Viper hasn't created a thread yet and I can't post in the subforum, so I hope we can discuss the episode here and viper can move it into it's spot!

What a super episode! I absolutely loved it!
Great challenge, a JM & RH segment, super end of the series

Best one of the series, definitely.

Good funny moments, good amount of cars, good guest, just brilliant really. Loved the mini FIA-GT3 race at the end. The Mini race was very well filmed too! The little digs at the Germans were classic, I laughed out loud at "first person to get their towel on the sunlounger" and James releasing gravel from his trousers!

Classic.

thought the way the TG presenters arrived in the Top Gear v D Motor challenge was awesome.

Solid episode

Jap Cars
Likes this. 2 resonably consise reviews by May. Wish they hadnt played the "James got lost" card but interesting none the less. In fact they could of done an entire episode based on Japanese car culture (reminicent of the "Clarksons car world" from years ago which was great) decided to fill it with the GTR race.

News
Not bad. Better than most this series

Gumpert.
Hammond doing a review is a pleasent surprise.

JK
Overplayed. I agree with the other thread about 5 laps then time the 6th though.

Germans
Good in places, awful in others. When will the jingoistic English (lowest denominator) realise that the WW's were YEARS ago. Same as the '66 World Cup. By all means play jokes on EACH other, but I felt a bit for the Germans that they were set up. When did hte Germans actually take the piss out of the English? I'd be interested to see the German TV equivilent to see how (badly) edited our version was. Result felt staged especially the Bowlers. Which was a shame.

7/10
