Best episode this series! 10/10!

Every year i go to ski in Val Thorens, it was funny to see the same route on the show!
 
In my opinion, not the best episode ever. The Jaguar XFR was a good review, and the news made me laugh. "I'm sorry, I've run your dog over... in my Jaaag."
The tasks were funny, I admit, but not the best ever.

6/10

Does anyone remember the M5 review Jeremy did a couple of years back? I have watched it several times since, and I think it's absolutely one of the best they've done on Top Gear.

Yep. That's definitely one of my favourite reviews on TG.

The XFR bit wasn't, however. Visually it was stunning, and their experiment with blurring some of the footage was good I think. But why have Top Gear confined themselves to almost ONLY doing the reviews at the track?

I have to agree with you. They don't need to test every single car on the track. I'm thinking the XFR could've made for a fantastic road test.

On a related note, where's James's contribution to the car review department this series?

The greenhouse bit. What the fuck? They made some sort of weird connection between that bit and the XFR bit that I would have thought only a politician could make. It wasn't that it was bad, it was just totally out of place.

That part was quite strange, too.

Did anyone else hear the 'you're having a crisis there' line from the SIARPC segment? ROFL

You forget the time Hammond went to the shit factory?

Or the fuel economy "tests" in 11x01? ("It isn't what you drive that matters; it's how you drive it.") Or Jeremy's eco-run in the Audi A8 in 4x04? Or the eco-race from Basel to Blackpool in 12x04?

though i didn't quite get the whole joke with the jaag!!! i guess its a british thing anybody care to explain. Jeremey epically failed the green house test, and sienna miller was a stunner and quite a guest on the show. i loved how the they kept on calling that car the " what is that shit box".

I thought the "Jaaaaaaag!" thing was almost a making-fun-of the way we say Jaguar in the States ("Jaaag-warr" instead of "Jag-you-ar").

As for the "shit box" thing...Brits, can you say "shit" before the watershed now? Or can it escape the censors if it's coupled with another word, ("shit box", "shit disturber"; but not "bullshit")?

Sienna Miller was a much more entertaining guest that I'd imagined. A very nice surprise there.

I found the cheap RWD challenge a bit meh, overall. Most of the entertaining bits about it centred around the Marina, plus Jeremy mending stuff without the tool of the pikey for once.

8/10.

Sienna Miller, Absolute Spunk. The second part of the challenge in the snow was 10/10. The vehicle graphics were a scream. "COQ" "Phart industries" "Les Bien" "Merde de fromage" I can't remember the other 2. James' accidental double meaning during the news. GOLD.

Dude, you do realise "spunk" means something quite different in the UK? :lol:

Though very possibly something entirely appropriate, under the circumstances... :lol:

I said earlier, i suspect everything's being tested on the track because it costs more to film on public roads. Shame, but that's recession for ya - another reason to hate the wankers bankers!:rolleyes:
The Jaaag thing is because that's the way a lot of posh or wannabe posh people here in the UK would say it
 
A VXR Bathurst they spoke about it during the news in one of the first episodes.
 
6/10, the weakest of the series so far I thought. Really didn't like the scripted humour in the first segment of the coupe challenge, it seemed far too rushed and unnatural. I appreciate that some of it has to be scripted but they can do better than that imo.
 
x/10. I did enjoy that jaggg part, and that clarkson invention. And that nissan 300zzzzzzzz, which looks like bugatti eb110. And that snow. And, you are fucking bitch fucker shit, you all are. you all! but hey wait, i can't comment anymore, i just remembered i forgot to turn my jagg engine off.

well, as far as im concerned, "if it aint broke, dont fix it!"

what we got here was a CLASSIC TG eppisode. all i can say is that i was purly entertained for the whole show, hell, im not even going to try and break it down to explain segments. just good old Top Gear. period.

10/10 (thank you Andy for keeping it pure)

as far as those people that are complaining about stupid things they do or whatever you bitch about on this epp, look, this is what the Boys are known for. this is what they do. they screw around and make a mess of almost everything while having a blast doing it and it is almost never a better format than to put them into 3 old ass cars that we all know are going to break one way or another, and force them to torcher them untill its over. as far as the driving on ice segment, If you expected them to actually take part in that race, well, your a moron. Thats PURE Top Gear. the end.
 
One more comment. I think Topgear should do some proper cinema movie, i mean for example Johnny English kind of plot, Clarkson is Bean, May is baddie, lot of cars. Richard is his boyfriend maybe. Writer and producer is clarkson and andy. something like that, just an idea :mrgreen:

^^

thanks :p

I totally forgot James's double meaning at the news :D...

It was a really classic top gear.. a GREAT ONE!
 
"You've got me a kid, you've done your job...now get in the back" :banana: That sentece put a lot of coke onto my laptop :)) I see James is in charge with the sexual inuendos and jokes this series.

I found myself laughing a lot more than I thought it would be possible watching a Top Gear episode. So, a funny episode.

I am the only one who thinks Jeremy should have had a napkin during the Sienna Miller piece? He was drolling all over the place:)) Well, at the begining I was...who is she? (like with a lot of other guests at SIRPC...) And then..."Layer Cake"...ohhhhhh :))

Cut the "do it or you will bump into your precious...." (drum set, piano, etc...) Screams scripted and it is not funny. (James'piano on three legs, with the stack of porn...that's another story:)) )

Ideea for a nice challenge: get them the choice of any actual Porsche/Audi/BMW/Merc and then see who is fastest, then gets the highest mpg and finally, the hitd the highest speed at the end of the straight...everything at the superb Ascari Circuit.
