Sundays Top Gear (Japan)

It turned me off when they tied those cars together and absolutely destroyed that FD.

Why do they think we wanna see stupid curse word....boils my blood

I think Rory is spot on, you could really see his passion and genuine excitement during the bozo and lambo sections.

All in all a really good episode :-)

I enjoyed it, thought it captured a slice of Japan nicely. I also don’t like to see old cars getting bashed about but overall a great episode.



BBC iPlayer :-)

rory annoys me intensely

harris is growing on me

leplonk makes me chuckle

......but why oh why trash the rx??? it was all going well till then.

more sabine please....I love it when she squeals!!

Having had 2 FD’s over 12 years I nearly cried when they wrecked the one they had. Just no need for it. Would of been so much better to see them race some more or another funny clip, but not tie them together and bash them up for no good reason. Sadly though when you have a budget as big as theirs, a couple of ‘cheap’ cars like that is nothing to them. Saying that, I’d happy have it off them and fix it back up.

Loved the rest of the episode to and thought Rory’s bit was excellent too. Japs do like to do things a bit different don’t they. One day I’ll go and see it all first hand

Best episode yet although slightly bias being into JDM cars

I watched and finally enjoyed an episode after a long time (including the end of the previous incarnation). As above loved alot about the episode, really loved Rory's bit as the excitement he had came across on screen when he was doing his segment, I wish we'd seen more about it and maybe abit more of the history (though maybe not as indepth as James May's cars of the people espisode).

I moaned on faceache about the destruction and was told not to be so whiney because the FD was poorly resprayed and low spec and the Skyline wasn't in the best nick either with some problems.

But really as a petrolhead and a massive fan of Japanese cars it annoyed me to needlessly destroy them for cheap laughs when it wasn't necessary.
It's horrid to put a rank on them but they weren't common cars they were two names from Japan that really headlined their car building talents and put them onto the map, even if they were slightly ropey versions they were ropey versions of top quality 90's Japanese metal. grrr.

Although if it was my way all of the cars going through the auction would be saved and restored... wouldn't be profitable though

matt and chris have raised their banter game since season1, i am pleased! although i would rather it not be at the expense of chris' credibility (seems to be turning into jerry lewis and dean martin) chris becoming a weird 1950s stooge to Matts straight man act.

I would not miss Borey Reid if he were replaced. no charisma, not particularly funny or entertaining, not very talented presenter, and that stupid wrecking ball laugh. Jason dawe was terrible too, they replaced him with james may and it clicked....
