    Top Gear Season 9......fail?

    I just finished watching the 2nd episode and I'm bored.

    They managed to spend another 50 minutes and only talk about 3 different topics. And its ridiculous how they are short on material to make up for those minutes. The whole golfing scene..... 5 minutes to come to something completly pointless? They did it again later on.... and the whole art review thing was useless.

    Then there was the usual celebrity lap...... and a cool thing about hitting the top speed on the Veyron..... and that was it.

    What the hell happened with all the interesting stuff? Multiple car reviews, challenges, etc?

    Anyone shares the same view?

            I saw both and was highly entertained, although yes some of the stuff seemed a bit random, like building that road, but still funny.

            Also, I haven't watched many episodes only clips. And to help seeding everyone should use www.finalgear.com to Torrent.

                I fast forwarded through everything but the Veyron, and Hugh Grant's lap.

                  Nope, I was very highly entertained as usual. Loved the Veyron part, and I was amazed and my jaws dropped when they showed the crash of Hammond. I can't believe he walked out of that the way he did.

                  If I think about it I guess they are doing a little less of the reviewing and more of the bickering and arguing but its still great fun watching it.

                    I just watched the 2nd episode and thought the coupe section went a little long, but still entertaining.

                      Yeah, I figured the first episode would lack substance just because I figured that they would talk about Richard for the whole thing. But I agree, the second one was weak, they don't cover like anything. I bet it will get better though, im not judging yet.

                      Best episode ever was the caravan one where they went to the park and burned it to the ground!

                        Yeah.. I watched the airing on BBC last night. Loved the Bugatti segment.

                        I would like to hope they have more adventurouse things in stall coming season (e.g Toyota pickup torture)

                          BTW.... who noticed the black and white Veyron they had on the stage? Panda two tone is secks.

                            In general (majorly cause of the front end) the looks of the Veyron don't do it for me albeit it functional & exclusive.
