Better then last week IMO, Art Gallery and the Bugatti were quite good.

Blythy · February 4th, 2007, 07:58 PM

better than last week, it's picked up a lot.

and james in the veyron was great.

Mr-Stabby · February 4th, 2007, 07:59 PM

I have to admit it too. The Alfa Brera is probably the worst car there, but DEAR GOD I WANT ONE!

I own an Alfa 147 and its awful, but i love it to bits!

Great show this week, just the right mix of car reviews and a bit of screwing about. Couldn't stand Hugh Grant of course though! And they didn't mention the crash, fantastic. Hope the ratings are still as good!

Cosworth · February 4th, 2007, 07:59 PM

Art Gellery segemnt was hilarious, listening to Jeremy talk about how his trousers weren't very bauhaus had me in knots after being force fed modernism for the last year in college !

vescaegg · February 4th, 2007, 07:59 PM

i didnt think much of this episode. the bugatti was good (if a bit short). but the coupes was boring i thought.......and plugging hugh grants film (for what felt like an eternity!!!!) was not what i expected of top gear.....bad bad bad plugging....bad!

IceBone · February 4th, 2007, 08:00 PM

the art gallery was hilarious, the veyron with the star wars music was amazing, but i think my favourite bit was the "cow gti in racing overalls" comment, hehe. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I'm just disappointed they still haven't mentioned the new mitsubishis in the news. images/smilies/sad.gif

KryptonZone · February 4th, 2007, 08:00 PM

it's fun! loved it! the veyron bit was a tad short, but it was amazing no less, plus they've done it already. now im hoping they will get it on the track soon! come on rich people, lend them the car! the coupe's were fun too, love the three cars, although i prefer the tt a lot more! hugh was just, just amazing! absolutely funny! :p

whats this about top gear special next week?!

edit: yeah just remembered its the whole american thing images/smilies/smile.gif

aloha62_2 · February 4th, 2007, 08:00 PM

well that was dull, fairly heartless Bugatti top speed thing, boring as hell car-in-a-star* extremely boring almost cringeworthy gallery thing at the end.

*i hate that feature, its like a 15min advertisement in the middle of the show.

worst episode for the past 4 years i think.

|ntegr4L · February 4th, 2007, 08:00 PM

Well, maxing the Veyron was awesome, Hugh Grant was great, but the 3 coupes was nothing like the past. In the past, they would have driven each others car, they would have done a lot of challenges and so on. No they just gave them to the Stig and that was it. Lot of fun though! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Dann · February 4th, 2007, 08:00 PM

Sweet episode, nothing bad to say really. Veyron was nice (although we still havent seen it on the track), Coupe test was very good (combined the funny stuff with the roadtest stuff) and a star that non uk residents also know images/smilies/biggrin.gif

espadaMK · February 4th, 2007, 08:01 PM

The train crash appears to have been dropped, I guess they extended the coupés and Hugh Grant instead.

GraemeH · February 4th, 2007, 08:02 PM

Good balance of cocking about/car reviews.

hype · February 4th, 2007, 08:04 PM

good ep, hugh grant is a twat tho

Cobol74 · February 4th, 2007, 08:06 PM

I thought that it was better than last week. Veyron could have been a bit longer and a tad too much film plugging for Hugh Grant's film. It did feel like a section had got lost so perhaps a bit of filler to cover the train crash. Good fun overall tho'.

//Dave · February 4th, 2007, 08:07 PM

Good episode, glad it's picking up again. images/smilies/thumbup.gif

James in the Bugatti Veyron was good to see, he's probably right though: we possibly won't see him going so fast again images/smilies/tongue.gif

Disappointed really that they swapped Simon Pegg for Hugh Grant (unless that was in fact some mistake when announce but hey). Also disappointed they cut off the planned Public Information film by Jeremy in light of recent events, even though Sky's synopsis reported it as going ahead. images/smilies/blink.gif

Best comment of the episode has to go to the Stig this time round; 'Some say that he once had a vicious knife fight with Anthea Turner and that he is in no way implicated with the cash-for-honours scandal. All we know is he's called, Lord Stig!'

M3_Powered · February 4th, 2007, 08:07 PM

Good episode, I Liked it. The Veryron was great & the colour = images/smilies/drool.gif

Henk · February 4th, 2007, 08:08 PM

Bugatti part was awesome, but the coupe-part I thought was a bit dull. When they (well Jeremy for that matter) said:"That's it for tonight!", I thought: "That's all?". Wasn't as fun as I expected/hoped it to be.

sl55 amg · February 4th, 2007, 08:09 PM

I thought this was a really great episode, was laughing so much at the news.

It felt like the top gear of the past, perfect mix of reviews and comedy, was about 5 mins shorter than usual after they dropped the train bit, it was top gear on top form IMO.

upyourego · February 4th, 2007, 08:11 PM

Not as good as last week - as already mentioned the Veyron was brilliant but the Coupe Test just didn't do it for me - I laughed out loud at the golfing and gallery but the rest didn't live up to previous 3 way reviews.

Oh and the selling out by making an advert for Hugh Grants new film in the middle of Top Gear wasn't worth it for having Hugh on the show.
