Have to agree with you there chap, Why would I want boring reviews of cars i dont want to own or am never going to afford to own? I'd much rather see somebody prat about with them, have fun and whatnot.

It's not even funny? Who didn't expect that banner to tear off leaving muffs the minute they saw it? If it was funny (and it did used to be) then I would be fine with it. But it's not. It's not funny. |

Top gear is very stale now, there is nothing special about the "specials" as they prat about and go abroad in the same format in the standard episodes, i used to really like top gear and like the occational show but you can only laugh at the same type of gags so many times.

I liked it, even though the gags have been recycled a few times. The thing is the current format has been with us for 10 years now pretty much so of course they're gonna be running out of stuff to do, I'd imagine the bbc is going to kill it off it the not to distant future so lets enjoy it while it lasts as compared to most tv it is very entertaining.

What a load of wank. Turned off half way through. TV for morons. +1... if their not reviewing overpriced sportscars then their destroying classic's with very few everyday cars between so fifth gear all the way
they should get some band practice in and start smashing guitars instead

As far as destroying classics goes I have seen 10 times more minis on this forum cut up and never put back together than TG have ever destroyed. You can't compare it to fifth gear you might as well compare it to strictly come dancing if you are going to do that. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

I doubt it it brings in far more than it takes out in revenue.

Allegedly the mini was an insurance write of before they took it to India, so nothing lost really.

Just managed to sit through this. If that's all they could find to do in India not all that good compared to Vietnam, not even close. Own the day

watched it last night. Dissapointing really. Why go to India for all those gags, could have been done in the UK.

Very below par in comparison to the other specials. I only watch it for the humour rather than the cars....it was poor. I always liked the car against public transport races across Europe......haven't had any for awhile.
