yep... Sorta looking forward to it. Allways watch topgear and love it. But ... the history of the 911 supposedly according to the planner.  How many more times can they talk about 911's and astons  |

Can't wait, always a good crack! How many more times can they talk about 911's and astons Yep..... would be good to see them expand their horizons a little instead of constantly rattlin' on about lambo's, rarri's, astons and porkers. Why do you think the last model of Top Gear went under? Because they talked about dull and boring cars. At the end of the day, they broadcast what the majority of what the nation wants to see. |

Well the show is called TOP Gear after all. Not Skank Gear, Randy Gear, Affordable Gear, First Gear, etc etc.... It's all about aspirational motoring and dreaming and making fun of low brow cars (as perceived by the moneyed class). Innit it?

Ain't seen tonights episode yet ( although already seen the clips of the bug being dropped ) I hope it's not gonna be the new 'joke' like the last series Marina thing . Don't really get why they've got a problem with the Beetle ( especially Hammond who is supposedly a 911 fan  ) |

Not one of the best episodes... Bit bland. But i kinda expected it.
don't care about the bug realy.. Its happened, Theres enough of em about for it to not matter. And the one they dropped was in SA where theres bloody tons of em.. Probably also SA made and no one over here wants em.....
So nobody start going on about that.
The skoda thing was ok... Liked the helicopter on the roof.
Oh and while i do agree with the whole top gear being about fast cars.... Theres alot more fast cars about than just porsches and astons...

i think they should get a couple of well tuned 'normal' everyday cars on the show, and then compare them with the astons, porkers, ferraris etc would make for some interesting watching

I'm not actually 'ranting' about droping the Beetle ( they've destroyed a damn sight more in various Herbie films etc and nobody moans about them ! ) , besides , they do blow up a hummer later in the series I believe so that kinda makes up for it !

As a Beetle owner I loved it, good episode on the whole, I liked it more than the second Christmas special. And before the moaning gets going. It's cartainment
