Im self employed,and finished work early tonight,because according to rumours on Passionford it was going to be a great/brill/cracking episode.Well it was ok,but no better than other episode's and worse than some.Wished I had stayed working,as the show tonight was'nt worth the money I lost due to coming home early!!!!

ON the plus side,for FORD,not me,how good of an ad was the Fiesta bit at the end???If FORD was to do that and show it on telly it would have cost them millions!Top Gear or Clarkson really does love FORD 100%!!Regards,Micky

Not a bad episode IMO. I was in shock when that Caterham R500 went round the track quicker than a veyron!

Not the best episode by a mile

BUT....it was worth watching for the Stig spanging the Caterham....awesome driving

and the Fiesta review was both funny and great news, looks a smashing little car does the fiesta!

I think people are perhaps expecting too much from Top Gear. You can't have the BEST EVER show every single week

On the whole it's a fantastic show, including this season.

didnt think much of last nights show, the first bit was pretty good but not the best. The Communist cars bit went on for far too long though.

Caterham was super cool.... why did Caterham give them a car on road tyres with the synchro box?!?!?!!?!? when they do an R500 with Track tyres and sequential box though?

FAST as fuck though... and how much fun did it look

thought the rest was pony to be honest

afaik they arent allowed to change the tyres on the day, so sending them a car on a048rs at this time of year is a risky strategy!
