yes this is my very first post on the forum, actually i've been reading threads on the forum for quite a while and finally registerd ... so to make a long story short(well not quite) ... this Top Gear special was indeed very very astonishing , but i recently reviewd the Winter Olympics and i've started to see the direction that top gear takes , then they drive tested the q7, xc90, the swift and so on, they may have been short but they were drive tests never the less. And in this tg special the only thing that i remember that was mentioned about the car that it is an astoinishing car - or he cloud talk about how is it to drive even though it was modified - right about when they reached the magnetic pole, so this brings me to my main point, is top gear - as jeremy clarkson wrote in a column one day - slowly becomeing an entertainment show featuring cars rather than a car show that was entertaining ?I mean this tg special and the american special were really great, but at least i want beside the funny road trips a bit of proper road testing , not those that you start talking about the ultra thin crankshaft the give a 15.342 per cent more power but a road test that is like the tt-brera-rx-8 trio that was again entertaining and a proper road test, Am I right ? or i've just wasted, really, about 10 mins of your life - wich i'm sorry to say ,you will never get back - while you read this really long post even thought i tried to make it short - i really did -. So to sum up is the new series going to be like the 6th 7th and ... um ... 8th series or is it going to be jeremy richard and james beeing in a car for about 15 seconds - remember the lp640 test and the zonda f test ? - and half an hour of star in a reasnobly priced car?But actually ... it'll be great, i'm sure, whatever it's going to be, road test or just a day time show. - you're confused right ? - p.s. sorry for off topic
