Re: Reminder - Tonight 8pm - Top Gear + Extra Gear
I'll be honest... the shows starting to mellow out and im enjoying it....
But the bad acting and rehearsed jokes AND CHIRS EVANS! oh i cant stand him, his voice is possibly the worst, it grates on me.
Even Harris looks to be shouting out rehearsed lines when hes in the studio, and thats a shame because ive always liked chris harris...
They need to get the script sorted and make it up more on the spot,
Also Chris Evans cant even drive a car quickly at all... he doesnt really know much about cars he just has a big collection, dont really see what use he has on the show!
Sabine and Harris both know the full workings and understand what its all about, i prefer watching those two then leblanc and evans.

Its a shame they didn't tell us a bit more about that mental car they drove around London in. It looked mental!
Re: Reminder - Tonight 8pm - Top Gear + Extra Gear
It's Ken Block's mustang, oft seen at Goodwood surrounded by lovely ladies. I wasn't so bothered about the car.....

Re: Reminder - Tonight 8pm - Top Gear + Extra Gear
Oh and now Sabine is on and so is harris and they actually reviewed a couple of interesting cars rather than the pointless challenges (which worked well with the other 3 doffus's), the whole show has improved. More nice cars like, less pointless challenges please.

Never heard of Block or his car before but thanks for the information.

He was the founder of DC Shoes but more recently is better known as a some time rally driver, full time stunt driving lunatic.MikeFish wrote:Never heard of Block or his car before but thanks for the information.

Re: Reminder - Tonight 8pm - Top Gear + Extra Gear
+1 for watching the gymkhana vids on YouTube!
If you remember the old topgear sequence where James May was passenger is a rally car around a US airfield as it did donuts through hangars etc - that was Ken Block too.
Anyone else think the RS3 or Golf R should have been in that hot hatch comparison? I suppose they weren't trying to cover all hot hatches.
Glad Chris Harris and Sabine got more screen time, Evans got less, and I thought Hart and Joshua made good guests. LeBlanc was pretty funny as Ken's passenger.

Only stunt driver I can name was the Russ bloke who hand-braked minis (and actually as it turns out I can't even name him either).
I was very drunk during the nineties and noughties if that was when he was famous.

I didn't think so until he brought out the AMG then I thought we might get some RS action, but no.FaisalJ wrote:

If you're going to show what you can get for an extra 10 grand why not show the faster, MUCH better sounding RS3?
