Top Gear


Leicester Ram

Recommended Posts

I've just finished watching their Christmas special.

For a show with such a massive fanbase, i really think Top Gear will be meeting its end soon.

Each time the episodes are extremely predictable and becoming repetitive after over 10 series with the same jokes and scenario's each time (Breaking May's car, everything going tits up and offending people)

I used to be a big fan, but after 4 years of repeats on Dave and Hammond being a complete white toothed ****, i am calling time on Top Gear.

wondering if anyone else has similar/utterly different opinions on it.

We've just watched it too Leicester - as you say, it was predictable in places and it was easy to see the intended puns on the train banners.

Twas funny though, especially when Clarkson called May a monumental kn*bend. I have to laugh at how Hammond gets emotionally attached to his cars. Mind you, that Mini was a little gem and in Hammond's eyes, another Oliver!

They did manage to make a bit of a mockery of all things British though didn't they? Then left the knackered cars where no bugger would ever see them.

But why did they virtually destroy a classic Mini!! It was one of the last ones built and in perfect condition and now it is wrecked. They went to far this time. The episode was very good but expecting a winch on a Mini to pull a 2 tonne Roller up a steep hill was incredibly stupid

You know what................i reckon that might have been staged 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />

Of course it was staged mate!! The poor Mini will never be the same again. It will end up in the TG display at Beaulieu Motor Museum. Much as I love TG the problem was it is a very rare Mini as it was one of the last ones built.

They should have used one from the late 80's when Rover used cheap metal from India and they rusted like hell.

I used to like top gear alot but the last 3/4 years its all too silly and very predictable 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> even the producer said in an interview a couple of years ago they were running out of ideas for the presenters characters. Hammond's just so cringey, especially when he's on total wipeout. What happened to the Hammond that used to present Braniac?? That was awsome TV 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />
