Fair enough. Watched a full episode today. It was edited so badly that I assumed it had an extra 15-30 minutes of shit that might've connected the various parts together rather than it normally just looking like some fan-boy splicing an episode together with MovieMaker.

It was the episode with Tiff driving the Mclaren/Mercedes SLR, going to the factory, etc. He seems like a nice guy, but he's one wooden b*****d.

I thought that series of TG was pretty shit to be honest. Actually, the worst I've seen in several years.

I think they've worn out ideas for stuff to do that's really interesting! Also I thought they were going to include the new veyron?

Yeah, there was loads of stuff in the 'coming up in this season' thing in the first episode that never actually happened :S

Remember that last Shirocco ad JC did with clips of Poland at war or something like that? I can't believe it, but some people over here feel offended by it. f**king morons. Perhaps it's just the media grabbing hold of anything they can find since the parliament is on holiday but honestly, what the f**k was there in that ad that would make anybody think "my god, this is something I should complain about".

They made a rather big deal about it here aswell.

I thought it was pretty funny.

The end of TG was pretty much "This car is nice. The economy is bad. kthnxbi."

I don't think it was saying that at all. Everyone knows the economy is bad, but it will recover - they're not saying that the credit crunch is going to end the supercar. I think it was a comment on how society as a whole is moving to vilify sports cars as an expensive, vain, environmentally-terrible, accident-causing evil.

"HEY LOOK, WE GOT A V12 ASTON, A V10 LAMBO AND A V8 FERRARI LOL"

She was certainly not a super model. A super model and glamour model are worlds apart.

I really thought that was the best episode of TG they've ever made! :)

The whole episode was funny, captivating, factual (ish as always), and inspiring. They cut out so much of the usual B-S, apart from the one staged crash with the Dacia Sandero - but even that I thought was comically brilliant.

Loads of casual racism towards the US, and Romania, a funny guest, a great section on the 7-series and the Merc, a hilarious trip through Romania (how awesome were the tunnels through the Parliament building..), and an amazing drive on those wicked roads at the end (I seriously intend on purchasing a sports car and taking a roadtrip there next summer).

Plus it was in HD - what more do you want!
