Last couple of series have been bit a lacking, so I hope this one is better. Certainly a couple of interesting looking car comparisons there (X-Bow Vs. Caterham Vs. Morgan! :doubleup:) and, believe it or not, I'm quite looking forward to their feature on NASCAR.

Looking forward to it:doubleup:

`I'm quite looking forward to their feature on NASCAR` +1 :nod: :ok:

Can't wait. I've been watching the American topgear and that is as funny as.

Last couple of series have been pony!!! Lets hope things have improved:-) get back to how it should be:ok:

Fully agree, wasn't that struck on the Aussie Top Gear but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the US Top Gear.

(Though I'm slightly biased in that I quite rate Foust as a driver)

Yeah, the last couple of series have definately seemed quite forced, hope things improve.

Proper Sunday nights again:nod: not the same without topgear:doubledown:

Bloody Fantastic :EVO:

I enjoyed that.

Which one then the Lambo, Mclaren or Noble?


I want to drive those tunnels..:nod:

For some reason i really like the look of that Noble.....

Good episode, although Will.I.Am is a cock. But an improvement after the christmas special :ok:

Lambo all the way for me :ok:

Lamborghini !!!!!

Really enjoyed that, hope thats the rest of the series is at that standard.

First time in a long time that I've really liked all three cars in the test. Which one would I pick?... I do really like the look of the Lambo (and it gets bonus points for the blue flamage!) but I've always preferred the Gallardo over the Murcielago, so I'd say no to the Aventador as I'm sure a baby Lambo with the same styling is on the way.

Despite the criticism about it being too clinical I think the McLaren is an awesome bit of kit... but its the Noble that wins for me. I liked the older Nobles (especially the M400) and I like the M600 again. The grey replacement one in that film looked stunning (plus the turbo chatter sounded excellent! :doubleup:)

I want blue stuff out the exhaust :-D

I really enjoyed that last night, big hopes for the rest of the series.

was a good first episode and sod it will have all 3 of them super cars,wont be able to fit in any of them but will look bloody good on the driveway

Was a good first show:nod: hope the next few are as good or better though, always worrying when the first one's a good watch....

The replacement Noble was sooooo much better looking than the broken one but still wouldn't want one:nono:

Love the Lambo because its a Lambo I suppose:ok: but if its the same build quality as the Gallardo:angst: then thats a :nono: such a let down:cry:

Leaves the Mclaren:10: for me:polish:

enjoyed the show,and lets hopes it gets better and better

I'd have to say the Lambo wins for me. Got to respect Noble's customer service skills though!

Agreed on the Lambo, looked and sounded outrageous. As for the replacement Noble, I suspect it was good 'our car is on Top Gear and has broken' customer service rather than their normal way of doing things.

That said the guy who delivered it to Hammond must have had one hell of a rip down to Italy.

Don't forget, its on again in an hour! Hammond does a feature on NASCAR tonight, should be interesting to watch. :doubleup:

Bloodt telly is playing up F.cking thing. Weather??? :EVO:

Sounds more like operator error :razz:

One of the valves going? :p

Full props to Hammond for the NASCAR feature. Makes a pleasant change to see some intelligent commentary on the sport rather than the usual "its just turning left" line you normally get (usually from people who've never actually watched a full race :roll:).

I thought it was again a very good episode. The Chinese copies were hilarious!

Yeah a good episode last night what with the NAS car info, didnt realise how basic those cars are! ,the chinese bit was a tad boring towards the end though.

I will have you know its a top of the range telly. Granby was spot on though. :doh:

I love a drop of NASCAR, so I really enjoyed Hammonds bit last night.

Another good show though, I even enjoyed the Chinese bit at the end :ok:

I thought the China feature could have been better (that three wheeled thing looked awesome though! http://www.surreyscoobies.co.uk/foru.../icon_lol3.gif), though I think the point it made was certainly valid. Look at where the Japanese motor industry started post WWII and where that has ended up (though I guess the floodgates are not quite as open here as they were in the 70's).

When all else fails... read the instructions! :)

nascar was very good!!.... cant believe how they get away with blatant copies like those....:cuckoo:

and you gotta love chinese stig
