July 20, 200917 yr comment_257428 E05 was really good. More of a throwback to season 5/6 with the cheap car challenge but it was funny as hell and not too over the top. Solid classic TG. Report
July 22, 200917 yr comment_257906 I LOVE to hate Morris Marinas! But by far, the season premiere was one of their weakest episodes... They should have started with episode 2 with the trance music and all... Report
July 22, 200917 yr comment_257911 The series, finally, has gotten into the swing of it. I was worried that I might not laugh at all or actually be interested, and frankly it has been forced and contrived until now. E4 was breaking back, E5 is properly back to form. I loved it. Report
July 24, 200917 yr comment_259050 E4 would have been much better if they had all gotten in the car for the postal race. 4 door Porsche, so it makes sense, and I don't think they've ever done a trip like that before. Report

July 25, 200917 yr comment_259196 Obviously not Top Gear, but this does appear to be the default gearhead thread. Wordless beauty etc. Report

July 30, 200917 yr comment_261067 E06 was good too. The show seems to be back into the swing of things. Still no real gems like E01/02 of last season or the Vietnam special but at least we have some very solid episodes. Report
August 1, 200917 yr comment_261558 as talented as he is, i'm not sure even he can get back into that kind of condition that quickly. Report
August 3, 200917 yr comment_261982 To be honest, I thought the series was mediocre. But this last episode was really good. Report
August 6, 200917 yr comment_263580 How come Captain Slow gets to have all the fun? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6cZLfK4Zjk Report
August 7, 200917 yr comment_263895 The other reason is that he's done several science type documentaries for the BBC, so this was just a one-off special in the same vein. His Big Ideas series is worth a quick search. Report
August 7, 200917 yr comment_263928 Well for one reason, he can actually fit into the cockpit. If that were the sole criteria then the little hamster guy would have been sent although I'd have to agree with anyone who might suggest his history around jet engines isn't that reassuring. Report
August 9, 200917 yr comment_264272 Meh, James May = awesome and the more JM we see outside of Top Gear the better. He is becoming a fairly popular show host/presenter in general from what I've gathered. Report

October 21, 200916 yr comment_287771 I think I might see a hint of a back windshield. Lotus is still one of the coolest looking cars I've seen, used to have a electric RC one in college that they would race. Report
October 22, 200916 yr comment_287808 I believe the reasoning goes thusly: when you're going faster than anything else, you don't need to see behind you. Report
October 22, 200916 yr comment_287814 All this inappropriate bumping of the Top Gear thread is killing me. I keep thinking the show is back on, bastards. I do approve of the Lotus though. Report
