Top Gear Series 17 starts Sun June 26

[chardman]

Don't know if it airs in America right away, but it starts this weekend on BBC2. Can't wait.

Wohooooo it's back

 

[Roger Wilco]

It's back, it's back.

That was awesome, including Hammond's Maurauder segment which I thought would never air because it wasn't up to TG standards. The history lessons on the Mini's role in rally racing and on the E Type were strong as well. Best "regular" TG episode in a long time.

 

[sojourner]

Think it starts in July on BBCA. If not, then my DVR sucks at telling new shows from repeats.

TG has standards?

They have some of the best production values on television, "ambitious but rubbish" aside.

Absolutely loved Clarkson's big British spiel. The rest not so much... though that Marauder is one hell of a vehicle. Alice Cooper was a pleasant guest too.

 

[Starkers]

Alice Cooper always comes across well.

I wonder if Clarkson can afford to buy himself an Eagle sportster?

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

I wonder if they'll ever try to launch another Reliant Robin?

I'd like to see what could happen if all goes well.

This Marauder-thing was pretty interesting I thought. Obviously as a vehicle beyond dumb for 99,9999% of the population, but I was impressed how it survived that blast and was able to drive right out of that hole. I doubt even many actual non-tracked military vehicles can do that.

The E-type piece was very good, despite the fact I think Jeremy Clarkson is an embarrassing old coot.

I was thinking the British Army should have bought a few!!

Jaguar E-Type "Growler" sorry, can't help it... I shouldn't laugh...

Stop beating around the bush and start with the punning! You know you want to...

 

[Haggis and tatties]

I missed the whole last season but they are showing it again on Sundays nights now on BBCHD.....just saw the one with the new Hummer.

That was a big bugger.

 

[Servo]

I've not seen the latest episode yet, but I saw the first episode and all I can say is I'm in love with the Eagle Speedster.

I've never really been into cars that much, and I've never bothered to learn to drive - mainly due to the cost of owning and running a car not being practical given my lifestyle, but if I ever won the lottery or something, I'd gladly get a driving license just so I could own and drive a Speedster.

 

[Deckerd]

Hmmm but is it worth half a million?

 

[Servo]

If I only had half a million, then it wouldn't be worth blowing the whole lot on one car, even one as beautiful as the Speedster. However, if I'd won the lottery and had millions of pounds to spare, then the price would be irrelevant.

 

[Lonemagpie]

I see Sebastian Vettel is this week's Star in A Reasonably Priced Car - that should be interesting!
