I actually thought it was pretty good tonight, the Lancia bit especially.

Chris Evans interview was crap though, exactly the same as the last interview when he was on it last time, have they forgotten we've all seen him on it before?

Yep, the presenters and producers all need rounding up and shooting at dawn. Same shit every season.

Don't then. I think X Factor is completely shite, but I don't go on forums telling everyone I think so. There's TONNES of shite of TV I don't bother watching, ans a lot I vehemently refuse to watch point blank, but I don't know - call me a whach job, but I just don't feel the need to go on a forum and inform others of it!

Don't like it? Don't fucking watch it! Not rocket science is it

Again, you guys bitch but have NO IDEA how easy you have it.

Top Gear is the #1 show on BBC here for a reason. Speed TV shows 8 hours of "Pinks" or "Wrecked" and if you go to SpikeTV you'll get "Trucks" or some lame crap.

Last night's episode about Lancia was excellent in my books.

ROFL @ high horse. No high horse here "you twat"

So you don't watch it. That's great. You think it's boring. That too, is great.

But why do you think any of us give a fuck about what TV show you do and do like?

BTE, FYI - I can't stand East Enders, I think it's a load of unrealistic, pointless drivel with bad actors, and ultimately, boring as shit. I was DYING to tell you

I think the majority of people that don't like it are nowhere near the ages of May, Hammond and Clarkson.

I often have discussions such as theirs in the garage or watching the hockey game (football for you guys).

This car is shite, this car rocks, this road was epic. Maybe it's because that I'm 40 I can relate a bit more to the banter. I dunno. VERY, VERY few of my friends are into cars like I am. I don't get the chance to relate to them (my friends) and I find a bit of escapism in this show.

So complain away, I'll keep watching as will every honest gear head in North America.

So what would make it better then? More supercars? Better stars? More tire smoke? Better challenges? More Stig?

Or is it the same but you are just getting tired of it?

tbh just taking the repetitive ness away would help!

im not a tv producer nor am i an editor, i just think they need to change it and revamp the show tbh, as said this is IMHO....

I think last night was quite good. The build up for the Integrale was great. I kept saying "how could they miss the Teggy? I saw some Lancias I've never seen or heard of over here. Then they rolled the HF out. Would have liked to see it on the track like the old race cars versus new cars thing they did recently.

The caravan thing was a bit odd but it fit in with the Lambo story. I have no idea who the radio guy was but his car history was interesting. His lap was the usual.

Being a Lancia fan I quite enjoyed this episode...came close to a trade on an HF with my S-type a week back.

If you think it sucks then launch some "Pinks" torrents and see what I have to put up with.

Loved the Delta HF 'Grale Evo. My old man had brand new one in 1992. I was only a kid but loved it to bits. I'll try dig out a vintage photo.
