It's entertainment. Rehearsed yes, set up yes..............but it's an hours telly that entertains you. I personally think Clarkson and Hammond are ace, it's the long haired twat who's a damp squib on it.

You get to see cars that the majority of us will never be able to afford (Lambo's Ferrari's et al) and like I said - it's entertainment.

Will always watch Top Gear when I can...

Admittedly, it has gone from a factual car prog, to a light hearted entertainment program with a bit of cars thrown in, but still, it's a good laugh for an hour!

LMFAO @ Stig in the petrol station!

I thought it was okay

The two Liverpool guys doing the street/rooftop running thing were superb - the guy in the white top especially : he had NO fear at all and was doing some pretty impressive jumps n twists!

I did want to smack Clarkson one during the build of the Caterham tho

I think James is the best out of the three to be honest. Clarksons a bit of a knob, cant stand the way Hammond sucks air in between his teeth just before he says EVERY sentence James is quite 'dry' and funnyISH

It's an hours worth of mindless telly and it isn't a soap or some "lets see some z list celebs eat shit, fall off horses and try and dance or ice skate or sommat more shit!!" TV that seems to control every station on a weekend these days.
I still enjoy it tbh

proper smooth. wonder how many takes though It's ALL about the roll at the end of the jump. Transferring downwards motion to forwards motion. I could probably clear a newstand, but a car.....
