New series- 17 i think, is on in 15 mins.

anyone else loking forward to it?

 

[Deva]

I am. From what I've read about the first episode doesn't sound like it is going to be that great. Hope I am wrong though.

 

[M_P]

Thats what I thought on first impressions too, althnough next weeks looks like a goodun

 

[Nutster]

well? opinions? i want a marauder

 

[M_P]

no no nooo, I want a knight XV, much cooler

but yeah, i wasn't expecting it to be that good, but I really enjoyed it.... apart from that stupid horrible BMW

 

[Rock-climby-Dave]

IKR, cars ruining the car show!

but srsly, list of things I want from that show:

Maurauder

E type

New E-type

Hurricane

Spitfire

some parachutes

more E types

The original mini

James May's shirts....

 

[M_P]

not to mention more mtp to add to my collection

you dont like the new mini?- blasphemy

 

[M_P]

and i'd still rather have a knight xv looks much more comfortable

also known as the badassmobile

 

[jor7000]

Yes, but the Marauder will crush the puny knight xv.

 

[M_P]

tbf it'd crush most things lol, when i win the lottery I'll buy one, just to drive over a load of fiat 500's :lol:

Made my weekend. Finished A2 exams and school forever, skirmished for the first time in 2 months on Sunday, and had a brilliant episode of Top Gear to watch

I enjoyed it.

If I win the lottery I'm getting one of those Marauders. In red. The perfect town car.

I'm sorry, I just think it looks nicer. The Knight XV just...doesn't have the same appeal when I look at it. To me, it looks like a cartoon of a monstertruck and the latest batmobile.

Looking forwards to next week.

 

[Nutster]

That knight xv looks familiar though, fast and furious-fast five?

 

[M_P]

Maybe... it was shown on top gear a while ago in the news

 

[Deva]

No more posts here.. thought they episodes have been getting better. Wasn't too surprising about Vettel going top and the Ferrari vs McLaren piece was pretty good.

 

[M_P]

I thought the last episode was good too- would like to see James eat his hair

Although the next one looks really good- but I'm not gonna spoil it :lol:

Does it annoy anyone else that the series are so short? THey used to last for 10+ episodes but now it's only 6/7 or so

 

[Deva]

That annoys me too, but they seem to do more full episode specials which tends to make up for it.

 

[M_P]

yeah I guess, and I must say that the video's are much better over the last couple of series- the BMW 1M the animations and stuff were amazing

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

I feel like it's kind of going down hill tbh. They're trying to be funny for funny's sake and not because things happen by accident.

A heck of a lot of what goes wrong for the sake of humour is so obviously staged that I just don't find it that funny.

And that thing about a bird crapping on Clarksons Range Rover? Who cares?!

But, despite all my negativity, I still watch it religiously and look forward to it, I just enjoy the old repeats on Dave that I haven't seen yet more than all the new episodes

 

[ads8746]

I would say 99.9% is staged but its still entertaining . And i would like the new growler E type! But a bit expensive even for me

Caravans behind the 'train' simply had to have a bad ending, it's Top Gear and caravans. So yes it is predictable but if they hadn't had another chip pan fire or demolished another caravan everyone would be wondering what happened.
