkson just asking all the obvious questions "haha this thing you did was soooo wacky and this other thing and that thing and all these things. Oops times over well there's your lap off you go." Clarkson made that a bad interview, not Kimi. Rest of the episode was good though. I enjoyed the Slash interview and while I wanted the rallycross segment to be even longer I looked back and it took up a full 1/3rd of the episode. pik_d fucked around with this message at 10:39 on Mar 13, 2012 |

drunken officeparty posted:I have never cared about cars at all, but I saw an episode of Top Gear a week ago and absolutely loved it. I blew through Series 17 and am halfway done with 18. Are the early seasons as good? I know a lot of shows don't get into their stride until later on and don't really want to waste my time starting from the beginning if they are going to be bad. Season one and to some extent two were not really the same show as everything after them. They were way more serious and season one had some fat guy that did nothing interesting ever instead of James. I'd still watch them (first, going back to them makes them seem worse) but season three on are all fantastic.

CannonFodder posted:So basically they are missing Australia and Antarctica for continents they haven't trekked across. Australia has their own Top Gear, but that hasn't kept them out of the US. They've been coming to America for years now, and I think Clarkson popped down to Australia for his low-budget review of the BMW X6.

I was surprised that Jeremy didn't say anything about the name "Mono" given how he goes off about ST whenever he reviews a Ford hot hatch. I have to say though that I enjoyed each segment, even though one of them didn't even have a car. Maybe the fact that there were four segments (not counting news/SIARPC meant that none of them went on too long.

Is France really the only country that doesn't watch any British made motoring shows? It seems really weird that they wouldn't but the rest of the segment was pretty serious so I'm not sure if it was a joke or not.

Cojawfee posted:So, Top Gear US? Top Gear US would have been one long hot hatch segment interrupted only by commercials for F-150s and shaving cream, then a short supercar segment with POOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA that Tanner would drive. I thought this episode was pretty awesome, the scripting didn't bother me at all. Looking forward to the P1 next episode.

I can't imagine why they didn't go AWD with it - to save weight, I guess? It's Alfa, not Alpha. Zlatan Imhobitch posted:Because 4wd cars are boring and fail. Essentially the opposite of what an alfa should be. Argh. The P1 isn't an Alfa Romeo, it's a McLaren (which also shouldn't be AWD).

Propaniac posted:I think maybe there's confusion here between "places that force you to prepay" and "places that force you to prepay WITH CASH, ie no credit-card-at-pump option." Does anyone disagree that practically all US gas stations are the former and almost no US gas stations are the latter? Ah, I guess I got caught out by Clarkson making the point that you don't know how much you want when you pre-pay in America. That would, of course, be classic Clarkson to be completely making up bullshit to make a "point".

triple clutcher posted:I'm usually pretty good at suspending disbelief/being clueless during the scripted parts, but watching Hammond 'pilot' the 6x6 over the sand dunes was cringeworthy. That didn't happen though. They slightly messed with the camera angle to make the steep dune look a bit steeper, but I didn't see any of what you're talking about, and I just re-watched that segment to check.

Hopefully you're watching it now, but essentially they dropped the segments that they were bad at by Season 3 so it's one big long challenge. From then on it's good.
