| FinalGear Forza 2 Time Attack Winner | Bit disappointed with the episode. Seems like they are still going in the same direction as the Top Gear Ground Force special. ![]() |

| The supercar test was a bit dull, but otherwise... pretty good episode.

Rep Power: 19 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Especially the police-car bit had me wildly laughing ... but the rest was also not bad. The stunt-bits we are going to see in the future are really "classic-TG", but I could live without them, I guess. The guests were terrible ... but at least they had them at once ... not to imagine if those two had been on seperate shows ... The Rest was good ... didn´t knock me out of my seat ... but didn´t want me changing the channel neither. The preview at the start made me kind of sceptic though ... not much I really crave in there, unlike the previous series(es?). 7/10 I´d rate it ... the police-car-bit made up for a lot ...

Rep Power: 8 ![]() | The first 15 mins reminded us what we were missing during the off. Take out the guests and stupid stuntman from this episode and its a 9/10 IMO. And yes Top Gear IS back !

| I rate it as an 8... The police segment had me in tears - had to watch it again & again & again... The stars weren't too bad (there's been worse) Supercar fuel saving tips was entertaining as was the Prius V M3. The 430 segment was OK but not brilliant. As others have said the editing was a bit "different" in this episode. Stunt man? WTF Looked a bit too low rent - Like about Season 5 standard... Awesome to have TG back! Had about 8 mates turn up tonight to watch it - watched the Botswana special on SBS and then flicked straight onto the new episode! | |

Rep Power: 4 ![]() ![]() ![]() | I nearly died laughing during the cop car segment! And the last challenge where they had to try and catch The Stig nearly killed me... i mean, it's The Stig we're talking about! And after Jezza's wheel came off and the camera switched to The Stig, I could almost hear the stig going "Wait a minute, i thought it was supposed to be my wheel that gets busted, not Jeremy's!" SIARPC was pretty okay for me. I don't really know who the 2 of them were, but I overall i think it was quite tolerable and entertaining to a certain point. (I LOL-ed pretty loudly when the long-haired guy was singing and then he suddenly went , and when the other bloke's car didn't move at the start because he forgot about the handbrake.)Top Gear Stuntman - I'm sorry, but this part was a real no-no for me. Didn't like it at all. The 5 Supercars race was awesome. Just looking at the 5 cars sitting on the track was good, then they got going (albeit on 1 gallon of fuel only), and it just got better for me. oh, and one thing i didn't really understand was James' and Richard's reactions when Jezza showed them the bottle of Vaseline. I mean I know vaseline can get quite gross at times, but IMO they seemed somehow... really disgusted (don't know if it's the right word). But other than that, I think it was a good episode. Can't wait for the next one! |

| 7/10. Ok but not the best. The SIARPC segment brought this episode down for me. I almost considered a score <5 because of it. Fortunately it ended and the rest was ok. I also wasn't expecting to actually see the face of the stuntman. I figured they would conceal his identity like they've done with the Stig. Perhaps see him emerge from a coffin full of bubble-wrap...or better yet, exit the caravan before it is promptly destroyed by another caravan landing on it! The police demonstration looked quite good in theory but it didn't seem all that realistic. It felt like they were trying, perhaps a bit too hard, to prove they're not as soft as they're made out to be (when it comes to stopping cars). Informative but a tad dull. Overall, quite a good episode but I suspect they're lowering our expectations before blowing us out of the water in the coming episodes.

Rep Power: 26 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I like it. Overall I gave it a 7/10. The stars were the worst I've seen on top gear. The ultimate way I rate an episode of top gear is its "re-watchability" so we'll see how this one holds up in time. That said, I found it really funny, at one point I was laughing so hard it resulted in a coughing attack. ![]() I was almost on the floor after James used his "paint weapon" on the Stig and then he just flipped on his wipers with the kind of reaction like "did he really think this was going to work?" hahaha I've been saying this for a few seasons now so for the upcoming series I really hope that they feature some more reviews of normal/average cars. Those bits tend to be the most funny to me. If it's an entertainment show based around cars that's fine, but it doesn't have to be all flash, explosions, and stunts to be entertaining. Some of the best moments in top gear featured reviews/tests/challenges of normal cars. Last edited by airmenair; June 23rd, 2008 at 02:47 PM.. |

| Vaseline is often used to ...ahem... lubricate certain body parts when needed... | |

| I think you people are all being abit harsh on the Stars in the reasonably priced car this week. Lets face it, alot of the people on this forum have not got a clue who they are, but I think Alan and Justin were not the worst stars Top Gear have ever had on by a long shot.
