Top Gear - new series (spoiler alert)

**team_v** · 31-01-2012, 11:27 AM

Series 18 of the UK version has begun.

The Christmas special (in India) was okay but seems to be the same forumal as every christmas special so lacked any genuine humour.

Ep 1 of the new series sees a tour across italy in cars that you would buy if you didn't want a F 458 Italia.
My pick would be the car May ends up with.
Also keep an eye out for flames in the tunnel and at Imola.

Skipped the 15-20 minute SIARPC segment as it bores me and i really think they could ditch it and replace it with another car review segment.

Can't say I'd want that car. Every review I've read suggests that, while it's extremely competent and has very high limits, it's lacking in character and flair. Frankly, the name is completely appropriate for the car.

Me, I'd have a 458 Italia.

I'll have a yellow 458 with black interior and yellow stitching plus a black aventador with black wheels orange calipers and a black interior with orange stitching, is that too much for birthday and Christmas combined?? Haha I wish

Would you like a set of complementary red brake discs with your Aventador?

Agree! This would have been better to watch over the Will[dot]I[dot]am....[dot!] interview....
