No torrent talk, or you get an instant 2-week ban. INCLUDING LINKS.

Otherwise, discuss!

Great Launch! bad landing images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I wonder if it was intentional/scripted that the shuttle wouldnt seperate?

CyberSol · February 18th, 2007, 08:09 PM

loved the rocket bit! "how are you gonna use it again?"8)

hype · February 18th, 2007, 08:09 PM

good ep, suprised the shuttle went that far lol

Henk · February 18th, 2007, 08:09 PM

The "orbiter" was awesome. A shame I missed Jeremy drive the F430. Great episode. =)

swek · February 18th, 2007, 08:09 PM

The end of the Reliant Robin segment was truly tragic. At first I thought it was just the usual cocking about with the end result being some half-finished POS. But man when it took off I hoped it would work. Too bad.

alistair_1990 · February 18th, 2007, 08:10 PM

Great episode, decent car reviews while still being at the cutting edge of cocking about. How well did that Robin fly?! Shame it didn't detach properly, and top gear dog lives! lol

Mr-Stabby · February 18th, 2007, 08:10 PM

Much more like the Top Gear from the last 2 years this one. Some really good car reviews mixed with some screwing about.

That Reliant though, like James i really wanted it to work lol

Yes so was I. It was very very awesome it did go that far tho. 8)

ruuman · February 18th, 2007, 08:11 PM

wow, that was absolutely brilliant, can't fault a single part. Really enjoyed Simon Pegg. The rocket challenge was top, so close as well, I can't believe how well that flew. Going into my top 5 favourite episodes.

dinp · February 18th, 2007, 08:12 PM

I really didnt think the Robin would go as well as it did, it was truly awesome! Ok, the landing wasn't exactly calm, but who cares, it was ace!

137MilestoNürburg · February 18th, 2007, 08:13 PM

Great episode! Nice review of the Brabus roadster, and i was laughing my ass off as Jeremy destroyed that Ducati on the Cool Wall images/smilies/biggrin.gif

The Top Gear space program was absolutely mental, who comes up with this stuff? images/smilies/tongue.gif

What a huge load of plonkers who decided to add that ad to the top of the screen near the end, the huge plonkers images/smilies/wink.gif

matt2000 · February 18th, 2007, 08:14 PM

that was really great. shuttle started good, but fell to earth like a banana. i'm surprised i didn't hear the explosion when it was filmed images/smilies/lol.gif

it really looked the part too, just a shame that a bolt let them down. rest of the show eas good, with 2 reviews of good cars and a brilliant star made it overall a great ep IMO. would have been made better by seeing James in the tunnel when it was turned to full power...

The return of TG dog too!!!

Dann · February 18th, 2007, 08:14 PM

Sweet episode, realy nice, just to bad the it didnt detach... Best normal (excluding the us special) episode of the serie sofar images/smilies/biggrin.gif

otispunkmeyer · February 18th, 2007, 08:14 PM

that was pretty good.

i have to admit, that for the first time i was actually abit disappointed with the "car review" sections.

i dont mind it when there isnt any, i dont mind when they do cars that no one can afford.

but this weeks reviews were just abit, meh, i mean they were informative, but i dunno. the brabus one especially just didnt work for me, it just didnt click, and they were both done by JC on his own using 2 german behemoths. the filming for the porsche was some of the best i have seen, good choice to do it during the night, very good indeed. was a shame not to see the 911 turbo go round the track, because i have a feeling that it would be pretty fucking fast. shame also that they never did really compare the new turbo to the F430.

the "3-wheeler shuttle" was the best bit, TGD in the wind tunnel images/smilies/biggrin.gif

, i would of probably liked it more if they just padded that out for the whole show. the launch look "fake" at first. i thought nahh thats been chopped for sure. but they had on board shots, and the rocket men seemed genuinely elated so i guess it was real. ohhh and 10/10 for landing... lol big explosion is the way to go.

news was good
simon pegg was good
cool wall was good

Brabus review = poo
911 turbo review was good but lacked the TG test track lap.

infact even if james or hammond had done the Brabus review that would of made it better.

so yeah the brabus review seemed a little disjointed, a bit forced, but overall it was another slick show. the film reel, editing, music selection everything was tip top as per the usual

I know, didn't think the BBC did that ah well

upyourego · February 18th, 2007, 08:15 PM

That was a brilliant episode - great mix of cars and cock images/smilies/smile.gif

This is Top Gear at its best - providing a bit of something for everyone - the petrolheads in it for the reviews and those watching for the fun.

IceBone · February 18th, 2007, 08:16 PM

FINALLY the new Evo gets mentioned in the news. I lubs it so much! Glad they did too! images/smilies/smile.gif
