Downloading it now.
 
Released! :)
 
Cool, starting the download.
 
Just finished watching it.

It's one of the better recent 5G's, but I haven't been massively impressed by 5G .. well .. ever. Just like TG you can see the frustration with the Aston Martin, but at least they have decent customer service :)

As I say, one of the better 5G's for a while, but not a patch on this week's TG.

-p
 
One of the boring episodes. They have loads of good ideas, but always present them in the boring way. Probably not enough $$$

I was hoping that I wouldn't have to agree with you (b/c I'm a huge Tiff and Vicki fan), but I do.

SPOILER ALERT (rest of my post)

I'm soooo disappointed with the Vanquish S review; they could have done so much with that. I don't understand why they didn't take it to that oval track where Tiff attained the world speed record in the McLaren F1 and where 5G tested the Continental GT's top speed. Why an airstrip? Not enough $$$? Ultimately, the failed attempt at 200 mph showed nothing...it doesn't show that Vicki is a bad driver or that the car sucked. They shoulda done something else with the car instead of airing this (e.g. a proper review).

Tiff powersliding around in the STi was entertaining, but the Chris Ryan part was quite boring. One question though, why did they have to use a facelifted Discovery and a Freelander to do the terrorist moves? It's such a waste!!! They can probably be easily repaired though. The impacts show how tough those Land Rovers are, even when the Disco sideswipes the Freelander!!
 
Well, I'm distributing at least 3 times more then I download every time.

About the episode.
I liked the bit about power slide. It seems so easy to hold it, that people are probably thinking it is. But it's certainly not as we can see here :) The rest is pretty boring I agree. When I watch older episodes, they seem to be more entertaining. I really liked reviews by that big guy with beard (can't remember it's name :(), why is he gone? Adrian Simpson (reviewer of the seat in this ep.) isn't near as good in my opinion.
 
^^ Tom Ford, my favorite too...He wrote an article in the latest Top Gear magazine...
 
this ep didnt seem so entertaining as usual... i mean they randomly teach a guy yo powerslide and vicky tries to drive fast. :? didnt seem as good as usual
 
Hey sir clever, of course I meant I'm not satisfied with a top speed test alone. :p
 
jasonchiu, 0.3 kb/s? That's painfully slow...I uploaded like 400 MB before I stopped and I was uploading at speeds of at least 70 kb/s. Check your firewall configuration dude...there's so many seeders even for older episodes.
 
Just watched this episode and I found it amusing that Vicki says the engine was heavily reworked on the Aston while Jeremy on TG said they barely did anything. :lol:
