Just finished watching it.
Pretty good episode all up.

Review of the SLS ragtop (i would much rather take the XKR)
Nascar segment was pretty interesting.
Investigating the Chinese auto market was also interesting.
Actually watched the star segment which was a first for about 4 seasons.

I'd take the XK-R as well. But there was a VW Golf Cabrio at least

I saw that too
But when they do the flyby at the end they skipped it.

Episode 3 is up now.

James reviews sensible cars (i actually agree with him on the fact that the driving experience is the most enjoyable when close to the limit and that happens a lot easier in sensible cars)

Hammond and Clarkson attempt to choreograph a car chase for the upcoming sweeneey film (scripted and fairly dull as per usual "car chase filming skits")

SIARPC is Ryan Renalds - pretty funny but not a car nut.

Pretty average episode. Richard Hammond needs to stop the acting dumb thing. Not funny and a little bit cringe worthy.

Not one for the car fans.

It was good to see Clarkson take it seriously for once and tried to get a legitimate video, Hammond gotta stop acting like an idiot

Top Gear US series 3 begins today so it should be available tonight.

Now we have 2 shows per week for a short while
Shame the UK series ends after 6 or 7 episodes.

and I agree about Hammond, would be nice to have a proper car chase scene done by them for once rather than jokes all the time.

US Series 3 Ep 1 was a crackup.
Me and the GF were laughing for most of the episode.
Doesn't seem as forced as the UK version.

Star segment is shorter and hence, much more watchable.
Rutlege Wood has actually joined up on VWVortex and has been answering some questions about the show.

US Series 3 Ep 1 was a crackup.

"Is my phone OK?" LOL! Gold.

Ep 4 of the Uk version came out Monday.

Review of the Fisker Karma with the addition of a not so ecofriendly car.
Ferrari FF vs Bently Continental GT in winter.
Star segment was actually pretty good.
Mobility scooter challenge was okay but seemed really really staged and drawn out.




Ep 2 of the US version also came out (for some reason it is called S02 Ep10)
Comparison of new muscle cars
Modified Mustang's vs Pony's
Star was the guy from Rules of Engagement (Patrick W)
