I'm really diggin this season so far. Feels like the cocking about has been put back to normal levels and normal service has been resumed. FUCK YES!
Hey guys. I haven't been on here in some time. I just have some comments about TG that have been bugging me for about 2 years now.
I hate how every time they review the Nissan GT-R (and lets be real here, they have had the GT-R on the show at least 10 times by now...come on...get some new cars that we fans haven't seen yet!) they mention how the tires are filled with Nitrogen. So what? Every run-of-the-mill Kia or Hyundai has nitrogen in their tires where I live.
God, how I miss when Top Gear used to be a car show where they reviewed cars. This used to be a car show. This is just a blatantly scripted comedy show now which gets less and less funny with each passing episode.
I must say though, this was the best episode in a while, in that regard.
Living in Canada, I have been torrenting Top Gear immediately when it finished airing for the last 18 seasons or so on Sunday afternoon (time zone difference). This was (by far) my favourite show. Now, in season 22, I'm depressed to say that it is now Tuesday night before I bothered to download and watch it.
Please Top Gear, bring back the "car" to this car show.
This is exactly how I feel. I gave it a 3. I watch top gear to see over the top cars on curvy roads, tracks, etc. THEY are getting more like US top gear and turning into a show of lame challenges. I have the last 2 years of US top gear on my DVR and haven't been bothered enough to watch any of them because they are rehashes of dumb challenges. I miss the format that made top gear such a big success. Maybe its time they bring in some new blood before they totally play it out..
In Canada, we use nitrogen in our tires because temperature differences of the seasons (i.e. 35 degrees C in the summer versus negative 20 degrees C in the winter) doesn't affect the tire pressure.
Normal air changes drastically.
