Top Gear - new series (spoiler alert)

Watched the latest Top Gear USA (ep 7). Finally a great celebrity
The rest of the "Beat Tanner" episode was good too

I actually really enjoyed this episode.
The beat Tanner x 3 challenges were enjoyable, the real life vs video game thing has not been done that i know of on the UK version.
Infineon is a great track, i am going to spend a lot of time on that one in forza 4 if i get it.

Skipped the star again, that part is a real bore for me.

yeah i liked the challenges although i thought that tanner drifted the bus... and the chick was terrible. 11 seconds slower than Buzz Aldrin

episode 7 is pretty good and my dads lucky enough to have driven that EXACT LFA, he said it was pretty good but there was no way he'd ever spend that much money (even if he could afford it) on a toyota... no matter how good it is... ill see if i can find the pictures he sent me of it

Yeah, I must admit, the LFA does nothing for me....

It can be hard to tell from the "snippets" you see on the show, but I was actually shocked at how bad the Forza 4 representation of Infineon is. I'm very familiar with that track, having watched races from there since it was called Sears Point and was lucious and green. But yeah, it's as if they've just looked at pictures of the track and made it up from there.... Forza people need to make sure they never look at iRacing... lol.

Skipped the star again, that part is a real bore for me.

lol.. Bridgette rocks...

... and the chick was terrible. 11 seconds slower than Buzz Aldrin

lol... yeah, can't believe she learnt how to drive a manual doing the challenge, lol.

Watched almost all of Top Gear Australia last night and I am amazed how they managed to make a test where they ragged an R8 V10 and an Amarok boring. It was cringe worthy

And the Red Back Spider supercar section. This is 'the most beautiful car in built in Australia"

Are they serious?!?! No doubt it's well engineered but look at it!
Sorry but the whole show is just a little bit patronising, as in "hey, you like cars, your an Aussie, then you'll love this because its got a V8"

[GTi Bhoy]

TG-A is rubbish.
Not worth watching even if the review is on an interesting car because they wouldnt know how to review it.

[Cookie28]

I've given up on TGA... Its hopeless, I'd say I've only watched 2 whole episodes since the very first one

S2 Ep 8 of Top Gear US is out now.

I actually found it genuinely enjoyable.
No forced laughs but plenty of hilarious moments.

Star segment still sucks though.

Sweet thanks, will have to watch it when I can be bothered to get out of bed (I'm on school holidays)
