tonyh29 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) Seems they were filming in South Africa in March , that episode will see them driving up Sani Pass into Lesotho I'm driving it in August and how I happened to find out Top gear had been there as it was on the Lodge's facebook page ( the 6 min mark onwards of that video isn't at all nervy ... I'm making sure I'm driving , no way am I being a passenger ) Edited April 11, 2016 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 New series starts in a few minutes, not sure what I'm expecting but I'll give it a chance. Just wish Eddie Jordan wasn't in it. Quite curious to see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I'd forgotten how much of an irritating word removed Chris Evans is, not impressed so far. it has been slightly redeemed by the Top Gun/Kenny Loggins reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Way too much peppiness and shouting from Evans. Ironically, the American is more quiet and subtle. I could easily be watching US Top Gear however. Pretty dull and plastic so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) Yeah it's pretty bad so far. Evans shouting everything is very, very, very annoying. Would have preferred a straight non gimmicky shoot out between the Chevvy and the Viper. Blackpool road trip is dull. New stars in a rallyX car format is dreadful. Needs to do loads more to redeem this. Edited May 29, 2016 by Ingram85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 They just tried to clone the old show when they should have done their own thing ... Heck they even did the "Some say" Stig lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 The irony that the only redeeming feature is the American co-presenter. Evans is out americaning him for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Well, that was mostly awful. Only good thing was the first part of the viper skit. Everything else was boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StanBalaban Posted May 29, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2016 I'm really surprised at the BBC as I didn't think adverts were allowed? Yet I've just watched an hour-long commercial telling me to get Amazon Prime. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 (edited) Everything was sh*t about it. -Evans trying to imitate Clarkson -Le Blanc is dreary -Copying the way the old show introduced the Stig -Evans shouting at every **** opportunity -Evans treating the audience like they are children -Evans being completely unfunny -The whole UK vs USA film was unfunny and cringe worthy -The new 'star in a car going over a bit of grass' segment is dreadful It is utter **** sh*t and should be binned immediately.

AVFCDAN Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Calling Leblanc dreary is a bit harsh for me, I thought he played it alright in terms of tone. Did you want him to be the brash and shouty American he could have been? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
