latest episode was IMO the funniest episode they'd had in YEARS

creating their own versions of their ideal Ambulance...

a 944T, G20 van and a Cosworth powered hurse....SERIOUSLY hilarious!

Honestly I think their episodes are getting too cheesey and staged. Some are too exaggerated to be funny anymore for me

I kinda feel that way sometimes too. But when Captain Slow fell off the horse in Argentina, that was gold.

There really isn't any good alternative. I agree I wish it wasn't as cheesy, but I'm not complaining when it's the best out there.

Yeah, last season left quite a bit to be desired IMO. The first episode (I think?) was especially bad. I know they say that those episodes are just meant 'for entertainment' but I don't really see why it has to be stupid to be entertaining. I think they're at a point where they need to consider either bowing out gracefully, or running it into the ground, which is kinda the way it's going, although it's still better than most of what's on TV.

And when hammond falls off the bike that is like 24k gold right there

"Staying Alive" siren on the 944 LOL

Hammond get drenched in vomit, Clarkson in blood, inches away from a dingdong lol

it's worth a 2nd watch

curious...I wonder why TG has never put a E30 M3 on their track.
they've had the Benz 190 cosworth at some point, and a multitude of E30's. E34's and E32's....

I was worried that Top Gear was going to be very infrequent releases of good but not great episodes at some point and that the broadcast hours would be filled by reruns and "Top 40 Top fails". This seasons been 10/10 though and of their 3 arrivals at the end of the ambulance race killed me.

I've watched it quite a few times now, catch more and more subtle hilarity each time. I loved the porsche with the Gulf livery, ram front, hand brake and choochoo blowoff valve.

They they had an E30 M3, E34 M5 and M1 way back in an old episode. Like season 2 or 3.

[rturbo 930]

Shit.

I remember that. It was a good episode too, if I remember correctly they were celebrating the M1's existence right?

Right there with you.

I hate our overly pc society

Has nothing to do with our society, just the UK and their laws.

Of course one could say that our version of Top Gear is the result of PC sensitivities, but probably has to do with advertising dollars.

[Mr. Burns]

The episode featuring the Peugot's fkin SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED.
