Alfa challenge: felt forced. Not just scripted but forced. It was funny but there were so many times when you just knew what was going to happen because we've seen it all before. Bentley review was good. I loved the news, my favourite segment by far. James laughing after "Great news!" - hilarious SIARPC was average, I usually don't enjoy it.

I found the below response to skylock's rather inane point quite funny, especially since she called me an idiot. Quote:

Hmm, you found this post on a blog or is it your own blog? Thats twice you have posted about it now. I do agree with many points you made on it though and the person in that message hasn't exactly covered themselves in glory.

I fully understand this, and I think it is principled and proper that you stand up for your own, and for those whose opinions that you agree with. Especially when so much is at stake. I posted the link only to add an alternate perspective, and not necessarily one I agree with. Life is always a little more fun when when you fly in the face of a forum's unilateralism. People are entitiled to take Top Gear as seriously as they like... as long as its very seriously. |

I just got the chance to watch it and I loved it! This is what Top Gear is about. I loved seeing the old Alfa's and I couldn't stop laughing the whole time. Well done guys!

I know this may sound a bit odd/creepy/whatever, but... the girls at 51:27 (who are also behind Jeremy during the news) are pretty

Just something I wanted to add about this episodes "I found this on the internet". I believe that on this one, they actually showed the picture where the man does the Range Rover.
Here, I made a screenshot and zoomed in on the tv: ![]() I know it's very blurry, but if you compare this picture to the original, it becomes quite obvious that it must have been this picture. Looks like they put a black bar over his best piece though. [removed -- just Google for that image of a guy sticking his dick in a Range Rover's exhaust pipe]

I finally got it... I Finally realised why this episode was below par!!!
You see, coming from Australia i either have to download it or wait for a few months to see it, HOWEVER for you guys over there in the UK, this particular epsiode had the misfortune of being up against the brittish GP earlier that arvo and the Biggest tennis match of the year, and if i was a top gear producer, i too wouldnt put my best reviews and films on to be wasted on a mere ~3mil(??) viewers. Instead id wait a week to put on the EPIC race and top reviews when i know a 5mil figure is more likely... So whilst this episode wasnt as good as i have come to expect, i can forgive the team this time..A massive tennis match is hard to compete against.. even if you threw in the EPIC race instead of the alfa cocking about (on a side note, They Could of had the 8c review on this episode and made it fully alfa-centric - and had the GTR review along with the epic race for a GTR-centric 11x04) |

Whose poll of attractive racing drivers was that? Was that one of ours? I know it's a VB one, just not if it's an FG.com one.

Thanks Blayde. I've been so busy ignoring most of the stupid threads that n00bs here have been starting that I thought it possible to simply have missed a thread like that by mistake.

One thing I want to put out during the Alfa Romeo challenge is that the producers (who naively think that Alfa Romeo cars are rubbish) were idiots for stating that Alfa Romeo was founded in 1743, while in truth it was founded in 1910.
That clearly shows that the producers are not as smart as they seem. |
