It's what I do best images/smilies/tongue.gif

andyhui01 · November 23rd, 2004, 1:52 AM

it sounds like TG is getting crappier and crappier as it goes into the series... the best ones are always in the beginning... like DB9 vs. train and the thing they had at the beginning of the series... 4got what it was

Overheat · November 23rd, 2004, 3:15 AM

I've notied that. But then again, when the episode comes out - even if the cars on review aren't great, they somehow manage to make everything so damned interesting! images/smilies/smile.gif

Gotta love that TG style images/smilies/smile.gif

^^ I really don't think the episodes get worse as they go on.

This weeks episode (the November 21st episode) was one of my all time favourites. Last weeks episode (November 14th) was brilliant as well. There are definetly epsidoes that are better than others, but I really don't think they progressively deteriorate as the season progresses.

mike_tseng · November 23rd, 2004, 4:12 AM

[really off topic] yeah this week was great![/lets get back on the right topic]

ive read bout the golf gti in the newest tg mag i think clarkson likes it!

i want a turbo gti know.... images/smilies/sad.gif

hee hee he said torrent *snicker*

6-series cabriolet and Golf GTI.. ah. That can't be a bad episode images/smilies/wink.gif

. The star part is just useless in every episode, most of the "stars" are some only-Brits-know-who-I-am, and as such, boring to watch. While a good idea, it's not anything new anymore.

That Christian Slater got really on my nerves in the last one. That accent and dialect was SOOO annoying.

Now you know my pain when I first watched TG! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Overheat · November 27th, 2004, 5:51 PM

Because of the British accent?

Ultra_Kool_Dude · November 27th, 2004, 7:02 PM

After watching Top Gear I find myself pronouncing words the British way. "Aston Martin" just sound better that way. 8)

Same here. Porsche is now Pors-sha. Jaguar is now Jag-Hoo-Wah or however you spell it.

And Overheat, yeah, it actually did take me awhile to train my ears to understand the British accents. Sometimes I wouldn't understand what they were saying but after 3 episodes it's very natural to hear the accent now.

Overheat · November 27th, 2004, 10:41 PM

I'm curious to how you guys pronounce the manufacturer's names originally now images/smilies/smile.gif
