Perhaps you should hop back on the gay train and ride it to the next stop. Who apart from 12 year old girls would know that? Please tell me you Googled that info!

Love Top Gear, - here in Canada my "I am the Stig" shirt gets a lot of thumbs up. You lot are spoiled over there. We get downright shafted when it comes to quality motoring programming.

However, yesterdays "Geoff" episode was poor. I have a feeling that a car or event was cancelled and it was a make up or last minute bodge.

If you want "normal" cars that are affordable buy a magazine. It just turns into a yawnfest.
"oohhhhhhh tonight we review the insignia with its new engine and later another bland city ecobox car"
turn it off if you don't like it!
I like it, its a laugh and if I want serious I'll put something else on.

Hammonds hair is unforgivable

Don't forget Hammond's hair is done by a stylist. He may not have much to work with and how he keeps it himself for off air ma....

WTF - I'm talking about some dude's hair. This is cars people. Who cares about another guys' hair?

Sideways cars, Stig, cutting and welding shite cars, driving great roads in Europe. Seriously, it's better than %98 of what else is on.

Love top gear up until resonally, there is to much acting and trying to create a laugh, the old ones did not seem as extream, that electric car pissed me of a bit. Loved the bits where they brought the 3 supercars to romania, series roads. I guess it has its up and downs like any show, loved your one in the audience behind the guest, beutiful

I do watch and enjoy most of it but some of the more recent films have been a bit crap IMO ..

Last nights electric car, the art gallery / critics and the VW Scirocco advert were patricularly bad.

I think the contrast between the Bulgaria episode and last night's travesty show that the brilliance is there, but that it needs to be consistent.

As I said, seems like this one was a bit of a minger they cobbled together. Even the ending was lame. Autocar review - really?

like any other program it becomes boring with repeated predictable formats and topics.
