Top Gear New Series

[Kibbin]

I'll wait till they get rid of one of the presenters and then apply for that instead.

Series 15 starts airing on 27th of June.
I think sport might be in the way for a few Sundays though.
When does Wimbledon start?

Damn, the word was June 20th for a long while, now I have to wait another week!

Wimbledon runs June 21-July 4.

Looks like the new Focus.... and what would an episode of TG be without an Aston Martin?

There are pictures of the new car on final gear.

 

[SlyCardie]

Sweet, have about 5 episodes stored up in the DVR that I have to get to.

The new episode was kind of "meh" overall, but Jeremy driving around in that 3-wheeled car had me and my wife laughing ourselves to death for about ten straight minutes.

Bring on the competitions, races and road trips. And the F458 Italia.

Review of the Camaro confirmed for third episode of this season, the one that airs on June 11th

Clarkson will eviscerate it I think, Hammond would be kinder if he was doing the segment. They'll make a few positive comments about its straight line acceleration and then make fun of its interior and bulky handling for the rest of the segment, with as many anti-American, "fat-ass" jokes as they can get away with.

To be honest, even the American press is pretty much over its infatuation with the new Camaro now that it's on the road and people can actually drive it, so I can't see the TG guys being that interested in it. They're going to compare it to cars like the RS5 and M3... yeesh.

The last "Top Gear track invite" segment was much more entertaining than the one this season. All in all, I'm hoping they are just saving their budget for upcoming episodes.

 

[Hermiod]

There's a cheap car challenge next week, those are usually fun.

Spoiler: Next week

£5,000 each to spend on cars that are good on the track as well as being good family cars.

Whooops. Corrected.

I don't care, as long they do a segment of it with their production values, I'm good

 

[BigFoot]

^ Agreed. It's a stunning car and I'm sure the production team will do it justice.

That's pretty much my reaction as well--Clarkson's Robin segment was surprisingly funny despite being the same joke over and over again. (On an aside, was the car really THAT unsafe and easy to tip over??!)

The episode overall wasn't as bad as some of the stuff last season, but not great either...thoroughly average which is still good compared to other television.

There are lots of stories of them tipping over, but I know someone who drove one for 15 years and he never turned it over.

One near me fell over and knocked a garden wall over.

 

[HappyDayRiot]

Sure, but come on how many people would put their foot down in a Robin like Clarkson did?

I liked this one. The Robin had me in stitches every time it rolled over or reared up. And I always like their garden parties.

 

[V'ger]

their new lap board parties are great, just come along if you have some kind of celeberty status, classic
