AndrewEH1 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Better than last episode but the whole fake 'running away' thing is kind of getting old. Mum was watching a soap so I couldn't watch it, been eagerly waiting all week... iPlayer yo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yeah, this road trip lacked focus. There wasn't much information about anything, be it the location or the cars and them running away is getting a bit old. Also the news segment featured one car, the rest was just filler. At least there haven't been any silly episodes yet where all the three do is make fools out of themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I find the silly episodes to be the best ones. I agree about that road trip though, it seemed to tell less of a story than they usually do, just a random collection of events. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Didn't think that much of it to be honest, didn't hate it or love it really. That Lexus gave me funny feelings in my rude parts and I don't usually like supercar type machines. Agree with others it lacked any reason, think most top gears have been like that for a few years thou. Always prefer the 'you have a xxx budget to buy something'. Loads better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Really liked this episode haha, although it wasn't really my favourite. My favourite are the ones where they get cheap cars and go 2000 miles and modify them etc, I wish they played more pranks on each other like they used to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 That road with grooves that makes noises is the most pointless thing I've ever heard, only in a 'merica ayyyye. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yeah but it was pretty cool, sure I've seen it on something else but I can't remember what.I enjoyed the first episode but was pretty indifferent to this weeks, just seemed not to be any point to it whatsoever though to be fair it's not surprising they're running out of ideas. And the laser quest skit went on for far too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials owns Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yeah, It was pretty bang on the money this week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Twas alright, I was a bit disappointed they used the Mustang though. They're impressive but clearly a worse GT car than a Rover 200. Clarkson usually turns up in whatever is the fastest thing on the planet at that moment.Hammond said it was about 10 years since the last big race, it wasn't at all, it was in December 2005.Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed it though. I especially liked the bits when Amy Macdonald was speaking. Mmmmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Race was okay, glad to see Clarkson loose for once and their wasn't much fake suspense/jeopardy like there usually is which was good Never realised Amy Macdonald was massively into cars. She was speaking very slowly though, I suspect so the English could understand. Edited February 11, 2013 by AndrewEH1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Was a bit meh I thought. Standard 'oh someone is going to win easily oh no wait its really close' race and not a lot else. Can't even remember the rest of the show, apart from feeling like I should fancy Amy McDonald due to her love of cars, but thinking she was a bit of a wet lettuce.

Muel Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Eh? No-one have said they haven't liked it, and not one person has not had anything good to say.Reading between the lines, each comment has actually said something along the lines of "Not bad, but not great".

Rob. Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) just read through again yeah your right about that but if people are not enjoying it maybe they should leave it and watch something else? if im not making sense probably because i am trying to revise for my heating exam tonight i enjoyed last nights but yeah it was missing something...

HippY Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I think it is missing the excitement. I mean, as Clarkson usually turns up in whatever is the fastest thing on the planet at that moment, and the other guys are turning up in a different but intresting car, or stupid in case of Hammond, but al you saw that they are driving these cars in special situation and making funny situations kinda related to the car. Now they are just going on some awesome car. but there are not too funny situations. neither a good story, or anything. It is just missing what made it the best series in the world, a series, what my mum, who is completely is not intrested in the cars, could enjoy, and petrolheads more.

AdamR28 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Enjoyed it tonight! Funny, entertaining, less scripted and some 'real' cars for a change. Hopefully they'll get Vettel back at some point to prove Lewis is the quickest, haha... The way he got through the 2nd to last corner was sublime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I agree, much preferred tonight's episode. Seampt like a vast improvement, if a tiny bit let down by Hammond in Mexico. Not suprised by Lewis being quickest, but wasn't expecting it that quick! Always thought he was one of the quickest over one lap. I kinda wish his interview was longer though :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Overall good, bit too much handbrake chat though...especially since two of them are over 50, it's a bit too cringe inducing for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
