Mark W Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I don't honestly think he would put his life in danger like that. Plus it seemed to well filmed for a random meeting on the road.Amazing episode though.Bearing in mind how long it took them to actually pass each other, they had quite a bit of time to set up? There weren't any particularly well filmed shots there, just a lot of shit cut together really fast with a lot of it being in car footage. It looks like something that could quite easily happen on that road, and although they probably edited it to look more dangerous than it was, passing people on that road's gotta be properly shit.

Muel Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 The are paid to make it look like that though, that's the point of Top Gear. Is it random or scripted? Nobody knows.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 To add to the above, the camera car would have had to pass the car first on the road, so perhaps they realised and stopped and got the cameras out ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 A lot of James May's thing on the Insignia VXR was filmed within about 40 miles of here, I saw Long Hill (Meaning at one point he was less than 7 miles from my house), Winnets Pass and the Cat and Fiddle, amongst a few other pretty iconic roads. I think I spotted the Derwent Resevoir aswell, not sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I spotted the Derwent Resevoir aswell, not sure though. Definitely Derwent, you could see the damm with the tower on it and they were in the “Three Roofs Café” in Castleton (enjoyed some good cream teas there). For the first time for years Clarkson did actually make an intelligent comment about how many people the government would employ if they wanted to remake all the road signs, a real kick in the teeth for ‘big government’. Episode wasn’t too bad although the Lexus film was a bit OTT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Ah yeh I remember it now, I've also been in the Three Roofs Cafe a few times. I'm pretty sure that there was a shot of him on Long Hill where I nearly crashed my bike, I was going round a left hand bend that tightens up on the exit and ran onto the wrong side of the road. (Banked it over as far as I could but I was just going too fast for that corner, I'd forgotten that it suddenly tightens). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I never laughed so much as when Clarkson took the first corner in the Robin Reliant and arriving at the Reliant Owners club. Comedy gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) I loved how he parked up at the owners club on his side, then they were all so nice to him! All set up though I'm guessing.... Edited June 27, 2010 by Muel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Amazing first show of the season. I wish it would be on every week though through the year, it wouldn't be possible with the filming and that but it would be amazing. Lol at the first corner in the RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
