Meh...
The Mono review was good but, as someone said before, a bit boring. It lacked the drama previous single-seater reviews had, like the Ariel Atom or the Caparo. Jeremy didn't looked impressed or scared by it, like he was with the Caparo... It looked like he was driving a pretty normal car.
The taxi race was rubbish and boring, and quite honestly they should stop making those kind of things. Everyone knows already that it will end up in some sort of crash fest. Besides, this time the crashes were so blatantly staged that, for a moment, I considered not watching any more of the episode. The only thing I enjoyed about it was the limo drifting.
The SIARPC was quite good actually, one of my favourites, I must say. Ron Howard looks like a very very nice guy, the names part was quite funny, specially the Volvo bit, and I simply can't wait to watch
Rush. From what I've seen so far, that might well be one of my favourite movies ever.
And then we get to the worst part of this episode, and I dare say, one of the worst in the history of Top Gear: the Trial VS Runners race. It was useless, boring, unentertaining, and 2 guys jumping through glass in super slow motion? What in God's name was that? That might look good in some sort of cheap action movie (which I don't think it will, to be honest), but on Top Gear? PLEEEEEEEASE!
But after a storm comes a calm, as they say. The Ferrari review was very good. Magnificent scenery, an absolutely SPECTACULAR car and a jump!... In a Ferrari!
That was good to watch. But nevertheless, it seems that it still lacked something. A review on TG's track, perhaps?
All in all, not a good episode. The SIARPC was my favourite part of the show, and that, believe me, can not be a good thing. They have to start thinking about Top Gear again as what it's supposed to be: a car show, not a series of obviously staged races, crashes, stunts or whatever being filmed in super slow motion. TG isn't supposed to be a movie, but unfortunately it's looking more and more like one...
4/10, that's what it deserves.
