It was definitely better than the xmas special but then that wouldn't have been hard. I agree with Shorty it's all been done to death now and it's about time they got their fingers out of each others 4r5e5 and came up with something original. I said this to Issy the quicker they dump the b3ll3nd in a cheap car the better, that guy is so far up his own 4r5e and it was pretty obvious that clarkson didn't even know who this guy was! after all this, I'll still continue to watch it, as for all it's been sh1te for a good while now it's still better than anything else on the tv  ------------- ///2000 E39 M5 Imola Red/// NO MORE una volta lei ha avuto l'italiano lei non andrà mai tedesco di nuovo haha |

| Isn't it amazing that every American that is promoting a movie and drives the reasonably priced car has amazing times ?? How much is Jeremys back pocket being filled with that bribe ? Its a bit unrealistic !! |

19/2/2012 ...... Well it all started so well ...... nice film about a sporty electric car ( Nice  ) ..... Then a good wee "Jolly " to Iceland ( Ok bit pointless but on the other hand sort of interesting  ) ....... Star in rubbish car !!!! ( Just more advertising for actors new film  !!!! ) ....... THEN ......... MORE  RUBBISH CHALENGES ( UTTER .....UTTER NONSENCE ) Having looked on other fourums they are of the same opinion .......... TOO MUCH MESSING ABOUT .....NOT ENOUGH IMFORMITIVE FILMS !!!!! SORT IT OUT TOP GEAR !!!!  ------------- |

I enjoyed it last night and the ending with Jeremy getting another lot of injured soldiers involved and giving them beer... Jezzer showing who he thinks are the real heroes are..

Yes Cambell Clarkson's review was more entertaining and more informative, giving some of the bad points of the car as well as saying in was the best 4 door car in the world.. Good find on youtube though . Did you wear the same anorak while you were looking or change halfway through... Sandy ------------- I have been diagnosed with ADHOtS.

Nah dude, he was expressing "words" pertaining to what may possibly be an opinion, we all know what his opinion is worth, especially the striking workers who were "taken outside and shot in front of their families" in November.
He says "words" that he recons people may want to hear. If he thought the E60 M5 was the best saloon car in the world, why does he not have one in place of his Taxi (oops, Merc).
Not a personal assault on Mr "so called" Clarkson, just the content of the show and the way it is presented.
As for the anorak, I have a plethora of those for my many interests.

I forgot about the Saab news of them going bust.
I have to say the Saab drivers I've experienced drive very badly, a guy near me, tailgates you and where I park a guy swings into the next car park space with only millimeters to spare from my car. Needless to say this guy has a large dent in his front wing.
Others drive very agressivley, and I wonder is it becase they have realised they are just driving around in a more expensive Vectra. ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

"Lets see who can do the most do-nut's " ....... again i ask the question "Did i learn anything from this ?????" ...... yes ....... i learned how not to make a complete KN*B of myself on national T.V .....

I thought last nights was probably the best for the series, M5 review (wonder why Clarkson didn't drive it?) and the motor racing for a couple of grand.

So who thinks that Slash wears a wig then? All that hair was never under the crash helmet. It must be stuck to the stoopid hat he weas.
I had to tell my wife who Slash was.....oh dear. ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series! Current '13 62 F10 535i MSport Auto Previous '04 04 E60 545i SE Auto '03 53 E60 545i SE Auto (Stolen) '98 S E39 523i SE Auto |

Had me gripped for the whole hour this time ( not want to go make a coffee half way through )
M5 thing was AWSOME  ........ what a bus ...... pity not all the programs have been this good ------------- |

I enjoyed that episode but was a bit disappointed with the M5 review. For a car with so much hype I think it could have been a bit longer and more of a road test like what they did for the E60.
