Hitting anything with spray-and-pray won't work in real world images/smilies/wink.gif

. If it's ever used, it's used inside, in small range, but even there single shots are usually prefered, since they're accurate, and you can shoot them pretty fast.

Spray-and-pray is the panic button images/smilies/wink.gif

Am I the only one to notice that? I expected there to be far more hubub about this around the forums.....?

Or am I missing the joke? images/smilies/cry.gif

Damon Hill isn't the Stig, period. I'm sure he's too busy, and he would be too expensive. Plus you don't pay tons of money for a celebrity and then hide from the audience that he's in your show. The Stig = one or more little known but good racing drivers.

dudical26 · June 27th, 2005, 02:47 PM

Was any one else upset that they didn't give the Stig a go around the track in the SLK and Boxster, I would really like to see the lap times for those cars. It would be a slightly more usefull test then to know how frequently I would get shot if I bought one.

Here is the Linky

topgearfiend · June 27th, 2005, 03:50 PM

Thanks! Appreciate it. (wish I had noticed the spoiler alert, but still very excited to see it)

As for this week's episode, I think it was by far the best one this series. Last week was hopefully the low point with that uninspired limo jump and too-long mom segment, but the three episodes before that weren't all that amazing either (remember the anticlimatic Rolls pool jump?).

I enjoyed the DB5/E Type segment (great sounds), the Porsche Boxter/SLK segment, Damon Hill was great, and now I really want a Maserati Coupe.

It was an action packed episode, definitely felt like an hour's worth of quality programming (whereas last week felt kind of thin to me). images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

You ask to see it and then complain about the spoiler alert? images/smilies/wacko.gif

If you look at the guests forehead, you see its quite sweaty. Perhaps it gets very hot in the studio, so JC rigged up some A/C?

It could be that he just had an oily forehead and they didn't put any make up on him to cover it up. It happens a lot.

ChaoZ · June 27th, 2005, 04:54 PM

Pretty good episode overall, but the video quality this week was pretty off by usual standards. The video broke up a lot of times, and near the end, everything got fuzzy.

Was it just me?

ablative · June 27th, 2005, 04:55 PM

does anybody else's have major blocky glitches in theirs? i hope there's a rerip images/smilies/sad.gif

KryptonZone · June 27th, 2005, 06:01 PM

Agreed with the quality... I was suite shocked to see those blocky things and actually thought something is SERIOUSLY wrong with my computer...

They already did in the last series.

Great episode, much better than the last few. The video quality during the Merc and Porsche segment was sluggish. I just finished the episode and my vision is really fuzzy.

LOL when Damon thought he did a 1:50!
