Can't believe it's over already.

Love the supercharger whine.

The ute is the same car, Dicky

"You big daft cock."

I love it when Jezza and Jimmy are together.

James crosses out the minstrel joke.

Loses his arm.

"Boom headshot."

Pigeon.

God I hate Leno. He missed 2nd to last.

Long show... Vantage V12, beautiful cinematography.

WillDAQ · August 2nd, 2009, 9:02 PM

Some very scripted bits, some very funny bits and some very odd bits.

Advert segment had me laughing out loud a few times inspite of it being at the very extremes of cocking about.

Cool wall was a little bit over the top.

Pie Key!

Aston segment had amazing cinematography but made little sense.

stiggles · August 2nd, 2009, 9:02 PM

The V12 Vantage film is weird. Almost as if it's the end. Beautifully shot though.
Hilarious, though, all the way through.
Pie. Key.

Blythy · August 2nd, 2009, 9:03 PM

best of the series in my book. I feel sad for recognising sniff petrol as the ad voiceovers.... (which were fucking hilarious)

After watching the Vantage, it almost felt as if they were signing off the series altogether.

It's a worry isn't it, it was quite a distinct film, like a Top Gear version of "fin".

Andeh · August 2nd, 2009, 9:05 PM

That Vantage section really did feel like the end of TG...

Brilliant however.

I had the same feeling...

Overall quite solid today.

M3_Powered · August 2nd, 2009, 9:05 PM

The ending was very interesting, makes you think.

svensson19 · August 2nd, 2009, 9:05 PM

When Clarkson says "This feels like an ending". I've got to say it got me thinking what he actually meant. Was it just an ending for this series. Or perhaps the end entirely. Hmmmm

James May's Laugh · August 2nd, 2009, 9:05 PM

The Vantage film was kind of like the end of topgear.... But It isn't because Jeremy said that Schumacher is available because he doesn't need to test cars untill novemeber...

yup, the music, the scenery. what Clarkson said about the current situation, it had the feeling that the series was reaching its final moments.

I got that feeling as well. I was half expecting him to announce he was quitting.

That's the exact feeling I got, the music seemed to set the tone for the whole bit, I had goosebumps expecting Jeremy to say 'And on that bombshell, this will be the last episode' or something like that...

God, I hope I'm wrong...

intoxicatedpete · August 2nd, 2009, 9:06 PM

I haven't laughed that much during an episode in a long time. And that Aston clip was absolutely amazing.

I hope they're not canceling the show... You get a sense of that during the last clip

Hafez · August 2nd, 2009, 9:07 PM

No worries people

They're back soon

Hopefully with all of the presenters!

Dan9-1 · August 2nd, 2009, 9:07 PM

That Vantage film killed me.....

I can't say anymore than that

Martyn · August 2nd, 2009, 9:09 PM

The use of the track "An ending" by Brian Eno was quite clever.

That track makes anything amazing!

Like others have said though, it did make me think that maybe that's it for Top Gear! Though that blog article suggests otherwise!
