Too much GT-R....

_HighVoltage_ · July 12th, 2008, 10:02 PM

Hang on, if the series does in fact have only 6 episodes - when do we get to see the Chinese crap cars from the preview, the orange SUV review, Richard in the Bowler Nemesis and Clarkson in the WW2 Fighters?

anti-net · July 12th, 2008, 10:12 PM

Hmmm GT-R on a track will be good and so will the old cars comparing from the spoilers we've seen it looked quite interesting. SIARPC properly won't be that good though, Lets see if there's anything else like the cool wall!

Maybe not all of the segments are written into each episode description, but yeah it seems like a lot left to show. Clarkson in the WW2 fighters is part of the Top Gear Brits vs. Top Gear Germans which because of how good (we hope) it'll be will be saved for last. Id say the same for the Bowler nemesis.
The Japanese cars by Mitsuoka, idk, i hope they feature, interesting things.
The orange SUV, which is the Jeremy and Richard Daihatsu Materia Fox hunt, they'll have to show it. Either ep 5 and wasn't mentioned or 6.
Remember that this is the first season of 08 so there wont be any top gear awards stuff leaving about 10 minutes free for one of those segments.

After cutting may be they did not work out so well and got the chop - shooting at Richard skit anyone?

Speaking of richard skit, there was also a fragment that showed richard on some japanese personal transport thing, maybe that has bitten the dust like the being shot at skit

Q. If your house was on fire, what would you save?
A. My Ferrari

Q. Whats the most expensive thing you've ever bought?
A. My Maybach. I spent blah blah thousands on extras.

So basically the twat either name drops or alludes to the fact he has copious amounts of money in every sentence. MORON, no class. I hope some dodgy critter is paying attention to all the money he apparently has and kidnaps his sorry ass for a ransom sometime soon.
The first thing he'd save is his ferrari? Yeah, and let all the photos and other sentimental items burn because an insurance-covered sports car is all one is? Utter pillock.

Labcoatguy · July 13th, 2008, 09:06 PM

Hopefully this will shut up all the people who've been complaining about the lack of James May: he gets half an entire segment to himself, and no Hammond either.

James May's Hair · July 13th, 2008, 09:53 PM

So let's get this clear: he keeps his Ferrari in the house? This man is a puddle of duckspunk. (As you will all see...)

Next episode thing at http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/nextepisode.shtml

Next episode
People of Britain be warned - Clarkson and May have been car shopping and now they're coming to town near you...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/images/homepage_grosser.jpg

Jeremy and James recently bought themselves a couple of classic luxury limos. Jeremy plumped for a Mercedes 600 'Grosse', the preferred transportation of the world's most discerning despots. James, on the other hand, went for the full 'Tarbuck' and filled his driveway with a Rolls-Royce Corniche Coupe.

To see if buying either of these cars was a good idea, we've set the presenters a couple challenges that'll see them take to both the track and the streets of London.

Also, as Jeremy found out in last week's show, it's almost impossible to discover the Nissan GT-R's limits on the road. So this week Clarkson will be unleashing the big Datsun on a Japanese race circuit.

And, a pair of dragons get their claws on our reasonably priced car.

Sunday 20 July, 8pm BBC Two

Looking forward for this one

They've still got to fit the fox-hunt in somewhere too.

Mineworksfine · July 14th, 2008, 02:11 PM

Can't tell what hue the inside of that Grosse is, but surely for the full Despot look the car has to be black?

Imagine a deleted scene from "The Last King of Scotland" as the local dealer turns up with Amin's new 600 Grosse and brings a green one - Idi would have gone apeshit!

Aiolos · July 14th, 2008, 03:38 PM

I remember Theo in Fifth Gear and how he broke the S65 AMG during the review after doing a couple donuts. What a cock.

I can not STAND these people at all. When you see Peter Jones, try not to laugh at him, as he once said in an interview that he believes he's very attractive to the opposite sex. Yeah, in the same way that a dog is attracted to a lamp-post.

One of the great things about Top Gear is that you are safe from shitty celebrities. Now I have to tolerate Fiona Bruce and these cocksplashes two weeks in-a-row. None of the guests in this series have been any good; none of the guests in this series have any passion for cars and now these TWATS turn up. SIARPC has really dragged this series down - it really has been the weakest part of the show.

Jeremy and James in the luxury cars sounds like fun, though.

I agree

Wow, I've never heard of the guy but now I just hate him already.

I'll usually watch it on the first viewing of the episode... but for the most part I'll skip it on subsequent viewings (unless it was a particularly funny interview, which most of SE11 havnt been images/smilies/mellow.gif

)
