Cool for once you are on time images/smilies/wink.gif

I was kind of busy, so I missed the first 40mins, I guess I will have to wait for the torrent.

//Dave · January 28th, 2007, 8:56 PM

Well, it's back. It's certainly back.
What a brilliant start to the new series. images/smilies/smile.gif

Blythy · January 28th, 2007, 8:58 PM

Shadowness · January 28th, 2007, 9:02 PM

Hammond jinxed the crash soo much!!

The Doctor · January 28th, 2007, 9:03 PM

Fantastic episode and I never, ever want to hear someone moan that they always test British cars on dry tracks and American cars on wet ones... images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

It's good to have the show back, but the whole roadworks thing was boring as hell.

Ah well, at least they're back! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

otispunkmeyer · January 28th, 2007, 9:04 PM

YES YES YES ITS BACK

awesome show....

the chips under the steam roller images/smilies/lmao.gif

oh god i couldnt contain myself, i thought may crushing the megaphone was good but getting him back by squashing his tea! hahaha

hammonds no fuss entry images/smilies/lmao.gif

and the crash, i thought they werent gonna show it....just bluffing, but OMG images/smilies/shock.gif

kekekeke · January 28th, 2007, 9:07 PM

Good to see the boys back, but the episode was a disappointment.

vescaegg · January 28th, 2007, 9:09 PM

wow, i felt so nervous watching that crash just because i knew what was goiing to happen. imagine how different it would have been if it didnt crash, it would just have been another feature in an episode....probably last autumn.

Mr-Stabby · January 28th, 2007, 9:10 PM

It bought tears to my eyes when it was obvious that both Hammond and Clarkson were filling up.

Brilliant episode though! Great episode to start the series images/smilies/smile.gif

matt2000 · January 28th, 2007, 9:13 PM

how can you all say that was boring. may chucking a megaphone under the roller, playing Maggie to workers, leaning on the E-stop. images/smilies/rofl.gif

svensson19 · January 28th, 2007, 9:13 PM

Tonight was probably the first time I've actually enjoyed the star in a reasonably priced car. The road works bit was slightly iffy but all in all and good episode.

VGT · January 28th, 2007, 9:14 PM

Where is the Lambo Murcie LP640 from the preview?
Is it on the next episode?

alistair_1990 · January 28th, 2007, 9:17 PM

Great to have Top Gear back and a rather good episode in my oppinion. Though they would have shown more of the crash but in a way I'm glad they didn't. Did a`nyone else think that the audience was WAY bigger than normal? It looked packed!

joris2222 · January 28th, 2007, 9:19 PM

Stupid Clarkson! The V8 Vantage is better than the XKR images/smilies/tongue.gif

Dann · January 28th, 2007, 9:23 PM

By far NOT the best episode of TG, roadworks bit was quite funny but it felt a bit forced, like they needed a "how hard can it be"-bit and couldnt come up with something better. Oliver again as star in de chevy wasnt that bad (recycling old guest's is cheap, but it was good to watch). JK vs AMV8 was good, not the best car review but it will do (I just miss some direct competition like both laptimes and a dragrace). Last and best thing was the crash, realy worth watching.

All together about a 6 out of 10. But hey, the guys are back and hope we will have a good 5 more eps. I just hope they stop with this "Look how crazy we are" attitude, it was very very fun in the begin, but it feels forced since we now almost get it every episode, hope they get back to more like 5/6/7 serie ish episodes.

Greetings,
Dann

stig_fever2409 · January 28th, 2007, 9:24 PM

That was great start to the series! I couldn't believe the things Hammond was saying as he was preparing to drive the Vampire- "(jokingly)......or this could be the biggest crash you've ever seen!" images/smilies/ohmy.gif

Jeremy was welling up near the end of the tape.The roadworks thing was the usual cocking about with Jeremy being loud and useless playing a Margaret Thatcher CD to get the workforce motivated.

And is it just me or do you think James needs a hair cut images/smilies/tongue.gif

Speedtouch · January 28th, 2007, 9:28 PM

Wow. That crash happened a lot faster than I thought. I suppose it was at 280mph, but that skid lasted all of about 5 seconds. Also, that provides proof for how quickly the emergency crews arrived there: literally just after the dust cleared.

Proves how lucky he is. How the car didn't instantly dig into the grass, and flip, disintegrating the car. It just slides forever, then tips over.

I love the last thing Jeremy says - "Proof then, that speed kills" followed by Richard checking over himself.

How can you not say that was the best episode ever. You must be retarded, or too old to not love that.
